Overview
Guardrail is an AI-autonomous trading platform that analyzes market data (momentum, volume, news, earnings, sector rotation, volatility, technicals, fundamentals) and proposes trades with confidence scores. Every trade decision is checked against a hard-coded Risk Engine that enforces your budget and risk rules — the AI never has final approval. Users set their constraints once, then watch the system execute systematic trading decisions with full transparency, including losing periods. No guaranteed profits, just honest rule-based trading.
Mission
What we're building
An AI-autonomous trading platform where users set their budget and risk rules, an AI engine analyzes the market (momentum, volume, news, earnings, sector rotation, volatility, technicals, fundamentals) and proposes trades with confidence scores — and a separate, hard-coded Risk Engine approves, blocks, or pauses every decision against the user's limits. The AI never has the final word. Positioning is honest: systematic trading decisions according to rules you control, with full transparency of real performance including losing periods. No "guaranteed profits" — ever.
Current focus — MVP
Ship the product's public face: a polished landing page for Guardrail — hero, how it works (set rules → AI analysis → strategy proposes → risk engine approves/executes), the Risk Engine's overrides as the centerpiece (position size denied, trade-count denied, drawdown pause), the safety-first path to real money (backtest → paper trade → live), the transparency promise, and a waitlist signup. The backtesting engine, risk-engine internals, paper trading, and broker integration come after, in that order — prove it on history, then on paper, then live.
