🏃‍♂️ How Shorting Works Now

Current Position: 0.5263 SOL (worth ~$102)

When AI detects bearish signals (RSI overbought, bearish divergence, resistance rejection):

1. Signal Processing: AI returns recommendation: "SELL" with 85% confidence
2. Position Check: System verifies you have 0.5263 SOL available to sell
3. Risk Calculation: Sells 2% × 85% = 1.7% of holdings = 0.0089 SOL (~$1.74)
4. Jupiter Execution: Swaps 0.0089 SOL → $1.74 USDC
5. Profit Target: Take profit if SOL drops 6% to $182.83
6. Risk Management: Stop loss if SOL rises 2% to $198.39

📊 Position Sizing Examples

BUY Order (Bullish Signal)

• Investment: $34 × 2% risk × 85% confidence = $0.58
• Token Amount: $0.58 ÷ $194.50 = 0.0030 SOL
• Direction: Spend $0.58 USDC → Get 0.0030 SOL

SELL Order (Bearish Signal)

• Holdings: 0.5263 SOL × 2% risk × 85% confidence = 0.0089 SOL
• USD Value: 0.0089 SOL × $194.50 = $1.74
• Direction: Spend 0.0089 SOL → Get $1.74 USDC
