About
Built around the part
everyone leaves until last.
Vectorhelm is trading automation that checks your risk limits before every order — not after. Most tools work the other way around, and you only notice on the day it matters.
Why this exists
Almost every system adds risk management last.
The strategy is the interesting part, so it gets built first — and the limits end up checked after the order has gone, or once when a strategy starts and never again.
Those systems work until the day they don’t.
Correlated positions that each pass their own limit and together breach the account. A stop that lived in the strategy rather than at the broker, and vanished with the connection.
We built it the other way around.
Your limits come first and the strategy runs behind them. An order that would break a limit you set is blocked, and you can see exactly why.
Manual orders pass the same checks as automated ones. A second set of rules is not a control.
We are pre-launch and say so on every page. There is no product to buy today, no user count to quote and no testimonials — inventing any of those in a finance category is a trust problem that surfaces later, and it is not worth what it buys.
Four promises we won’t break.
Decisions we’ve made and won’t revisit. Hold us to them.
- Never gated
Risk limits are never an upgrade
Daily loss, drawdown, max open positions and max trades per day are on every plan, including the trial. We’ll never charge extra for the protection that saves your account.
- Pre-trade
Limits are checked before the order
A limit checked after the order is just a report. Every limit is checked before an order is sent, and an order that would break one is blocked, not just logged.
- No black box
You can read what it will do
Strategies are plain conditions you can read line by line. Nothing is hidden, because you can’t trust what you can’t read.
- Non-custodial
We never hold funds
Your money stays in the account you already have. Connections use trading-only keys, and your funds never move through us.
