How Airavat Works
An overview of how Airavat translates explicit user intent into verified, confirmed trades on your exchange — from instruction capture and validation to confirmation and execution.
How Airavat Works
Airavat is an execution system that converts explicit user intent into concrete trading actions.
It does not generate trade ideas or act on its own. Every action Airavat takes is the result of a direct instruction you provide and explicitly confirm.
Understanding how this translation happens is critical to using the system safely.
The Core Model
At a high level, Airavat operates in four stages:
Intent Capture
Interpretation & Validation
Confirmation
Execution via the Exchange
Each stage is deliberate. Nothing skips steps.
1. Intent Capture
You express what you want to do using natural language inside the Airavat interface.
Examples of intent:
“Buy 0.1 BTC at market”
“Place a limit order to sell ETH at 3,200”
“Close my current BTC position”
“Show me my open positions”
Airavat treats these as instructions, not suggestions.
It does not infer hidden goals, optimize outcomes, or “fill in the blanks” beyond what is explicitly stated.
Ambiguous instructions are clarified.
2. Interpretation & Validation
Once intent is received, Airavat translates it into a structured execution plan.
At this stage, the system checks:
Order type (market, limit, etc.)
Direction (buy / sell, open / close)
Quantity and sizing
Market availability
Exchange permissions
Risk and account constraints
If the instruction violates:
Your API permissions
Exchange rules
Account limits
Market constraints
…it will not proceed.
Airavat cannot override the exchange, your account configuration, or risk limits.
3. Confirmation (Human-in-the-Loop)
Before anything is sent to the exchange, Airavat presents a clear summary of the action it is about to take.
This typically includes:
Instrument
Side (buy / sell)
Size
Order type
Price (if applicable)
You are required to explicitly confirm by responding yes or no.
No confirmation means no execution.
This confirmation step is intentional friction. It exists to prevent accidental trades, misinterpretation, and impulse execution.
4. Execution via the Exchange
Once confirmed, Airavat submits the order directly to your exchange using your API credentials.
At this point:
The exchange executes the trade
Fees, slippage, fills, and settlement are handled by the exchange
Airavat receives execution feedback and reports it back to you
Airavat does not custody funds, internalize trades, or modify execution behavior beyond what the exchange allows.
If the exchange rejects the order, Airavat cannot force it through.
What Airavat Does Not Do
To avoid confusion, it’s important to be explicit.
Airavat does not:
Decide what you should trade
Predict markets or generate signals
Optimize entry or exit timing
Adjust position sizing on its own
Automatically “fix” losing trades
Act without your instruction and confirmation
Any automation, scheduling, or recurring behavior must be explicitly configured by you and can be disabled at any time.
Why This Design Exists
Airavat is intentionally conservative in how it operates.
This design:
Keeps decision-making with the user
Preserves exchange-level safety mechanisms
Makes execution auditable and predictable
Reduces unintended behavior
Aligns responsibility clearly
Airavat is a power tool. Precision matters more than speed.
If Something Goes Wrong
If execution does not behave as expected:
Disable execution immediately
Review confirmations, logs, and exchange activity
Verify permissions and limits
Contact support if clarification is needed
Unexpected outcomes almost always trace back to:
Ambiguous intent
Misunderstood order types
Exchange-level constraints
Incorrect account configuration
Understanding this flow helps you diagnose issues quickly.
What’s Next
Now that you understand how Airavat translates intent into execution, the next sections cover:
How intent is parsed and confirmed in detail
Supported order types and market mechanics
Automation, agents, and scheduled execution
Risk controls, kill switches, and safety boundaries
Airavat rewards clarity. The clearer your intent, the more predictable the outcome.
