BloFin Risk Manager

Comprehensive risk management skill for BloFin trading. Helps users size positions correctly, monitor liquidation risk, assess portfolio exposure, and maintain disciplined trading.

Risk Analysis Workflows

1. Pre-Trade Risk Assessment

Before any trade, evaluate the risk:

1. Get account balance via get_balance — available equity
2. Get instrument specs via get_instruments — contract value, max leverage
3. Get current price via get_tickers
4. Get existing positions via get_positions — current exposure
5. Calculate and present:

Pre-Trade Risk Assessment
=========================
Instrument: BTC-USDT
Account Equity: $X,XXX
Available Margin: $X,XXX
Current Price: $XX,XXX

Proposed Trade:
- Side: Long
- Size: XX contracts
- Leverage: XXx
- Notional Value: $X,XXX
- Required Margin: $X,XXX
- Margin Usage After Trade: XX%

Risk Metrics:
- Estimated Liquidation Price: $XX,XXX
- Distance to Liquidation: XX%
- Max Loss (to liquidation): $X,XXX
- Risk per Account: XX% of equity

⚠️ Warning: [if margin usage > 50% or risk > 5% of equity]

Example prompts:

• "Should I open a 10x BTC long with 100 contracts?"
• "What's the risk if I short ETH with 5x leverage?"
• "How much can I lose on this trade?"

2. Position Sizing Calculator

Calculate optimal position size based on risk tolerance:

Use this formula:
Max Position Size = (Account Equity * Risk%) / (Entry Price * Contract Value * (1/Leverage))

Where Risk% is the maximum percentage of equity to risk (default 2%).

Steps:

1. Ask user for risk tolerance (default: 2% of equity per trade)
2. Get account equity from get_balance
3. Get contract specs from get_instruments
4. Get current price from get_tickers
5. Calculate recommended position size at different leverage levels

Present as a table:

Leverage	Position Size	Notional	Required Margin	Liquidation Distance
5x	XX contracts	$X,XXX	$XXX	XX%
10x	XX contracts	$X,XXX	$XXX	XX%
20x	XX contracts	$X,XXX	$XXX	XX%

Example prompts:

• "How many BTC contracts should I buy?"
• "Calculate position size for 2% risk on ETH"
• "What's a safe position size for SOL-USDT?"

---

3. Liquidation Monitoring

Monitor liquidation risk for all open positions:

1. Get all positions via get_positions

2. Get mark prices via get_mark_price for each position

3. For each position, calculate:

   • Distance to liquidation: |markPrice - liquidationPrice| / markPrice * 100%
   • Unrealized PnL and PnL ratio
   • Effective leverage (notional value / margin)

4. Risk classification:

Distance to Liquidation	Risk Level	Action
> 30%	Low	Normal monitoring
15% - 30%	Medium	Consider reducing position or adding margin
5% - 15%	High	Strongly recommend reducing position
< 5%	Critical	Immediate action required — reduce or close

Example prompts:

• "Am I at risk of liquidation?"
• "Check my liquidation distances"
• "Which positions are most dangerous?"

---

4. Portfolio Exposure Analysis

Evaluate overall portfolio risk:

1. Get all positions via get_positions
2. Get account balance via get_balance
3. Calculate:
   • Total notional exposure (sum of all position notional values)
   • Net exposure (long notional - short notional)
   • Gross leverage (total notional / equity)
   • Directional bias (net long vs net short)
   • Concentration risk (% of exposure in single instrument)

Present:

Portfolio Exposure Report
=========================
Total Equity: $X,XXX
Total Notional: $XX,XXX
Gross Leverage: X.Xx
Net Exposure: $X,XXX (long/short biased)

Position Breakdown:
| Instrument | Side | Notional | % of Total | Leverage |
|------------|------|----------|-----------|----------|

Concentration: XX% in [top instrument] ⚠️ (>30% = concentrated)

Example prompts:

• "What's my total exposure?"
• "Am I too concentrated in BTC?"
• "Show my portfolio risk breakdown"

---

5. Leverage Safety Check

Evaluate whether current leverage settings are appropriate:

1. Get leverage info via get_leverage_info for each held instrument
2. Compare against:
   • Account size (smaller accounts should use lower leverage)
   • Market volatility (high volatility = lower leverage recommended)
   • Number of open positions (more positions = lower per-position leverage)

General leverage guidelines:

Account Size	Recommended Max Leverage	Rationale
< $1,000	5x	Limited margin buffer
$1,000 - $10,000	10x	Moderate buffer
$10,000 - $100,000	20x	Experienced trader range
> $100,000	Per strategy	Professional risk management

Example prompts:

• "Is my leverage too high?"
• "What leverage should I use for a $5,000 account?"
• "Review my leverage settings"

Risk Management Rules

1. Never encourage excessive risk — if a user wants 100x leverage on their full balance, advise against it clearly
2. Default risk per trade: 1-2% of account equity
3. Always show liquidation price when discussing leveraged positions
4. Warn about correlation risk — multiple positions in similar assets (e.g., BTC + ETH) are correlated
5. Recommend stop losses for every position
6. Account for fees — they reduce margin and affect liquidation price
7. Cross margin warning — in cross mode, one liquidation can cascade to affect all positions
