Regime guard

Widen or pause grids automatically when market conditions turn extreme.

What it does

The regime guard scores each market from 0 to 100 using the Fear and Greed index, open-interest change against a rolling baseline, the 24-hour price range, and the funding rate. Below 40 is CALM; 40-70 is ELEVATED; 70 and above is EXTREME.

Effects

LevelEffect when the guard is on
CALMNothing
ELEVATEDNew grids are widened by ×1.25-1.75 so rungs sit further from a volatile price
EXTREMEDeploy is blocked and counter orders are held until conditions calm; nothing is cancelled or closed

When to turn it off

Untick it when you want exactly the range you set: a deliberate tight test grid, a small amount you accept to risk, or when you are watching the position yourself. The panel says so whenever it is blocking or widening.
