AI Approval Trading

The trade plan card, the approve/reject flow, and why the AI can never place an order itself.

This is the heart of CoTrading. The AI can analyze and propose, but it has no authority to place an order. Execution happens only after your explicit approval.

The trade plan card

When the AI proposes a trade, it produces a structured plan card with these fields:

Direction — long or short.
Entry — the intended entry price or condition.
Stop-loss — where the trade is invalidated.
Position size — how much to commit, within your risk limits.
Rationale — the reasoning behind the plan, tied to the chart context.

Approve or reject

You review the card and choose:

Approve — the order is submitted to the exchange (still subject to your Risk Controls).
Reject — the plan is discarded and nothing is sent.

You can also reject and ask the AI to revise — for example, tighten the stop or reduce size.

The AI process cannot submit orders. It can only produce plan cards for your review. The path from a plan to a live order passes through your approval and your deterministic risk rules — never through the model alone. The safety boundary around your capital is never handed to the AI.

This separation is deliberate and structural: even if the AI were wrong, over-confident, or manipulated, it still cannot move your funds. Only you can approve, and every approved order is still bounded by risk controls.

Risk Controls — the deterministic limits every order must satisfy.
Live Trading — the additional gates for real funds.
