Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

panic-flatten scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

PANIC FLATTEN

This is the kill switch. It closes every open position in the OpenTradex harness immediately, regardless of mode.

Confirmation required

Before you run the POST, ask the user one short confirmation in chat:

⚠️ PANIC will flatten all open positions at market. Type yes flatten to confirm.

Only proceed if their next message is literally yes flatten (case-insensitive).

Execute

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3210/api/panic --max-time 10 | jq .

Report

  • Number of positions closed.
  • Total realized P&L from the flatten.
  • Halted state after (the gateway enforces a 10-second cooldown).

Why this exists

Every trader needs a single button they can hit when something's wrong — a stuck position, a news shock, a risk they didn't price in. This is that button. It is not a trading strategy.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
