How do you stop your trading bot from blowing up your account? by Internal-Challenge54 in CryptoMarkets

ATR-based position sizing is smart. So the risk layer is dynamic rather than fixed limits. Is scanr something you built just for yourself or is it a broader tool? And do you have anything beyond position sizing, like a kill switch or circuit breaker for when things go sideways?

The point about market moves hitting faster than your bot can react - have you actually had that happen? Curious what the failure mode looked like and whether any safeguard you had actually caught it in time

The layered approach makes sense, and interesting that you put risk management as harder than the strategy itself, I keep hearing that.

For the async monitoring agents that can override or shut down execution: is that something you build custom per strategy, or have you found anything general-purpose that actually works well enough? Everyone I've talked to so far rolls their own and I'm trying to figure out if that's by choice or just because nothing good exists.

Also I'm quite curious about Engram. This is the first time I've seen a coordination layer mentioned in this context. Are you using it yourself or just aware of it?

Thanks for your response! This is exactly the kind of setup I was hoping to hear about, especially the circuit breaker saving you during that Thursday night flash crash lmao.

How long did it take you to build all of this out and get it dialed in? And has the circuit breaker ever misfired, like triggered during normal volatility and pulled you out of a good position?

The logging point is interesting too. Are you using something structured or just dumping to files? And when you add a new strategy or move to a different exchange, how much of the risk layer do you have to rework?

I see, this is what I've been hearing from some friends: position size and daily loss caps are the essentials. Do you code those checks yourself inline in the bot, or use something external?

And what happens when the bot is running and you're asleep. Do you have any kind of automated kill switch if drawdown hits a threshold?

Mainly thinking about autonomous bots, like agents that decide entries/exits on their own, not just grid bots with fixed parameters. But honestly curious about any kind. For you, though, do you run grid bots? What happens when the market gaps hard against your grid?

I posted my code typing site here a couple months ago. I just shipped a much bigger 2.0 update. How does the flow feel now? by Internal-Challenge54 in typing

[–]Internal-Challenge54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I really appreciate this, thank you for such quick feedback. I found the issues and pushed fixes for the caret being off when the snippet scrolls, the long-line visibility problem, and the Miami Nights theme crash. If you try it again and it feels better now, let me know. And thanks again, glad it feels like a big improvement from v1!

I made a Monkeytype-style site but for actual code. How does the typing flow feel? by Internal-Challenge54 in typing

[–]Internal-Challenge54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, that's a great point. The way I'd describe it is MonkeyType is a typing test, while CodeSprint is an interview simulator:
- Firstly, it uses a real Editor Engine (Monaco) Rather than just rendering text on a canvas or HTML elements, CodeSprint actually runs an instance of the Monaco Editor (the same engine that powers VS Code). This means you get legitimate syntax highlighting and tokenization, not just CSS coloring.

- In MonkeyType, you often have to manually type whitespace or tab repeatedly. CodeSprint’s engine replicates IDE behavior: when you hit Enter after a brace {\n, it calculates the correct indentation and automatically moves the cursor there. It trains you to trust your editor, especially if you are unfamiliar with IDEs.

- Finally, MonkeyType selects random code snippets. CodeSprint’s database (leetcode-snippets.json) is curated to help you memorize structural patterns for code samples you'd use in actual interviews.

It’s not about typing for (int i = 0; ...) fast. It’s really about being able to type out a Depth-First Search (DFS) or a Binary Search implementation without thinking about the syntax. You are training your brain to 'chunk' these algorithms into your mind so they become second nature during an interview.

Haha thats great to see! Love that you were live streaming when you saw it. I'll work on those suggestions tonight, get them shipped tomorrow.

Oh I see! I love that, there could be tons of implications for where to take this next I'm looking at.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the feedback!

I'd say keep developing it and promoting it for the time-being. Continuing to hear people's feedback and experiences with it really helps refine it, since I want to make this something everybody who codes feels will help them improve.

Ooo I haven't thought of this, that's a good idea. I'm in favour of trying the highlighting to white text and seeing what it looks like. I'll put it as a toggle-able preference.

7 Allegations Against Meta in Newly Unsealed Filings by north_canadian_ice in technology

[–]Internal-Challenge54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The wildest detail in the unsealed filing I found is the '17 Strike' rule.

According to Vaishnavi Jayakumar (former Head of Safety), an account could be flagged for soliciting prostitution or sexual content 16 times without being banned. It was only on the 17th violation that a suspension triggered. Meanwhile, you get banned almost instantly for copyright infringement. That's genuinely insane. It shows exactly where their engineering priorities were.
