Order Execution & Automation Disclosure
Last updated: 15 August 2026
VANTIQX can place real orders on your connected broker account, in one of two ways you choose. In Manual mode — the default — nothing is sent until you confirm each individual order at the volume you choose. In Autopilot mode — off until you switch it on — the VANTIQX server places orders automatically toward a trading goal you set. Autopilot runs only after your explicit, recorded consent, and you can stop it at any time with an instant halt.
VANTIQX is not a broker and never holds your funds. Your broker executes and custodies everything. Trading is high-risk, no profit is guaranteed, and you can lose money — up to your full account balance.
VANTIQX can place orders on a connected broker account in two ways: Manual, where you confirm every order yourself, and Autopilot, an opt-in mode in which the VANTIQX server trades automatically toward a goal you set — only after your explicit, recorded consent, and only until you stop it. This page explains exactly how both work.
1. Two execution modes
| Mode | What happens | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | You review a trade in the app, choose your own volume, and confirm. Only then is the order submitted to your broker. Every order requires your confirmation. | The default for every account |
| Autopilot | After you give explicit, recorded consent and switch the account to Autopilot, the VANTIQX server analyses the market and places orders automatically toward a trading goal you set — within hard limits enforced in code, and only until you stop it. | Off until you turn it on |
Accounts can also run without execution at all: read-only tracking shows your balance, equity, positions and history, and simulated paper trading places no real orders. Signals and AI analyses on their own never place anything — only your Manual confirmation, or an Autopilot instruction you armed, does.
In Manual mode, when you confirm an order the app submits it to your broker through MetaApi with the volume, stop loss and take profit you saw on the confirmation. Server-side checks — instrument allow-lists, maximum lot size, and the daily trade and loss limits you configure — run before every submission, and an order that fails any of them is refused, not adjusted.
2. How Autopilot works
- Consent. You complete a dedicated consent flow. Your consent is recorded together with the version of the terms you agreed to (current version: 2026-08-15.v2). Without it, Autopilot cannot be switched on.
- Arming. You set the account's trading mode to Autopilot and attach it to a goal you define — target, risk per trade, daily limits. Consent and the mode switch are both required; revoking either stops Autopilot.
- Server engine. While armed, the VANTIQX server — not your phone — watches the market. Closing the app does not stop Autopilot; the halt button does.
- Decisions. VANTIQX's automated decision engine decides what to trade, when, and at what size, working toward your goal. The engine is powered by frontier AI models from Anthropic, with automatic failover between models so a model outage never leaves the engine blind.
- Guarded execution. Every order passes the safeguard checks below before it is sent. An order that fails any check is refused, not adjusted.
- Audit trail. Every order — and every refusal — is recorded in an audit log you can see in the app.
- Notifications. You are notified of every order Autopilot places.
3. Autopilot safeguards
These limits are enforced in code before any order is sent — not left to the AI model's judgment:
- A per-trade risk ceiling: no single trade may risk more than 5% of the account balance.
- The risk-per-trade percentage and daily trade limits you set yourself.
- Platform lot-size ceilings.
- Maximum open positions, maximum exposure, and daily-loss limits.
- A protective equity floor — by default 50% of the goal's starting balance — that switches Autopilot off automatically if reached.
- Daily trade quotas per subscription tier.
- A global emergency stop that halts all automated trading platform-wide.
These safeguards reduce risk. They do not remove it.
4. What can go wrong
- The engine can be wrong. VANTIQX's automated decision engine can misjudge the market, and a run of losing trades is entirely possible. Because Autopilot acts without waiting for you, it can lose money faster than manual trading.
- Slippage and gaps. Fills can be far from the expected price, especially around news or at market open — for manual and automated orders alike.
- Outages. If our servers, MetaApi or your broker are unavailable, an order may not be placed, a position may not be closed when the engine intends, or a stop may not be modified.
- Broker rejections. Your broker can reject, requote or partially fill any order, and controls execution price, spread, swap and margin — not VANTIQX.
- Goals are not promises. A goal is a plan you set, not a forecast. Many goals will not be reached, and no profit is guaranteed.
5. Your controls
- Revoke your Autopilot consent at any time — Autopilot stops.
- Switch any goal's Autopilot off individually.
- Change the account's trading mode back to Manual at any time.
- Use the halt button — it stops all automated activity instantly.
- Set your own risk %, daily trade limits and equity floor; the floor switches Autopilot off automatically.
- In Manual mode, nothing is ever sent without your confirmation.
- Disconnect the broker account entirely.
6. Strong recommendations
- Try Autopilot on a demo account before a real one.
- Start with a small goal and conservative limits, and keep — or raise — the default equity floor.
- Read the audit log and your notifications. They exist so you can check every decision.
- Check your broker terminal directly and regularly. It, not the app, is the record of truth.
7. Responsibility
Autopilot is a software tool executing your own standing instruction, on your account, at your broker, within limits you accepted. It is not discretionary account management: VANTIQX is not a broker, never holds your funds, and is not a licensed asset manager or financial adviser. Orders you confirm in Manual mode, and orders placed under an Autopilot instruction you armed, are your responsibility — including losses, up to the full balance of the account.
8. Availability
Execution features — Autopilot in particular — may be unavailable or disabled for particular countries, brokers, account types or users, at our discretion or where required by law or by our providers. Where they are unavailable, tracking and analysis features continue to work.
