Private trading floors, built one client at a time
Your own trading floor. On your own Mac.
Seventy-four AI agents in seven departments watch the market from your machine and argue about it all day. On your real account, nothing gets bought or sold until you say so. Installed with one line. Not a public service.

0 of 74 seats live. Every seat measures one thing. No number, no opinion. Point at any seat to see who sits there.
A plan is on the table
Every seat gets heard. Fourteen of them can kill it.
Signal Validation, Drawdown Control, Value at Risk, the Kill Switch and the rest of the veto row all have to stay silent. One no and the plan dies before anyone writes a word of reasoning. The decision is arithmetic; the write-up comes after, in plain English, so you can read why.

Then it waits
The floor cannot press the button. You can.
The plan lands on your desk with the reasoning attached and 45 minutes on the clock, and a message reaches you wherever you asked for one: email, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage or a plain text. Approve it, or let it expire. If the desk ever halts itself, only you can release it, and it tells you why it stopped.
Installed in one step
Sign in with the code we gave you. Paste one line. That is the whole install.
The desk lives on your own Mac, not on a server of ours. The installer puts it in a folder in your home directory, brings Node with it if the Mac has none, sets it up under the mandate you signed, starts it on practice money and opens it in your browser. No admin password, nothing outside your home folder.
$ curl -fsSL https://teloson.com/install.sh | bash -s -- TL-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX you@example.com
Your code and email are filled in for you on the client page. Running the same line again later updates the desk and keeps your settings and your data.
A Mac, the code from your welcome email, and about ten minutes. It asks for your own API keys as it goes; blank is allowed for each.
Starts the practice desk. Real prices, real news, fake money, for a couple of weeks, and it trades that fake money on its own so you can watch its judgement. It restarts itself if it ever crashes, and it can reach you by email, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage or text, whichever you put on the questionnaire.
Send your keys anywhere. The desk listens only to your own computer. We cannot see it, and it never holds your money.
Teloson is not a public service. There is no sign-up. A desk is built after your questionnaire is signed and countersigned, and the account is created by hand. The installer checks your code and email against that account and refuses everyone else.
A day on the floor
What actually happens between the opening bell and your inbox.
Times are New York. The seats named here are real seats on the floor, doing the one job each is built for.
- Trading Calendar opens the session. Wire Freshness and Data Provenance check that overnight data is real, recent and from where it says it is. Anything stale is marked unknown, and unknown means no opinion.
- Live Tape starts reporting. Bid-Ask Spread, Quote Staleness and Market Breadth take their measurements every tick. The floor talks to itself; you can read along or ignore it.
- A plan is tabled. Enough seats have converged on one name. All 74 review it; Drawdown Control, Value at Risk and the Kill Switch have the veto. No vetoes, so it is approved arithmetically, and only then does anyone write up why.
- It lands in your queue. A message goes out on whatever you chose: email, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage or a plain text. The plan shows the size, the limit, the reasoning and 45:00 on the clock. Nothing happens until you press Approve. Let it expire and it is gone; revive it later and it gets re-priced and re-reviewed.
- You approve. Preflight and Idempotency check the order, Order Routing sends it, Fill Quality reports what it actually cost. You get the fill on your phone inside the minute.
- A bad day, say. The book slips past your bad-day limit. Daily Limits halts the floor for the rest of the session. It messages you, and again every two hours until you acknowledge it. Nothing is sold. What you hold stays yours.
- The summary. Account value, the day's move, what is waiting on you, whether anything is halted, and any limit that differs from the one you signed. Then the floor keeps watching, quietly, until tomorrow.
The rules it cannot break
You set the limits. The software cannot talk itself past them.
Each of these comes from your questionnaire and is enforced in code before any order reaches your broker. When a limit would be breached, the trade is rejected. The desk does not use judgement to exceed it, and if something it needs to know is missing, it refuses rather than guesses.
- Emergency brake
- The decline in account value at which all trading halts and you are told, on email, WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage. You hear from it at the halfway point too, so it is never a surprise.
- 5 · 10 · 15 · 20%
- Position cap
- The most of your account any single name can be. Enforced on the resulting position, with orders still in flight counted.
- 3 · 5 · 10%
- Bad-day halt
- The loss in one day that stops trading for the rest of it. This one cannot be released early. It waits for the next New York session.
- 2 · 3 · 5%
- Exit flag
- The drop in a single position that flags it for exit and messages you. On your real account it is a flag, not a sale. You decide.
- 5 · 8 · 12%
- Losing-streak brake
- Consecutive losing trades before the desk halves its appetite, and the number before it halts outright.
- 3 then 5 · 5 then 8
- Daily caps
- The most orders it may place in a day, and the most dollars it may put to work.
- orders / day · $ / day
- Appetite
- A single dial from defensive to aggressive. It scales position size toward your cap, never past it.
- 0 to 100
- Chat orders
- Typing "buy" in the chat does nothing on a client desk. The floor is for research. Orders come from the queue, and the queue waits for you.
- off for every client
Every change to a limit after you sign is written to the record, and the dashboard shows it beside the value you originally agreed. The brakes, the high-water mark and the daily counts survive a restart. A crash brings the desk back halted, and it messages you to say so.
Straight talk
This is experimental software. Its own validation harness has certified zero trading signals as statistically proven, and in its own out-of-sample backtests nothing it has tried beats buy-and-hold. The best honest annualised result it has measured is a little over ten percent. It does not pretend otherwise, and neither do we.
Losses are possible at all times. Expect no particular return. Stops fill at the next available price, not the stop price, and overnight gaps can and have gone well past them. Only put in capital you can afford to lose entirely.
Teloson is software and setup. It is not investment advice, it does not manage your money, and it never holds it. Your account stays in your name, at your broker, on your machine.
If that framing is unacceptable, this is not for you. If it is, ask for an account.
