Auto-trading

Auto-trading lets Phihelm fire bracket orders on your behalf when a setup meets your rules. Set it up cautiously — paper-first, always.

The kill switch

Top-right corner of the cockpit, always one click away. Hit it and all auto-execution stops immediately across every broker. Existing positions are untouched.

Tip
Memorize the keyboard shortcut: ⌘ ⇧ K . Triggers the kill switch from anywhere.

Setup checklist (paper-first)

  1. Settings → Risk caps → set Max risk $ per tradeand Max daily loss. Your live numbers eventually, half of those numbers for paper.
  2. Settings → Trading hours → restrict to your actual session window (default 09:30–15:30 ET).
  3. Patterns view → enable only the patterns you understand. Start with FIB_786 alone.
  4. Account picker → switch the symbol's account to Paper.
  5. Toggle the auto-trade switch on the OPT panel.
  6. Watch for 2 weeks. If paper P&L matches your manual baseline, flip to live with the smallest size your broker allows.
Look for
Auto-trade win rate on paper that matches or beats your manual baseline. Same setups, same outcomes = the system works for you.
Avoid
Going live with auto-trade in the first week. Even if the math is right, the muscle memory of trusting it isn't there yet. Two weeks of paper minimum.

How the broker bracket works

When auto-trade fires, Phihelm sends three orders to your broker atomically: entry · stop loss · take profit. The broker manages all three from then on — Phihelm just monitors. If you cancel the SL at the broker, Phihelm detects it and stops faking a close on price wicks.

Risk converter

Max risk $is dollar-denominated, not points. Phihelm converts to points using the contract multiplier ($50/pt for ES, $20/pt for NQ, $100 for SPX options, etc.). The conversion is shown inline on the input — "$750 max risk = 15pt stop on ES."
