Before You Trade

Understand how Airavat executes trades, where responsibility lies, and what to know before connecting capital.

Airavat is built as an execution system. Before you connect any accounts or enable execution, it’s important to understand what the system does, what it does not do, and where responsibility sits.

This page exists to set expectations clearly and upfront.


What Airavat Is

Airavat is a system designed to translate explicit user intent into concrete trading actions. You express what you want to do, and Airavat executes those instructions within the permissions and constraints you define.

It is built to support systematic, rule-based trading workflows and to reduce manual execution, cognitive load, and emotional interference.

Airavat does not operate autonomously without your intent, and it does not take control of your capital.


What Airavat Is Not

Airavat is not:

  • A signal service

  • A managed account

  • A trading advisor

  • A guarantee of profit or performance

It does not decide what to trade for you, and it does not assume responsibility for outcomes. All trading decisions originate from you.


Responsibility & Control

You remain fully in control of your capital at all times.

  • You choose what permissions to grant

  • You decide when execution is enabled

  • You can revoke access or stop execution at any time

Airavat only acts within the scope you explicitly allow. Responsibility for risk, sizing, and strategy remains with the user.


How Execution Works (High-Level)

At a high level, Airavat follows a simple model:

  1. You express intent through the conversational interface

  2. Airavat translates that intent into concrete actions

  3. Actions are executed only within granted permissions

There is no hidden logic, discretionary judgment, or implied behavior beyond what you instruct and approve.


User-Controlled Access

We strongly recommend starting conservatively.

  • Begin with read-only API keys, which allow Airavat to view your account but not place trades or modify positions.

  • If you later move to read-write API keys, ensure that withdrawal permissions are not enabled.

  • Using a dedicated exchange sub-account with limited funds is strongly recommended in all cases.

  • Only allocate the assets you are comfortable making available for execution.

You retain full control over what Airavat can access and execute based on the permissions you choose.

Treat initial usage as a testing phase, not production trading.


Who This Is For (and Who It Is Not)

Airavat is designed for users who:

  • Understand that markets involve risk

  • Prefer systems over discretionary decision-making

  • Want visibility, control, and execution discipline

It is not designed for:

  • Hands-off investing

  • Guaranteed outcomes

  • “Set and forget” trading expectations


What Comes Next

If this execution model aligns with how you want to trade, the next step is procedural setup.
