How MONUNI decides

Most trading tools give you a signal and leave the hard part to you. MONUNI runs the whole decision — and shows you every step of it, including the steps where it decided not to trade.

The pipeline

A trade has to survive every stage below. Any one of them can stop it, and each one says why.

1Agents read the market

Each agent has its own way of reading price, volume and context. They disagree with each other on purpose — a team where everyone reaches the same conclusion is one strategy wearing several names.

2Portfolio allocation decides the size

An agent proposes a trade; it does not decide how much of your money is behind it. Allocation works from what you have made available, what is already deployed, and how much of your capital that agent is entitled to.

3The risk engine can refuse

Position size comes from the distance to the stop loss, not from a fixed fraction. Several independent caps are computed and the smallest one wins. If the trade cannot be sized within your limits, it does not happen — and the refusal is recorded with the reason.

4Gates run in order

Environment, trading mode, market conditions, exposure, cooldowns, daily loss, drawdown. Each gate returns a reason rather than a silent no, so a trade that did not happen is as explainable as one that did.

5Only then does anything reach an exchange

In Observe and Paper modes, nothing does — by construction, not by configuration. In Approval mode you decide. In Auto mode MONUNI executes within the limits you set, and every order carries an identifier derived from the decision so it can never be placed twice.

6The decision is written down either way

Traded or declined, the record is the same: which agent, how confident, what allocation permitted, what risk allowed, which constraint bound, and what the market looked like at the time.

Two things you control separately

Environment is whose money is at stake — test or live. Trading mode is how far MONUNI may go. They are deliberately independent, so you can run a real account in Observe for as long as you like.

Observe

MONUNI analyses and records. It places nothing, and it cannot — the code path that contacts an order API is closed in this mode.

Paper

Simulated fills against real prices, with real fees and slippage modelled. Still no real order.

Approval

MONUNI proposes; you decide. Nothing is placed until you say yes, and it re-checks the market before acting on your approval.

Auto

MONUNI executes within your risk limits without asking each time. It still cannot exceed a single one of them.

What you should expect

Most of what MONUNI does is decide not to trade. A quiet week with a clear record of why is what a disciplined process looks like, and it is the honest thing to expect. Nobody can promise you a return, and we will not pretend otherwise.
