Covers

No naked entries. Period.

A market with no stop is not fast. It is uncovered. Helmsman opens only if protection leaves with the entry. If the broker or the rule cannot cover, there is no order — even if you already said yes.

«I’ll add the stop next» is the sentence that turns accounts into anecdotes. Here the stop is in the order, or the order does not leave.

Two tapes, two fates

Red is the account that «adds the stop later». A spike, a gap, a headline: the line vanishes lower. Gold is the covered entry: the line breathes, the floor is there. It is not magic. It is the order class the venue accepts — bracket, OTO, OTOCO — not a SIMPLE market with a prayer in chat.

After the open Helmsman does not chase the stop for you. It did its job: open covered. Managing the position is your discipline. Anyone promising automatic trailing while you sleep is selling another product — and, usually, another risk you did not read.

The order class is the cover

You see size and stop before you confirm. L5 does not send a naked entry. On Alpaca it is OTO or a bracket. On Tradier it is OTOCO. On PaperSim the protective legs stay open on the bench. The name changes. The promise does not.

What «covered» means here

It means refusing. If the rule does not give a stop distance, if the venue will not take that order class, if the data is stale — Helmsman does not «make it work». Your capital is not an experiment to keep you in the conversation.

It also means honesty about afterwards. We do not sell position management. We do not sell trailing. We do not sell autopilot. We sell the entry that is born already protected, on the account you already keep, with your yes.

OTO, bracket, OTOCO →

The myth, and the tape

The mythMarket. Fill. Then the stop. «I’m fast, three seconds.» Three seconds in a gap is an eternity. Three seconds in a headline is an account.
HelmsmanThe stop leaves with the entry. If the venue will not take that form, it does not open. Speed without a floor is not speed: it is exposure.

We are in early access: when a client is in, they operate in paper. Skills and adapters are moving fast. Live comes when this rule still holds with real money — not before, not to «close a deal».

Want to open only if it is covered?

We are in early access. Skills and adapters are moving fast: you can pre-register.

Pre-register

Pass-through

We do not decide. We do not execute.

Helmsman is middleware: it translates, vetoes, forwards. The LLM proposes. You confirm. The broker — on your account — is the final executor.

01

The LLM

Not us

Claude or another third-party model can hallucinate, botch the numbers, invent a name. That call is not Helmsman.

02

The bridge

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.

03

The broker

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.
