Roaraq

Risk-managed trading terminal

Rules you set. Enforced before the order leaves.

Roaraq sits between you and your broker. Every order is checked against your own limits: position size, daily loss, leverage, re-entry. An order that breaks a rule does not go.

14 days free. No card. A demo broker is included so nothing is at risk while you set up.


Your broker executes and holds custody. Roaraq only sends the orders you approve.

How an order travels

Four stations. One rule check you cannot skip.

  1. 01

    You write the rule as a sentence

    Block a buy that would take one symbol above 10% of my equity. Pause new positions after a 2% daily loss for 120 minutes. Fourteen rules, each one a sentence with your numbers in it.

  2. 02

    Every order is checked before it leaves

    The ticket runs your rules against your account as it is right now, at the estimated fill price. Pass, warn or block. A block is one sentence with the numbers.

    Under 800 ms

  3. 03

    Your broker fills it

    Roaraq submits the order to your broker and stores the response verbatim. Custody, execution and statements stay where they are.

  4. 04

    The account is re-checked after every sync

    Positions and fills come back and the rules run again on what actually happened. Trades placed outside Roaraq are found and journaled as unguarded. Loss limits arm cooldowns.

    Every 60 s in market hours


The rules

Fourteen rules. One sentence each.

Every rule is a sentence you can read, with your numbers in it. Start with the five starter rules in warn mode; promote each one to block when you trust it.

What Roaraq is not

01

Not a broker

Your broker executes orders and holds your assets. Roaraq never touches money and cannot move it.
02

Not a real-time hard limit

Pre-trade checks are synchronous and hard. Post-trade checks run on a sync of at most 60 seconds. A fill placed directly at your broker is detected and journaled, not prevented.
03

Not advice

The rules are yours. Roaraq enforces them and records what happened. It has no view on what you should trade, and it cannot prevent losses.

Built like a ledger

Every decision leaves a row.

Append-only

Snapshots, fills, blocks and the audit log are never updated or deleted. Corrections are new rows. History is reconstructible to the minute.

Every block has a reason

One sentence with the numbers, stored with the version of the rule that produced it and the account state it saw.

The escape hatch is always open

Every screen links to your broker. A rule can stop an order in Roaraq; it can never lock you out of your own account.
