madguyevans-creator broker-fuse: Price Shield (Global Interceptor)
The hard-stop safety mechanism that gives users confidence to delegate pricing authority to the AI.
This is a GLOBAL INTERCEPTOR, NOT a sequential step. Every publish action (broker-card) and every auto-repricing action (broker-schedule) MUST validate against the floor. It is the gate that all price-mutating operations pass through.
Core Principle
The user delegates daily price adjustments to the AI, but retains ultimate control via an unbreachable floor. The AI operates within a safe zone; the fuse is absolute.
Every price change — whether initial publish or later auto-repricing — flows through the shield check. If suggested_price < floor_price, the action is BLOCKED and logged to the audit trail. This is the technical implementation of the pricing safety boundary.
Workflow
- Present risk profiles for reference:
| Profile | Floor | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fast Sale | 55% of recommended | Faster liquidity, less profit |
| Balanced (recommended) | 70% of recommended | Trade speed and profit |
| Profit Protection | 85% of recommended | Wait for right buyer |
- User sets exact floor price (or accepts a profile suggestion)
- Validate: floor must be < current listing price
- Write fuse to listing state
- Explain what happens:
- Above floor: AI auto-adjusts without asking
- Below floor: Repricing pauses, user is notified
- Scheduler will never cross the floor
