Drawdown Decision Checklist

Beginner

Helps turn a portfolio drawdown into a calm decision process: hold, rebalance, reduce risk, or do nothing.

ID 362
Create a simple checklist for deciding whether to hold, rebalance, reduce risk, or do nothing during a portfolio drawdown. Include emotional mistakes to avoid, data to check, and a final action rule.

Cash Deployment Rules

Beginner

A practical beginner prompt for deciding when to wait, rebalance, dollar-cost average, or keep cash during volatile markets.

ID 363
Create rules for deploying cash during a volatile market. Include when to wait, when to dollar-cost average, when to rebalance, and how to avoid using fear or FOMO as the decision trigger.

Behavioral Risk Audit

Beginner

Useful when the biggest risk is overreacting. The prompt asks questions that separate a plan from fear, pressure, or impulse.

ID 364
Ask me 10 questions to identify whether my reaction to market volatility is driven by my plan, my time horizon, or emotional pressure. Then summarize the risk of overtrading in plain language.

Allocation Drift Review

Medium

Checks whether market moves pushed the portfolio away from its target allocation and whether that drift changes concentration risk.

ID 365
Act as a portfolio analyst. Compare my target allocation with my current allocation after recent market moves. Flag large drifts, explain whether they increase concentration risk, and suggest rebalancing options with pros and cons.

Volatility Scenario Matrix

Medium

Builds a three-scenario matrix so the user can compare possible market paths without pretending to predict the future.

ID 366
Build a scenario matrix for my portfolio under three conditions: volatility fades, volatility stays elevated, and volatility becomes a deeper market selloff. For each scenario, list portfolio risks, signals to watch, and possible actions.

Risk Budget Reset

Medium

Turns vague risk tolerance into measurable limits for drawdown, cash, concentration, rebalancing, and add/reduce risk triggers.

ID 367
Help me define a risk budget for the next 90 days. Include max acceptable drawdown, cash reserve level, concentration limits, rebalancing bands, and conditions that would make me reduce or add risk.

Macro Signal Summary

Medium

Summarizes the macro signals most relevant to portfolio risk, with emphasis on interpretation instead of short-term prediction.

ID 368
Summarize the macro signals most relevant to portfolio risk right now: interest rates, inflation, credit spreads, liquidity, currency moves, and market breadth. Explain what each signal could mean without making a prediction.

ETF Stress Test

Medium

Reviews ETF overlap, concentration, duration, currency, and liquidity risks that can become more visible during volatile markets.

ID 369
Act as an ETF portfolio analyst. Stress-test my ETF mix for overlapping holdings, sector concentration, duration risk, currency exposure, and liquidity risk during volatile markets. Return the biggest vulnerabilities first.

Post-Volatility Review

Medium

Creates a structured after-action review so the user can improve their allocation, process, and discipline after a volatile period.

ID 370
After a volatile market period, help me review what worked, what failed, and what to improve. Include allocation, risk limits, cash policy, research process, and emotional discipline. End with a concise improvement plan.

Hedge Or Not Decision Guide

Pro

Compares hedging choices, costs, timing risk, and failure modes for users who are considering more advanced risk actions.

ID 371
Act as a risk strategist. Help me decide whether hedging makes sense for my portfolio. Compare cash, bonds, inverse ETFs, options, position sizing, and doing nothing. Include costs, timing risk, and when a hedge can make outcomes worse.

Regime Break Detector

Pro

A pro-level framework for checking whether volatility is normal correction behavior or evidence of a deeper market regime shift.

ID 372
Create a framework for detecting whether recent volatility is a normal correction or a possible market regime break. Use indicators, correlations, breadth, liquidity, credit conditions, and earnings expectations. Explain what evidence would change the conclusion.
