# Autonomous Trading

Some of what Sorin does doesn't need you in the loop for every decision. Autonomous agent mode lets Sorin monitor markets, enforce rules you've set, and take pre-authorized actions — without you needing to be at the keyboard.

## What Autonomous Mode Does

* Watches your portfolio and the market continuously
* Enforces rules and guardrails you define
* Executes pre-authorized actions when triggers fire
* Flags everything it does for review so you stay in control

## Who It's For

* Traders managing strategies that require around-the-clock attention
* Investors who want automated rebalancing, hedging, or risk management
* Users running systematic strategies that benefit from rule-based execution
* Anyone who wants Sorin's intelligence to keep working overnight

## What You Can Automate

### Rule-Based Actions

Define rules in plain language. Examples:

* "Trim any single position that exceeds 20% of my portfolio."
* "Close my perps leg if funding flips and stays negative for 8 hours."
* "Rebalance weekly back to my target weights, within a 2% band."
* "If BTC drops more than 10% in 24 hours, hedge 50% of my crypto beta."

### Conditional Execution

Set up conditional orders that wait for market triggers:

* Price-based — scale in or out at specified levels
* Funding-based — open or close based on perps funding conditions
* Spread-based — enter pair trades when correlations decouple
* Event-based — act on governance outcomes, prediction market resolutions, or scheduled releases

### Monitoring and Reporting

Even when it's not executing, Sorin is watching — and summarizing. You can configure Sorin to send you a daily or weekly wrap-up of what happened, what rules triggered, and what the portfolio looks like now.

## Guardrails Come First

Autonomous mode is powered by the same intelligence as the standalone app, but with **guardrails and approvals tuned to your comfort level**.

You decide:

* Which actions can execute without per-trade confirmation
* Which actions always require confirmation (even if a rule triggered)
* Maximum size, maximum frequency, and total exposure limits
* Which assets, venues, or markets are in scope

{% hint style="warning" %}
Sorin will never execute anything outside the explicit rules and limits you've set. Autonomous mode expands Sorin's ability to act — it doesn't expand its authority.
{% endhint %}

## Example: An Automated Hedge

**Your setup:**

* Rule: "If my crypto exposure exceeds 65% of portfolio, hedge the excess with BTC short perps."
* Size limit: Hedge notional cannot exceed 25% of portfolio.
* Confirmation: Auto-execute if hedge is smaller than 10% of portfolio, otherwise ask first.

**What happens:**

A rally pushes your crypto exposure to 68%. Sorin calculates that hedging the excess requires a 3% notional short. That's below your auto-execute threshold, so Sorin:

1. Opens the hedge at current mid
2. Logs the action in your chat with full context
3. Monitors the hedge and adjusts if your crypto exposure changes

You see the log the next time you open Sorin. If you disagree, you close it with one message.

## The Sorin Skill: Autonomous Agents Beyond Sorin

Autonomous mode lets Sorin act on your portfolio. The **Sorin Skill** is a related capability that gives **other agents** access to the same intelligence layer — letting builders compose Sorin's market intelligence into their own autonomous systems.
