Vs the chat that «knows what to buy»
A model is good at talking. It is terrible at sizing. Helmsman keeps it out of lots and stops. It can help you read; it cannot sign the order. The gap between advice and a burned account is all there.
Compare
The market is full of opinions. Helmsman sells a loop: liquid names, numbers from the engine, your yes, a covered entry at the account you already keep. The rest is noise with a new UI.
The course stays yours
If noise is enough, do not write. If you want the covered loop, pre-register and name the broker.

A signal is a ticker and a side, naked. You copy, naked. Helmsman is not a channel: if the rule does not fire, there is no line. If there is, it has size and stop on your account, not on the account in the screenshot.
Autopilot is brochure language. Helmsman is the opposite: without your yes, nothing leaves. After entry it does not «manage». Anyone who wants a robot that prints while they sleep is looking for another product — and, usually, finds it at the bottom of the account.
We do not move your book. Alpaca, Tradier, IG and IBKR already have adapters; Saxo, Schwab, Directa are to build — Directa with friction. Fineco has no trading API. The yes stays the same. Who receives the covered order changes. See the map →
Scan by eye, size by feeling, stop «later». It works until it does not. Helmsman does not take the craft away: it takes the circus away. The decision stays. It leaves only if it is covered.
Multi-broker slides · only venues whose APIs the model can speak
Marks belong to their owners: they name the venues, they do not imply a partnership. Gold = adapter already in code. The slide shows only retail APIs that fit. Fineco, DEGIRO, Robinhood and the rest without an official trading API stay off it.
We are in early access. Skills and adapters are moving fast: you can pre-register.
Pre-registerPass-through
Helmsman is middleware: it translates, vetoes, forwards. The LLM proposes. You confirm. The broker — on your account — is the final executor.
Not us
Claude or another third-party model can hallucinate, botch the numbers, invent a name. That call is not Helmsman.
This is us
Routing, rules, covers. If the stop is missing, if size moved, if you did not say yes — the pipe closes. We do not hold your book.
Final executor
Alpaca, Tradier, or the venue you connect. If an order exists, it exists on their book. Helmsman is not your intermediary and not your bank.
If the order exists, it exists on your account, after your yes. Helmsman is the pipe. Not the captain. Not the till.
