Explainable AI

Every trade explained in plain language. No black boxes.

What is Trade Explainability?

Every trade the bot makes (or decides NOT to make) is accompanied by a human-readable explanation generated by an LLM. The explanation includes:

  • Why this trade: which sleeve generated the signal, what technical condition triggered it
  • Risk assessment: what the VaR check showed, what sentiment said, what microstructure indicated
  • Sizing rationale: why this size (vol-target, Kelly fraction, position cap)
  • Gates passed/failed: which of the 6+ risk gates this trade passed through
  • AI overlay score: the ensemble confidence and whether it scaled the position

Example: *"BUY 0.15 ETH via EMA-CROSS-ETH sleeve. Signal: 12/26 EMA bullish crossover confirmed 2 bars ago. Regime: ON (BTC > 200d EMA). Sentiment: NEUTRAL (Galaxy Score 62). VaR check: portfolio VaR at 8.3% (below 15% cap). Size: vol-targeted to 1.6% daily vol contribution. Meta-Learner weight: 22% (up from 18% baseline — recent wins)."*

Where to see explanations

  • /dashboard → Recent orders — every row has an "Explain" button
  • Telegram alerts — if you have order alerts enabled, each fill message includes the explanation

Explanations are generated asynchronously (they don't slow down execution) and stored in the trade_explanations table.

AI Weekly Report

Every week, the AI generates a personalized performance report:

  • Performance summary: return %, alpha vs BTC buy-and-hold, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown
  • AI activity: how many times the Meta-Learner adjusted weights, sentiment shield blocked entries, VaR gate triggered
  • Risk events: any circuit breaker activations, DD brake engagements
  • What-if analysis: "if you had chosen a different Risk Level, here's what would have happened"
  • Proactive suggestions: based on your behavior patterns and market conditions
