1 token output = 5 token input (dari segi biaya)
1 token cache read = 0.1 token input (dari segi biaya)

ARTINYA:
- OUTPUT harus SINGKAT, PADAT, tanpa basa-basi
- System prompt/skills harus di-CACHE, bukan di-load ulang
- Verbose reasoning = MEMBAKAR UANG

Operasi	Est. Tokens	Est. Cost	Frekuensi
Full market scan + analysis	~8K in + ~2K out	~$0.09	4-6x/hari
Trade decision (1 market)	~4K in + ~1K out	~$0.045	3-5x/hari
Quick price check	~2K in + ~0.5K out	~$0.02	10-20x/hari
Daily reflection	~5K in + ~2K out	~$0.075	1x/hari
Weekly deep analysis	~10K in + ~5K out	~$0.175	1x/minggu
Emergency assessment	~4K in + ~1K out	~$0.045	Rare

Conservative agent: ~$0.50-1.00/hari
Active agent: ~$1.00-2.50/hari
Aggressive agent: ~$2.00-5.00/hari

DENGAN $50 STARTING CAPITAL:
- $1/hari API cost = 2% of capital PER HARI just for thinking
- Agent HARUS profit >2%/hari MINIMAL untuk cover biaya otak
- Jika profit hanya 1%/hari ($0.50) tapi API cost $1/hari → NET LOSS!

1. JANGAN ubah system prompt antar-call jika tidak perlu
   → Mengubah system prompt = cache MISS = bayar fresh input lagi
2. Keep skill content STABIL — perubahan skill = cache invalidation
3. Batch pertanyaan dalam 1 call jika bisa, bukan multiple calls
4. Jaga interval antar-call < 5 menit agar cache tidak expire
   ATAU set cache TTL = 1 jam jika frekuensi rendah

1. JANGAN output JSON yang verbose jika tidak perlu
2. Gunakan format COMPACT:
   BAD:  {"market_id": "abc123", "decision": "TRADE", "reasoning": "Based on my analysis of multiple factors including..."}
   GOOD: TRADE abc123 YES $3 edge=7% EV=0.12 conf=0.75

3. JANGAN ulangi informasi yang sudah ada di input
4. JANGAN jelaskan reasoning panjang lebar — gunakan shorthand
5. Internal monologue / chain-of-thought = MAHAL
   → Batasi reasoning ke max 200 tokens per keputusan
6. Gunakan abbreviasi standar:
   MKT=market, POS=position, SZ=size, ED=edge
   EV=expected value, CF=confidence, DD=drawdown
   SK=skip, TR=trade, RD=reduce, SL=stop loss

STATUS OK | CAP=$52.30 | POS=2 | DD=1.2% | HUNGER=PECKISH

DECISION: TRADE
MKT: will-btc-hit-100k-by-march | [email protected]
EDGE: 12% | EV: 0.15 | CF: 0.78 | SZ: $3(5.7%)
EXIT: [email protected] [email protected] TIME:7d
REASON: Strong momentum + ETF inflow data + top traders aligned

DAILY: 3 trades | W2 L1 | PnL: +$1.20 (+2.3%)
BEST: btc-100k YES win +$0.80 (edge was real)
WORST: election-poll NO loss -$0.30 (news shifted post-entry)
HUNT: 5 scanned, 3 traded, 2 skipped (correct skips)
PASSIVE: NO (active day)
TOMORROW: Focus crypto + sports, avoid politics (low edge)

Hanya digunakan 1x per minggu untuk deep analysis.
Weekly review adalah satu-satunya operasi yang boleh verbose.

Drawdown >20%, system error, atau kondisi yang membutuhkan deep reasoning.
Ini adalah satu-satunya waktu "harga tidak masalah" — survival first.

Cost: ~$0.02-0.04 per decision
Trigger: Familiar market + clear signal

Cost: ~$0.05-0.10 per decision
Trigger: New market + moderate signal

Cost: ~$0.10-0.25 per decision
Trigger: High stakes + uncertainty

1. Market scanning: Scan SEMUA market sekaligus, bukan satu per satu
   → 1 API call untuk 50 markets, bukan 50 calls untuk 50 markets

2. Position monitoring: Check SEMUA posisi aktif dalam 1 call
   → "Check all my positions" bukan "check position 1" "check position 2"

3. News assessment: Kumpulkan semua news dulu, analisa sekaligus
   → Bukan fetch 1 news → analyze → fetch next → analyze

4. Daily reflection: 1 comprehensive call, bukan multiple mini-reflections

1. Trade execution: Setiap trade butuh fresh analysis (market bisa berubah)
2. Emergency assessment: Speed matters more than cost
3. Post-loss analysis: Needs focused attention

api_budget_daily = MAX(capital * 0.02, $0.30)

Contoh dengan $50 capital:
- Budget: $1.00/hari
- Jika capital tumbuh ke $100: Budget = $2.00/hari
- Jika capital turun ke $30: Budget = $0.60/hari
- MINIMUM budget: $0.30/hari (harus bisa operasi minimal)

Setiap API call, track:
- tokens_in (input)
- tokens_out (output)
- tokens_cached (cache hits)
- estimated_cost = (tokens_in * 5 + tokens_out * 25 + tokens_cached * 0.5) / 1_000_000
- running_daily_cost += estimated_cost

IF running_daily_cost > 80% of daily_budget:
    ALERT: "Approaching API budget limit"
    → Switch to MICRO output only
    → Skip non-essential operations
    → Batch remaining work

IF running_daily_cost > 100% of daily_budget:
    → ONLY emergency operations and trade executions
    → No scanning, no reflection until tomorrow

INSTEAD OF: "Please analyze the following market and provide a detailed assessment of whether I should trade it, including probability estimation, edge calculation, risk assessment, and position sizing recommendation."

USE: "Analyze: [market_id] → Prob/Edge/Risk/Size → TRADE or SKIP"

Context shorthand untuk setiap call:
CAP:[amount] POS:[count] DD:[%] STATE:[state] HUNGER:[level]

Contoh: CAP:52.30 POS:2 DD:1.2 STATE:GROWTH HUNGER:PECKISH
→ Ini menggantikan paragraf penjelasan tentang current state

INSTEAD OF: Copying full market data into every call
USE: "Re: market abc123 (data from last scan)" 
→ Agent ingat dari context sebelumnya, tidak perlu re-state

Step 1: Quick screen (5 detik thinking) → SKIP or MAYBE
Step 2: IF MAYBE → Standard analysis → SKIP or TRADE
Step 3: IF TRADE and big position → Deep verification

Kebanyakan market di-SKIP di Step 1 → hemat 80% tokens

WAJIB maintain:
  trading_profit / api_cost > 2.0 (minimum)
  trading_profit / api_cost > 5.0 (target)
  trading_profit / api_cost > 10.0 (excellent)

Artinya: Setiap $1 yang dihabiskan untuk "berpikir" harus menghasilkan minimal $2 profit.

total_api_cost_this_week = sum(daily_costs)
total_trading_profit = sum(trade_profits) - sum(trade_losses) - sum(fees)
net_profit = total_trading_profit - total_api_cost_this_week
cost_efficiency = total_trading_profit / total_api_cost_this_week

IF cost_efficiency < 1.0:
    CRITICAL: "Agent is LOSING MONEY on thinking costs alone!"
    → Drastically reduce scan frequency
    → Use MICRO output only
    → Only trade highest-conviction opportunities

IF cost_efficiency < 2.0:
    WARNING: "Thinking costs eating too much profit"
    → Reduce to essential operations only
    → Batch more aggressively
    → Skip daily reflection, do weekly only

IF cost_efficiency > 5.0:
    GOOD: "Efficient thinking"
    → Maintain current approach

1. Switch ALL output to Tier 1 MICRO format
2. Stop market scanning — only monitor existing positions
3. No new trades unless edge > 15% (obvious)
4. Skip all non-essential reflection
5. Batch everything into 1-2 calls per day
6. Estimate tokens BEFORE each call — cancel if too expensive

API_DAILY: cost=$0.45 budget=$1.00 remaining=$0.55 calls=12
EFFICIENCY: profit=$1.80 ratio=4.0x status=GOOD
CACHE: hit_rate=85% savings=$0.32
ACTION: Continue normal operations
