How Hypertrade trades W
With Hypertrade you connect your own AI, Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a custom model, and it can propose Wtrades around the clock. Every proposal passes a deterministic risk engine that sizes the position, enforces a mandatory stop, caps leverage, and can veto the trade outright. Orders are signed by an agent trade-only permission that can trade but cannot authorize an external withdrawal. Your trading capital remains in your user-controlled account at the venue. It is discipline the AI can never override, not a black box and not a promise of returns.
