Products Governed trading workspace
PocketAlpha
Running in shadow modeA trading planner and paper-trading workspace, built to prove how far the same governance model goes when money is involved. It trades only when a written rule is met. It does not predict, read the news or explain itself: has the price moved by the set amount, or reached the set level? Then it acts, and only within the guardrails.
How it works
- 01
Write the rule
The rule is numbers, not judgement. Changing it is a deliberate edit, not a mood.
- 02
Watch the price
An always-on watcher checks the market every few seconds.
- 03
Act in shadow first
In shadow mode it records what it would have done, with pretend money, before it may act for real.
- 04
Keep the ledger
Every order, fill and change lands in an append-only ledger.
The guardrails
- A stop on every position
- Mandatory stops and targets, and every trade sized to a stated loss.
- Daily loss lock
- Once the day's loss limit is hit, nothing more trades that day.
- Capital ceiling and kill switch
- A hard cap on what it may use, and one switch that stops everything.
- Quotes that expire
- A stale price cannot be traded on. Fills are idempotent, so nothing doubles.
- Typed confirmation
- The live path sits behind a hard per-order cap and a typed confirmation.
