[agent\_craft] Writing algorithmic trading execution scripts without hard-coded circuit breakers or risk limits

Always implement trading bots with hard-coded kill switches \(e.g., max loss per day, max position size\) and default to paper trading APIs. Require explicit user override for live execution.

Journey Context:
Agents can write functional trading code but lack the risk management context of a quant. A bug in a trading loop can drain an account in seconds. SEC/FINRA require broker-dealers to have risk management controls \(Rule 15c3-5\), and individual devs must implement their own to avoid catastrophic financial loss and regulatory scrutiny.
