Risk control for automated trading
Your strategy.
Your broker.
Your limits, enforced.
SumoIQ checks every order from your signals against the limits you set (the assets you allow, your heat, your shorts) and sends it with a stop over the whole position. If SumoIQ can’t check an order, it doesn’t send it.
You bring the alpha. We bring the rigor.
Launching 2027
AI can write a strategy in minutes. Who checks what it sends?
Trading is automating fast, and AI can now write a strategy in minutes. Control has not kept up: the tools that make signals are built to send orders, not to question them. SumoIQ sits between your signals and your broker and applies your rules to every order before it goes.
In August 2025, 30% of US retail investors said they used AI tools to pick or change their investments (eToro survey by Opinium, 1,000 US investors).
The problem
Automation rarely fails at the signal. It fails after it.
Your bot thinks you’re long. Your broker says you’re flat.
An alert loop sends order after order before you notice.
A kill switch sells everything into a falling market.
Afterwards, nobody can say exactly why a trade happened.
SumoIQ’s halts stop new entries. Your positions and their stops stay where they are.
How it works
-
Connect your signals. QuantConnect first; TradingView alerts and your own code to follow.
-
Set your limits. The assets each strategy may trade, how it sizes, and its heat: the amount at risk if every stop is hit.
-
Every order is checked. Allowed, within heat, shorts switched on. If not, it is refused, with the reason.
-
Sent with its stop. A stop over the whole position, at your broker.
-
Checked against your broker. Any difference is shown, and positions found at the broker are counted and given a stop.
