What a bot actually does
It watches, it applies your sentence, it can send or cancel. Charges, holidays, and a dead API still happen — we put those in the report.
Trading tools, explained plainly
Vega Trades
Vega Trades builds bots and indicators for people who want rules they can explain. This is education and tooling — not a promise that you will make money.
A trading bot is software that watches prices, applies your rules, and can place or cancel orders. The intelligence is in the rules you write — signal, risk, execution, and an off switch a person still owns.
An indicator is a lens on the chart (trend, momentum, volatility, volume). It does not know the future. Stacking three oscillators from the same family usually just repeats the same noise.
If you want a custom bot or indicator, tell us the market, the timeframe, and the rule in one sentence. We will say if it is buildable — and we will not dress a weak rule up as a guaranteed edge.
In practice this splits into five jobs: a bot that executes your rule, an indicator that marks the chart, a backtest that tries the rule on old days, a risk control that caps the damage, and a note that is just a paragraph, not software. Most people should start with the backtest before they start with the bot.
Indicators with a job
Pair one trend tool, one momentum tool, and one volatility or volume tool. If you cannot explain why it fires, it does not belong in the bot.
How to start
Email the market, the timeframe, and the rule in one sentence. We will say if it is buildable — without dressing a weak rule up as an edge.
What we build
A bot that follows your rule
You already have a rule — ‘if this candle does this, I stay out.’ We turn that into software that watches the chart while you are at work. You still decide when it is allowed to send an order.
- The rule is written in plain English first. Code comes second.
- Hooks to the broker or exchange you already use, with a log when the line drops.
- You keep a stop on your phone. The bot does not get the last word.
A mark on the chart
Most charts are crowded. We add one mark with a job: is this stretch too far, is volume real, is the trend still on. It will not tell you tomorrow’s close.
- Built for the market and time you already watch — not a generic pack.
- You should be able to explain the mark to a friend in one sentence.
- Can sit on the chart alone, or feed the bot if the rule is solid.
Try the rule on old days
Before a rupee is live, we walk the rule through old days and a dummy book. Brokerage, holidays, and gaps go in the report. A green curve with none of that is not useful.
- Old days first. Dummy book second. Small live size only if you still want it.
- Charges and missed fills on the page — not only the winning stretch.
- If the rule only looks good after we already know the close, we say so and stop.
A daily stop you cannot argue with
The bot can be clever. The account still needs a ceiling. We cap size and the day’s loss, and we give you a button that flattens everything — including when you are in a meeting.
- A rupee cap for the day that the bot is not allowed to raise.
- A flatten button on your phone that cancels working orders.
- A simple list: what the rule saw, what was sent, what came back.
Notes, not tips
Sometimes the useful thing is a paragraph, not software. We write what we are watching and why a rule is in or out. It is a note. It is not a tip group.
- Short notes on Nifty, a metal, FX, or whatever you asked us to sit with.
- No ‘guaranteed’ language and no paid signal blast.
- If a note turns into a rule you want in software, we already have the sentence.
