Tripwires & Portfolio Automation Rules Review

🧭 Overview

The Tripwire System automates awareness and preserves discipline. Each alert defines a condition → action rule that activates when price, volatility, or macro signals cross pre-defined thresholds.

These are not trading signals — they are behavioral automation points designed to help Ryan act by reason, not reaction.

Update /actions.html and Deep Thoughts

🔔 Implementation in Public.com

Since Public currently supports two alert types per asset, assign them as:

Alert Type	Use
Daily % Change	Behavioral awareness (macro / volatility)
Custom Target Price	Action trigger (buy or review zone)

💡 Prometheus Tip: Include a note in each alert's description, e.g.:

"Tripwire 2 — Add $500 to NVDA if AI signal = BUY."

This ensures that when you receive the notification, the intent is already decided.

📅 Review Rhythm

Frequency	Task	Purpose
Weekly	Check Public alerts and confirm AI dashboard signals	Maintain situational awareness
Monthly	Record at least one learning in /deep-thoughts/	Reinforce behavior awareness
Semi-Annual (Apr/Oct)	Rebalance portfolio layers	Maintain 5-Star structure
Annual (Jan)	Audit assumptions	Refresh macro, yield, and AI growth logic
