A losing streak can teach you more about a trading system than a winning one. I kept a Paper Trading session running longer than usual on @agenticscredit last night, and eventually hit a losing streak. That's when the consecutive-loss cooldown kicked in, temporarily blocking new entries. What surprised me was that the same risk-control mechanism used on the Credit side also applies to Paper Trading. I initially thought paper mode would be more flexible, but apparently, the system still wants you to respect its risk limits instead of endlessly chasing losses. I also checked the Agents page and noticed how the cooldown works alongside other safeguards like trailing stops and drawdown limits. That changes how I look at Paper Trading. It's not just a place to experiment with strategies. It's also a way to get familiar with the risk management rules before putting actual capital on the line. One thing I'm still curious about: Does the consecutive-loss cooldown change once you have an active Credit Line, or does @agenticscredit apply the same cooldown rules across both modes? Would be interesting to hear from anyone who's already tested this.
