Systematic trading, risk-first

A trading bot built to protect capital first.

Sentinel is our proprietary crypto trading engine. It follows strict rules, sizes every position to market volatility, and stops itself before losses get out of hand. We won’t promise you a return. We’ll show you exactly how your money is being managed.

No card needed for the trial. Your funds never leave your exchange.

Skipped ETH long. Trend signal present but volatility 1.8× its 30-day average; expected edge below threshold after fees.

How it works

Three steps, and you stay in control at every one.

01

Connect your exchange

Create a trade-only API key on a supported exchange and paste it in. Withdrawal permissions are rejected automatically, so the bot can place orders but can never move money out.

02

Pick a risk profile

Choose Conservative, Balanced or Active. Each has a hard drawdown ceiling, a maximum position size and a cap on how much of your balance can be deployed at once.

03

Let Sentinel work, and watch it

Every order, fill and decision reason shows up in your dashboard in real time. If you don't like what you see, one click flattens positions and stops trading.

Ceilings are hard stops, not targets. Losses can briefly exceed them in fast markets due to gaps and slippage.

The Sentinel bot

Proprietary model. Transparent rules.

The signals are ours, and we keep them private so they can’t be copied or front-run. The rules that govern your risk are public, and every decision on your account comes with a reason you can read.

Market regime detection

Classifies conditions as trending, ranging or disorderly, and trades less (or not at all) when signals are weak.

Volatility-based sizing

Position size shrinks as volatility rises, so a wild week doesn't carry outsized weight in your account.

Hard circuit breakers

If your profile's drawdown limit is hit, trading halts and waits for you. No averaging down, no revenge trades.

Diversified strategy set

Trend-following and mean-reversion sleeves run side by side, weighted by recent reliability rather than recent profit.

Careful execution

Limit orders by default, slippage checks before every fill, and liquidity filters that skip thin markets.

Explainable decisions

The model is proprietary, but every trade comes with a plain-language reason: what fired, and why the size was chosen.

Our promise is a short one

If a platform promises you fixed returns, walk away. Including from us.

What you won’t hear from us

  • “Guaranteed” or “risk-free” returns
  • A fixed percentage per day, week or month
  • Backtests presented as if they were live results
  • Hand-picked winning trades without the losers
  • Urgency: “only 5 spots left”

What we do instead

  • Show every month, including the red ones
  • Report returns net of all fees
  • Compare against simply holding BTC
  • Publish maximum drawdown next to returns
  • Let you leave any time, with no lock-in

Reporting

Statements that show the whole picture.

Each month you get a statement for your own account: returns after fees, the worst peak-to-trough drop, how often the bot traded, and how it compared with just holding Bitcoin. Losing months are reported exactly like winning ones.

  • Net-of-fee returns
  • Max drawdown
  • BTC buy-and-hold benchmark
  • Every trade, exportable

Encrypted keys

API keys are encrypted at rest and only decrypted inside an isolated signing service.

Least privilege

Keys with withdrawal or transfer rights are refused. IP allow-listing supported where exchanges offer it.

Account protection

Mandatory two-factor authentication, session alerts and a one-click kill switch.

Pricing

A flat monthly fee. We don’t take a cut of your gains.

Performance fees reward taking bigger risks. A subscription keeps our incentives aligned with yours: steady, careful management.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How much will I make?

We don't know, and neither does anyone else. Crypto markets are volatile and any strategy can lose money, including ours. What we can tell you is exactly how the bot manages risk, and we'll show you honest, fee-inclusive results for your own account.

Do you ever hold my funds?

No. Vantro connects to your exchange account through an API key that can only place and cancel orders. Withdrawal-enabled keys are rejected. Your assets stay with your exchange the whole time.

Why is Sentinel proprietary?

Publishing the exact signals would let others front-run them, which hurts every user. Instead, we publish the methodology, the risk rules, and a plain-language reason for every trade the bot makes on your account.

What happens if the market crashes?

Positions are sized by volatility, so exposure falls as markets get wild. If losses still reach your profile's drawdown ceiling, trading stops completely until you review and choose to resume.

Why no performance fee?

Performance fees reward taking more risk in good months. A flat subscription means our incentive is simple: keep you as a customer by being careful with your capital.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time from settings. Cancelling stops the bot immediately; you can choose to close open positions or keep them on your exchange.

Try disciplined, rules-based trading on your own terms.

Start with a small allocation, watch every decision, and scale up only if it earns your trust.
