Guardrails for your AI trading agent.
Your rules on every order.

Tradebelay sits between your agent and your brokerage. Every order is checked against limits you set before it can reach your Alpaca account. Orders that break a rule never leave.

The dashboard

Every order,and why it went or stayed.

Your account, your limits and everything your agent tried, in one place.

Tradebelay overview: account value, today's change, orders checked, cash, limit meters and the latest orders.

See the account, the limits and today's orders at a glance

Live balances from your broker, how much room each limit has left today, and every order your agent tried.

How it works

Three steps betweenyour agent and your broker.

Your agent keeps its tools and its judgment. Tradebelay decides which orders are allowed to reach your account.

The rules

Write your limits once,in a file you can read.

Rules live in one plain YAML file you can diff and keep in version control. Pick a rule to see where it lives. Nothing here is a suggestion from us: the numbers are yours.

Behavior

AI Assistant · Plus and Pro

Ask your account anything.Change rules by saying so.

The AI Assistant lives in your dashboard. It reads your balances, orders, activity and audit log through Tradebelay's own tools, explains what happened, and drafts rule changes for you to approve. It can't trade.

AI Assistant

Why was my NVDA buy held?

Read order activity

It was over your $2,500 max per buy. Your agent asked for 20 shares at $180, about $3,600, so the order stayed with Tradebelay and nothing reached your broker.

Safeguards

When something's unclear,the order stays home.

The defaults assume something will go wrong: a broker timeout, a stale balance, an agent stuck in a loop. Each one ends with the order held, not guessed through.

What happens when…

Your broker doesn't answerHeld
The balance can't be readHeld
rules.yaml is invalidEverything held
The agent loops past its daily checksBuys held
You press Pause tradingBuys and sells held
A sell that cuts risk, over budgetGoes through
Cancelling a working orderAlways goes through

Fails closed

If Tradebelay can't read your account state, the order is blocked. It never approves on a guess.

Risk-reducing sells go through

Budget rules never block a sell that lowers your exposure. Cancels always work.

One-tap pause

Pause all of your agent's trading with one tap from the dashboard, or automatically when the account is down a set percent on the day.

Tamper-evident log

Every entry carries the hash of the one before it, so a missing or edited record shows.

Questions

What it does, and what it won't.

Short answers about how orders are checked, what happens when things fail, and where your credentials live.

Our one promise

We sell safety, not returns. Tradebelay holds your agent to the rules you set, and never tells it what to buy.

No. It never gives investment advice or suggests trades. It only enforces the rules you wrote, and your agent decides everything else.

On Plus and Pro, it answers questions about your account in plain English: balances, positions, why an order was held, what your agent did this week, what's in your audit log. Ask it to change a rule and it drafts the change for you to review and apply. It can dry-run an order against your rules and cancel a working order once you confirm, but it can't place or approve orders, pause or resume trading, or give investment advice.

Each plan includes a daily allowance of order checks: Free covers light use, Plus gives extended usage, and Pro has no limit. Past the allowance, new buys are held until the next trading day, the same way a rule would block them. Sells that reduce your risk and cancels always go through, so a limit can never trap you in a position. Dry-run checks don't count, and Settings shows how much you've used once you sign up.
