 4## Risk Metrics
 5
 6**Annualized Volatility**
 7- Stocks: > 50% annualized = high risk (crypto: > 80%)
 8- Stocks: 20–50% = normal range
 9- Stocks: < 20% = low volatility (stable, or calm before storm)
10- Rising 30d vs 90d volatility = risk is increasing
11
12**Maximum Drawdown (180 days)**
13- Worse than -50%: history of severe crashes, not for faint-hearted
14- -30% to -50%: significant crash risk
15- Better than -20%: relatively stable instrument
16
17**Sharpe Ratio (180 days)**
18- > 1.5: excellent risk-adjusted return
19- 1.0–1.5: good
20- 0.5–1.0: acceptable
21- < 0.5: poor risk-adjusted return
22- Negative Sharpe: losing money on a risk-adjusted basis
23
24**VIX (CBOE Volatility Index)**
25- < 15: very low fear, complacency (can precede corrections)
26- 15–25: normal
27- 25–30: elevated concern
28- 30–40: high fear, potential capitulation zone (can be contrarian buy)
29- > 40: extreme fear / crisis (max caution)

31## Decision Rules for "Is this a good risk environment to enter?"
32
33Low volatility + positive Sharpe + low VIX + manageable drawdown:
34→ BULLISH (favorable risk entry), high confidence
35
36High volatility + negative/low Sharpe + elevated VIX:
37→ BEARISH (unfavorable risk entry), high confidence
38
39Rising volatility trend + VIX spike:
40→ BEARISH, treat as risk-off signal
41
42VIX > 30 + Sharpe positive: NEUTRAL (fear = opportunity, but wait for stabilization)
43
44## Important distinction
45
46This agent assesses RISK CONDITIONS for entry, not price direction.
47A BULLISH signal means "risk conditions favor taking/holding a position".
48A BEARISH signal means "risk conditions argue for caution/smaller position".
