Cogdx Pre Trade Audit

Verify trading reasoning with cognitive diagnostics before executing trades. Detects logical fallacies, calibration issues, and cognitive biases in your trade thesis.

Cognitive verification layer for prediction market trades. Catches reasoning flaws before they become losses.

This is a template. The default signal is your agent's trade thesis — the skill audits the reasoning quality before execution. Remix it with stricter thresholds, additional bias checks, or custom fallacy detection. The skill handles all the plumbing (API calls, trade execution, safeguards). Your agent provides the reasoning to verify.

What it does

1. Takes your trade reasoning (thesis, confidence, market context)
2. Runs cognitive diagnostics via CogDx API
3. Returns verdict: PROCEED / REVIEW / REJECT
4. Optionally executes trade if reasoning passes

Detects

• Logical fallacies: anchoring, confirmation bias, sunk cost
• Calibration issues: overconfidence, underconfidence
• Reasoning gaps: missing evidence, circular logic

Usage

from cogdx_pre_trade_audit import audit_and_trade

result = audit_and_trade(
    market_id="0x1234...",
    side="yes",
    amount=10.0,
    reasoning="BTC ETF approval likely based on SEC meeting notes...",
    confidence=0.85,
    min_validity=0.7,  # Minimum reasoning quality to proceed
    live=False  # Dry-run by default
)

if result["approved"]:
    print(f"Trade executed: {result['trade_id']}")
else:
    print(f"Trade blocked: {result['issues']}")

Environment Variables

• SIMMER_API_KEY - Required. Your Simmer API key.
• COGDX_WALLET - Optional. Wallet address for CogDx credits.

Thresholds

Parameter	Default	Description
min_validity	0.7	Minimum reasoning quality score (0-1)
block_on_error	True	Block trade if CogDx API unavailable

Why use this

Most trading losses come from bad reasoning, not bad data. This skill catches:

• Trades based on anchoring (first number you saw)
• Confirmation bias (only seeing supporting evidence)
• Overconfidence (betting big on weak signals)

External verification you can't do yourself.
