Features

Everything below is shipped and running. Nothing here is a roadmap entry.

Signals

  • Signals carry asset, direction, entry, stop loss, take profit, originating strategy and a confidence score.
  • Every signal is followed to its outcome — win or loss, realised risk-reward, exit price — so strategy performance is measured.
  • Signals can be executed manually or automatically.
  • Signal intake from TradingView webhooks as well as internal strategies.

Independent review

  • Signal generation and signal approval are two separate stages. Generation alone cannot open a position.
  • The review stage fails closed. If it cannot reach a verdict, the trade does not execute.

Risk controls

  • Maximum position size, as a percentage of account equity.
  • Daily drawdown ceiling, with automatic halt on breach.
  • Maximum concurrent open positions.
  • Default stop loss and take profit applied to every order.
  • Per-symbol allow and block lists.
  • Auto-close on a loss threshold you set.

These are checked on every execution path before an order reaches the broker — not offered as suggestions.

Copy trading

  • Follow another account at your own ratio.
  • Independent notional cap and daily loss cap per relationship.
  • Per-symbol allow and block lists that override the leader's.
  • Pause or terminate a copy relationship at any time.

Managed accounts

  • Allocate to a trader or strategy under a defined risk profile.
  • Profit share calculated against a high-water mark, so a recovery from drawdown is never billed twice.
  • Per-account asset allow lists, leverage caps and drawdown limits.

Bring your own AI

You can run VarianTrade against your own AI account instead of ours. There are three ways to connect one, and they solve different problems.

Use VarianTrade inside Claude or ChatGPT

  • VarianTrade publishes a connector any AI host supporting remote MCP can add. You authorise it once, choose which scopes to grant, and your AI host talks to your account from then on.
  • Six scopes, granted separately: market data, portfolio, signals, risk limits, account status, and trade proposals. You grant only what you want.
  • Standard OAuth with PKCE. Refresh tokens rotate, and reusing an old one revokes the whole family rather than quietly continuing.
  • Every connection is listed in your account and can be revoked in one action, from the web or with /ai_connections in Telegram. Revocation takes effect immediately.
  • Every call your AI host makes is recorded against that connection.

Bring your own API key

  • Add an OpenAI or DeepSeek API key and your conversational requests are billed to your own provider account rather than drawing on Varian AI credits.
  • Keys are enrolled through a web form, never through a chat message, and are stored encrypted. We show you the last four characters and nothing else. There is no endpoint that reads a key back out — not for you, not for us.
  • Rotate or revoke a key at any time; revoking deletes the stored secret.
  • If your key is unavailable, the request falls back to Varian's own providers and the reply says so. Nothing moves silently between accounts.

Run it on your own machine

  • Enrol your own computer as a device and it accepts short-lived jobs from VarianTrade over an outbound connection. Nothing listens on your machine.
  • Your provider login stays local. It is never sent to us, and we have no way to read it.
  • Jobs are a fixed, short list of task types. There is no mechanism for VarianTrade to run arbitrary commands on your machine.
  • Revoking a device invalidates it immediately and cancels its outstanding jobs.

What a connected AI can and cannot do

  • It can read the data you scoped it to: quotes, your open positions, your portfolio summary, your risk limits, your recent signals.
  • It can create a trade proposal. A proposal is not an order. It expires, and it carries no ability to place anything.
  • It cannot execute, modify or cancel a trade. There is no tool that does this and no path that reaches your broker.
  • Acting on a proposal requires you to tap approve on a card in Telegram showing the exact final order. The price and your stop and target are re-checked at that moment, and a proposal whose levels no longer make sense against the market is refused rather than filled.
  • Every risk limit you have set is applied to an approved proposal exactly as it is to any other order.

Research

  • Backtest a strategy over historical data before committing capital.
  • Compare backtest results against the same strategy's live behaviour.
  • Sentiment scoring and an economic calendar feeding signal generation.
  • Configurable blackout windows around high-impact events.

Operation

  • Runs entirely inside Telegram — nothing to install.
  • Paper mode runs the full system against your real configuration without real money.
  • Price alerts and configurable notifications.
  • Your funds stay in your own broker account throughout.
