Is blank safe?
blank is software that trades your own Trading 212 account while the desktop app is open. Your money never leaves your broker. The API key blank uses cannot withdraw funds, so the worst case is a losing trade, not an emptied account. It is not risk-free and blank never says it is. Trading involves risk. Losing trades and losing months happen.
How your money is protected.
Your money stays with your broker
Trades happen inside your own Trading 212 account (Invest or ISA). blank never takes a deposit and never holds funds. Trading 212, where your capital sits and orders execute, is FCA-regulated.
The API key cannot withdraw
The Trading 212 API key blank uses is stored encrypted and cannot move money out. Revoke it in Trading 212 and blank is cut off at once.
No leverage
Cash equities on the LSE, NYSE and NASDAQ only. No margin, no CFDs, no crypto. blank cannot go short and cannot use leverage.
No all-in trades
Position sizing is capped by a Kelly fraction. Exposure is sized to the edge blank sees, up to a hard ceiling. No single trade can wipe out an account.
A stop on every entry
Each trade arms a stop-loss sized from recent volatility (ATR). The stop is written to disk the moment it is set, so it survives a crash or a restart. A separate monitor watches the price and fires the stop when it triggers.
A kill switch you hold
Live trading switches off in one click. Closing the app stops new orders mid-cycle. Neither closes your positions. They stop new ones.
How risk management works.
blank reasons over live evidence each cycle rather than running fixed rules. Every trade still sits inside limits it cannot override.
Position sizing
Every proposed trade is capped by a Kelly-fraction rule. blank never goes all-in. Exposure is sized to the edge it sees, up to a hard ceiling.
Stops on their own clock
Each entry arms a stop-loss sized from recent volatility (ATR): wider in calm markets, tighter in volatile ones, so ordinary noise does not knock it out. A separate monitor polls the price about once a second and fires the stop when it triggers. It runs independently of the advisor's own cycle, so a fast fall never has to wait for the next iteration.
Regime awareness
A detector watches for elevated volatility and cuts position sizing when the market turns riskier. The advisor gets smaller as the market gets riskier.
No leverage
blank trades cash positions only. It cannot short, cannot use margin and cannot touch CFDs. Those are the fastest ways retail accounts get emptied, and they are closed off.
A kill switch you hold
Live trading switches off in one click. Closing the desktop app stops the supervisor mid-cycle. Revoking the API key in Trading 212 cuts blank off completely.
Stops survive a restart
Every armed stop is saved the moment it is created. Closing the app or a crash mid-session never loses one. They are still there when blank comes back.
You can check the work instead of trusting it.
blank is not a black box. Every trade is journalled with its reason in plain English. The chat can defend any decision with the evidence it used: the news that drove it, the price levels it watched, the sizing logic. Every closed trade, losses included, appears in your journal and dashboard as plainly as the wins.
There is no performance marketing. You can run the same engine in practice mode on a £1,000 virtual balance, on live market data, before you connect a real key.
Who builds blank.
Software that places trades with your money should not come from an anonymous landing page. blank has a name on it. It is built by Milo, the founder of Certified Random, an independent UK software studio. One person is accountable for every decision in the product: the trading logic, the pricing, the security model and every word on the site. The product is in open beta. The status page shows live system health, the update log shows what shipped, and Trustpilot is open for your verdict, good or bad.
The trade-offs.
blank is not 24/7 and it is not for every broker. It works with Trading 212 only at launch. The advisor, and the stop monitor with it, runs only while the desktop app is open on your machine. IBKR, Alpaca and Schwab are on the roadmap. No system removes the risk of losing money. blank removes the work of researching and placing trades. It does not guarantee returns. Anyone who tells you AI trading is easy money is selling you something.
Safety questions.
Can blank lose all my money?
No system can promise otherwise. blank's design closes the fastest routes to ruin: no leverage, no CFDs, no all-in sizing, and a stop armed on every entry. Capital is still at risk and losing months happen. Start small, and run practice mode first.
What stops blank from doing something reckless?
Limits it cannot override: Kelly-fraction position caps, ATR-based stops watched by a separate one-second price monitor, sizing cut in volatile regimes, cash-only execution, and a one-click kill switch.
Do I give blank my money?
No. You connect your own Trading 212 account with an API key. Trades happen inside your account and the key cannot withdraw funds. You never transfer money to blank.
Is blank regulated?
blank is software, not a regulated financial adviser. Trading 212, where your capital sits and your orders execute, is FCA-regulated.
