How it works
From idea to deployed — without giving up control.
1
Connect your Alpaca account
Authorize your own paper account via API. Your keys, your account — disconnect anytime.
2
Build or import your strategy
Start from a template or write your own logic. You choose assets, indicators, sizing and rules.
3
Backtest against historical data
Replay years of market data bar-by-bar with realistic slippage and fees before risking anything.
4
Deploy, monitor, pause, adjust
You approve every move to live. Watch each order, with risk limits you set and a kill switch you control.
Features
Everything to run your automation. Nothing that runs it for you.
Backtesting engine
Replay years of historical data bar-by-bar with realistic slippage and fees — validate before you ever go live.
Paper trading
Live-simulated execution against real market data — no capital at risk.
Live deployment
Promote to live on your explicit approval. One click, fully reversible.
Logs & monitoring
Every signal, order and fill, streamed. Alerts when something needs you.
User-set risk limits
Position caps, daily loss limits, stop-loss and trading hours — configured by you.
Manual pause / kill switch
Pause or stop any bot instantly. A global kill switch halts everything at once.
Broker connection management
Connect, scope and revoke broker access. Your funds never leave your account.
Invite-only access
We onboard gradually so the platform stays fast, stable and well-supported.
Trust & security
Your broker, your keys, your funds.
Vanquish AI is software that connects to accounts you own. We never take custody of your money and never trade on our own behalf.
User-controlled connection
You authorize your own broker and revoke access whenever you like.
No custody of funds
Money stays in your brokerage account at all times.
No managed accounts
We never choose trades or trade on your behalf.
User-owned strategies
Your logic is yours. Export or delete it anytime.
Clear activity logs
Append-only, auditable records of every action a bot takes.
Paper trading first
New strategies start in paper. Live always requires your approval.
Transparent risk controls
You set the limits; the bot enforces them, visibly.
Secure connection flow
Encrypted, least-privilege API/OAuth-style authorization where supported.
Developer infrastructure
Professional infrastructure, without managing servers.
Built for developers, self-directed traders, quant hobbyists and automation builders who want production-grade tooling — not a black box.
Managed hosting
Your bots run on isolated, monitored infrastructure — not your laptop. Pause or stop instantly.
Versioned strategies
Every change tracked. Roll back, branch and compare backtests across versions.
Alerts & webhooks
Get notified on fills, errors and risk-limit events — wherever you work.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
What is Vanquish AI?
Vanquish AI is developer infrastructure for self-directed trading automation. You connect your own broker, build and backtest a strategy, paper-trade it, and deploy and monitor your own bots. It provides software tools only — you make every trading decision.
Does Vanquish AI trade for me or give advice?
No. Vanquish AI does not provide investment advice, recommendations, signals, stock picks, copy-trading or managed trading. You write the logic, choose the assets and risk rules, and approve every deployment yourself.
Which brokers can I connect?
You bring your own brokerage account. Alpaca is supported today via OAuth/API authorization, and more brokers are planned. Your funds always stay in your own broker account — Vanquish AI never takes custody.
How does pricing work?
Building, backtesting and paper trading are free. A subscription is required only when you enable live Alpaca trading: €35/month, or €29/month billed yearly (€348/year). There are no performance fees, commissions or assets-under-management fees. Disable live trading anytime to stop billing.
What happens to my money and API keys?
Your funds remain in your own brokerage account at all times. API credentials are encrypted and scoped to least privilege, and you can disconnect your broker at any moment.
Can I lose money?
Yes. Trading involves risk and you may lose money. You are responsible for your bot's configuration and activity. Always validate strategies in paper trading before going live.
Is there a VQS token?
Where offered, the VQS token is optional utility for platform access and community features only. It is not an investment, not a profit or revenue share, and is not required to use Vanquish AI.
Is Vanquish AI really invite-only?
Yes. Vanquish AI is currently invite-only while we onboard users gradually. Request early access and we'll be in touch.
