SECTION 1 — What TradeExecutor.ai Is (and Is Not)

What is TradeExecutor.ai?

TradeExecutor.ai is a rules-based automated trading platform. You connect your own brokerage account via that broker's secure OAuth flow — there is nothing to install and no trading platform to run. Once automation is enabled, trades execute on your account through your broker's own API, consistently according to predefined rules — without requiring you to be present.

TradeExecutor.ai operates only with your explicit permission. You can override trades, disable automation, or close positions manually at any time.

It is designed to execute your decisions consistently — not to make decisions for you.

Is this a signal service, alert system, or advisory product?

No.

TradeExecutor.ai does not provide signals, alerts, predictions, recommendations, or discretionary guidance. It does not tell you what to trade.

It executes predefined strategy logic only after you choose the stock symbols and enable automation.

Can I test TradeExecutor.ai before trading live?

Yes.

The Monitor plan is free to start: connect your brokerage account and watch the strategy's behavior against your own real account before you ever authorize a live trade. This is strongly recommended so you can become comfortable with the system before enabling execution.

What do I get with a subscription?

TradeExecutor.ai is a monthly subscription with several tiers — a free tier to create an account and monitor, and paid tiers that unlock live execution at increasing capacity. Every tier uses the same rules-based execution engine; what changes between tiers is how many symbols you can monitor and execute.

Current tier names, capacity, and pricing are kept on the pricing page rather than duplicated here, so this answer never goes stale — see tradeexecutor.ai/pricing.

Support is included on every tier to help with brokerage connection and configuration.

SECTION 2 — Who This Is (and Is Not) For

Who is TradeExecutor.ai designed for?

TradeExecutor.ai is designed for self-directed traders who:

  • Prefer rules-based strategies
  • Value consistent execution
  • Want fewer execution decisions, not more
  • Care about control, transparency, and repeatability

Automation aids discipline but cannot replace judgment.

Can beginners use TradeExecutor.ai?

Yes.

No special trading-platform knowledge, programming, or advanced technical knowledge is required — just a brokerage account. New users are encouraged to begin on the free Monitor plan to understand TradeExecutor.ai's behavior before enabling live execution.

Is this suitable for part-time traders?

Yes. TradeExecutor.ai runs on our infrastructure, not your computer — automation continues according to predefined rules while you're away from the screen, as long as your subscription is active and your brokerage connection is authorized.

Can I automate some symbols and trade others manually?

Yes. Automation permissions are granted per symbol, up to your plan's execution capacity. Manual and automated trading can coexist in the same brokerage account.

Which markets and trades does TradeExecutor.ai support?

TradeExecutor.ai can be applied to equities, ETFs, and futures, depending on what your connected broker supports.

TradeExecutor.ai supports long trades only, not short selling or options trading.

Who should not use TradeExecutor.ai?

TradeExecutor.ai is not intended for traders who:

  • Want predictions or alerts
  • Expect constant trade activity
  • Prefer discretionary execution on every trade
  • Seek managed accounts or guaranteed outcomes

Professionals choose automation when discipline matters more than impulse.

SECTION 3 — Automation Functionality & Strategy Control

How does a trade get placed?

You select the symbols you want to trade and explicitly enable automation per symbol.

Once enabled, TradeExecutor.ai continuously evaluates predefined conditions on our infrastructure and places trades automatically, through your broker's API, when those conditions are met. If conditions are not met, no trades occur.

Inactivity is normal and expected.

What does “enabled” actually mean?

“Enabled” refers to the execution authority level your plan provides:

  • View-only (Monitor plan) — Shows where trades would occur; no orders are placed
  • Full automation (Execute plans) — Executes entries and exits automatically on your connected brokerage account

Manual intervention always takes precedence.

Does my computer need to be on?

No. TradeExecutor.ai runs on our infrastructure, not your device — there is nothing to install and nothing that needs to stay running locally. Execution only requires your subscription to be active and your brokerage connection to be authorized.

What tells TradeExecutor.ai when to enter and exit a trade?

Trades are triggered by predefined rules built into the strategy. Entries, exits, position additions, and partial exits are all rule-based. No discretionary decisions are made during execution.

The strategy logic incorporates multiple interacting conditions governing trade qualification, risk behavior, position management, and exits. These rules are deterministic and evaluated consistently on every bar.

How is position size determined?

Position sizing is user-defined.

Configuring position size is a critical step in enabling automation. You must explicitly tell the strategy how much capital to allocate when trading a specific symbol. The strategy will not assume or infer this for you.

Once defined, position sizing is managed automatically during execution according to your preset rules.

The strategy supports:

  • Fixed position sizing
  • Percentage-based position sizing
  • Transitioning between sizing models, where the strategy can switch back and forth based on your configuration settings, with the primary trigger for the switch being your account balance.

Position sizing always remains within the limits you define.

Can exit plans be defined at the time of entry?

Yes, subject to your broker's own order-duration rules.

Automated entry and exit orders placed by the strategy follow your connected broker's standard day-order behavior and expire at the end of the trading session unless your broker supports otherwise.

If an automated order expires, the strategy continues evaluating conditions on subsequent bars.

You may manually place or modify orders at any time through your broker directly. By doing so, you are stepping outside automated execution and taking direct control of the position.

Can I stop or override automation at any time? Is there a PANIC STOP?

Yes — absolutely.

You can disable automation per symbol, or pause execution entirely, from your account at any time.

Pausing execution halts all automated activity. No new positions will be opened, but existing positions will remain open in your brokerage account.

To fully exit all open positions, close them directly with your broker — that's your account, not ours.

What happens if I disable automation while a trade is open?

Disabling automation prevents any new automated actions for the specific symbol.

Once disabled, all activity for that symbol is under your control. You are stepping outside the predefined strategy rules and managing the position manually with your broker.

Can automation restart on its own?

No. If your brokerage connection is interrupted, you are explicitly prompted to reauthorize before automation resumes. Nothing resumes without your permission.

SECTION 4 — Risk, Market Conditions & Failure Scenarios

Does TradeExecutor.ai remove trading risk?

No. Automation manages execution behavior only. All market risk remains with the user.

What execution risks should I understand?

As with all trading, risks may include:

  • Slippage
  • Volatility
  • Gaps
  • Order rejections
  • Illiquid markets
  • Trading conducted outside of regular market hours

TradeExecutor.ai does not override broker, exchange, or market behavior.

What happens during news events or fast-moving markets?

TradeExecutor.ai does not read news or respond to emotion.

Orders are evaluated strictly according to predefined rules. Market conditions may affect fills, pricing, or order acceptance.

What happens if something goes wrong (connectivity, system issues)?

TradeExecutor.ai runs on our infrastructure and connects to your broker over their own API.

If our systems or your brokerage connection lose connectivity, automated execution stops immediately. This behavior is intentional and acts as a safety mechanism.

TradeExecutor.ai supports the strategy and your account configuration. Your funds, order routing, and broker-side account issues are handled by your broker directly — we never hold your funds.

What happens if an order is rejected or not filled?

Rejected orders are not retried. Accepted but unfilled orders remain active until filled, cancelled, or expired at session end, per your broker's own rules. Your broker's platform may show alerts while an order is working.

SECTION 5 — Setup & Requirements

What do I need to use TradeExecutor.ai?

  • A brokerage account with a currently supported broker
  • An internet connection to complete OAuth setup

TradeExecutor.ai never sees or stores your brokerage login credentials — the connection is authorized entirely through your broker's own OAuth flow, and your funds always stay in your own brokerage account.

What does setup actually involve?

Create a free account, connect your brokerage via secure OAuth, and enable execution permissions per symbol. There is nothing to import and nothing to install.

Setup typically takes a few minutes. You choose which symbols to monitor or execute, and how.

Can I enable automation gradually?

Yes. Automation permissions are granted per symbol, allowing you to proceed at your own pace.

What are common setup mistakes?

  • Not completing brokerage OAuth authorization
  • Not granting execution permission for a symbol
  • Misconfiguring capital allocation
  • Enabling automation and then disconnecting your brokerage
  • Using TradeExecutor.ai's strategy outside its intended design

SECTION 6 — Billing, Plans & Cancellation

Is this a subscription?

Yes. TradeExecutor.ai is billed monthly. There is no one-time purchase and no perpetual license — you subscribe to a plan and can change or cancel it anytime.

TradeExecutor.ai never has access to your brokerage funds — execution happens directly through your broker's own API, and your money always stays in your own account.

How does billing work?

Plans are billed monthly and renew automatically until cancelled. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from your account at any time — see tradeexecutor.ai/pricing for current tiers.

Can I share my account?

No. Each subscription is issued for individual use, tied to your own connected brokerage account.

Do you offer refunds?

See our Terms and Conditions for our current billing and refund policy.

Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription from your account at any time — there is no lock-in.

SECTION 7 — Why Traders Choose TradeExecutor.ai

No install. No trading platform.

TradeExecutor.ai connects to your own brokerage account via secure OAuth. Nothing to download, nothing running on your machine.

Less guesswork. Less screen time.

You can apply TradeExecutor.ai's strategy to any symbol your broker supports to observe historical behavior.

$9.99 a month to monitor before you commit — watch the strategy behave against your real account on the Monitor plan before you ever authorize a trade.

You stay in full control

You control symbols, automation, and exits.

TradeExecutor.ai has no access to your funds — they stay in your own brokerage account — and automation can be shut off instantly without relying on anyone else.

Support for every subscriber

Every TradeExecutor.ai subscriber gets support to help with brokerage connection, configuration, and correct usage — not a support tier reserved for a limited group.
