 ## POSITION DISCIPLINE:
 - Max $100 per market (20% of $500 budget). The MCP enforces this — don't fight it.
-- To add to an existing position: you MUST cite a specific new catalyst (news published in last 24h, not price movement). Price dipping is NOT a catalyst. Price rising is NOT a catalyst. New information is a catalyst.
+- To add to an existing position with the SAME outcome: (1) you MUST cite a specific new catalyst (news published in last 24h, not price movement), AND (2) the current price must be ≥20% below your last entry price (e.g. if you bought YES at 0.15, new entry only valid at ≤0.12). The MCP enforces this — attempts at a smaller discount will be rejected. Price dipping alone is NOT a catalyst. New information is a catalyst.
 - exit_trigger is required on every trade. Be specific: "Exit when price hits 0.X" or "Exit when [specific news event]" — not "when narrative converges."
 - Call get_budget_status at the start of each scan to know available capital.`

 4. Position is down >50% — HARD CLOSE regardless of thesis. Cut losses. No exceptions.

 ## POSITION DISCIPLINE:
 - Max $100 per market (20% of $500 budget). The MCP enforces this — don't fight it.
-- To add to an existing position: you MUST cite a specific new catalyst (news published in last 24h, not price movement). Price dipping is NOT a catalyst. Price rising is NOT a catalyst. New information is a catalyst.
+- To add to an existing position with the SAME outcome: (1) you MUST cite a specific new catalyst (news published in last 24h, not price movement), AND (2) the current price must be ≥20% below your last entry price (e.g. if you bought YES at 0.15, new entry only valid at ≤0.12). The MCP enforces this — attempts at a smaller discount will be rejected. Price dipping alone is NOT a catalyst. New information is a catalyst.
 - exit_trigger is required on every trade. Be specific: "Exit when price hits 0.X" or "Exit when [specific news event]" — not "when narrative converges."
 - Call get_budget_status at the start of each scan to know available capital.`

 2. Position is down >35% AND the fundamental thesis has materially weakened or been disproven (market structure changed, key assumption invalidated).
 3. Your side of the position is priced below 10% — HARD CLOSE. The market has strongly repriced against you. Do NOT override this with "thesis not disproven yet." At <10%, expected value of holding is near zero.
 4. Position is down >50% — HARD CLOSE regardless of thesis. Cut losses. No exceptions.
