# The Neural Engine

Monika's decision-making process is driven by a hybrid "Brain & Hands" architecture designed to minimize latency while maximizing security.

#### The Brain (Pattern Recognition)

Running on a dedicated cloud container, the Neural Engine continuously processes market data for key assets (MON, BTC, ETH) using a multi-layered scoring system.

**1. The AI Confidence Score Calculation**

Monika does not rely on a single indicator. Instead, she generates a composite **Confidence Score (0-100)** based on a weighted algorithm:

$$
\text{Score} = (W\_{knn} \cdot C\_{fractal}) + (W\_{tech} \cdot S\_{technical}) + (W\_{macro} \cdot M\_{trend})
$$

* **Fractal Matching (60% Weight):** The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm compares the current 1-hour candle structure against 10,000 historical scenarios. If 80% of similar historical patterns resulted in a pump, the raw fractal score is 80.
* **RSI Momentum (20% Weight):**
  * **Bullish:** RSI > 50 and rising (Adds points).
  * **Overbought Penalty:** RSI > 75 (Subtracts points to prevent buying tops).
* **Macro Trend (20% Weight):** Checks the D1 (Daily) timeframe for major support/resistance validity.

**2. Golden Cross Detection (The "Alpha" Signal)**

Monika includes a dedicated **Golden Cross** detector acting as a "Super-Signal."

* **Definition:** When the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) crosses *above* the 200-period SMA on the H4 or D1 timeframe.
* **System Response:**
  1. **Override:** A confirmed Golden Cross automatically sets the "Macro Trend" score to maximum.
  2. **Aggression Mode:** The engine reduces the RSI cooldown period, allowing for more aggressive entries during the confirmed uptrend.
  3. **Visualizer:** The terminal's "Market Structure" panel lights up **GOLD** to indicate this rare, high-probability event.

**3. The Trend Shield (Risk Management)**

To prevent counter-trend trading during crashes, a dynamic filter is applied before any score is finalized:

* **Bearish Shield:** If Price < EMA 200 (Exponential Moving Average) on the 4H chart, all "BUY" scores are dampened by 50%.
* **Volatility Guard:** If Bollinger Band width expands > 300% in 1 hour (flash crash event), trading is paused until volatility normalizes.

#### The Hands (Execution Layer)

Once the Brain generates a signal (Score > 75), the **Smart Routing Engine** takes over:

1. **Polls Monad RPCs** to check gas costs and slippage.
2. **Calculates Optimal Path:** Checks liquidity depth across PancakeSwap V3 and Uniswap V3.
3. **Auto-Routing:** If direct MON/USDC liquidity is low, it automatically constructs a multi-hop route (e.g., MON -> WETH -> USDC).
