What it checks
- Beats the hurdle? Net APY must clear the hurdle rate (default ~12% fiat-equivalent, ~5.5% crypto-only). Below it → ROTATE or EXIT.
- Spread still positive? Multiply earns the spread between collateral yield and borrow cost. If the spread inverts, the position bleeds → DELEVERAGE / EXIT.
- Buffer vs downside. The liquidation buffer is compared to a predicted downside derived from the market-temperature read:
| Market temp | Predicted downside |
|---|---|
| risk-off (≤ −0.25) | ~15% |
| cool (≤ −0.08) | ~8% |
| neutral / warm / risk-on | none |
