How it works

Vigil does not tell you what to trade or buy. You write the framework you already follow, and every opportunity is measured against it and nothing else — so you can see, before you act, whether it actually fits your own rules.

1. 01
   You write the rules.

   Describe your setup or investment criteria in plain words. Vigil turns them into precise rules — a threshold, a condition that must be present, a session, a sector — and asks you about anything unclear instead of guessing. You mark which rules are required.

   In practice

   “London open only, sweep of the Asian low, at least 1:2.5 risk to reward” becomes three rules.

2. 02
   You bring an opportunity.

   For a trade, drop a chart screenshot or mark what you see yourself, and add your entry, stop and target. For an investment, search a ticker and its reported fundamentals are pulled in.

   In practice

   A EUR/USD 15-minute chart, entry 1.0842, stop 1.0828, target 1.0881.

3. 03
   The AI reads. The code decides.

   AI is only used to read — what is on a chart, what a sentence means. Every comparison against your rules is done in ordinary code, the same way every time. Figures like risk to reward are calculated, never taken from the AI.

   In practice

   Risk 14 pips, reward 39 pips — 2.8, against a required 2.5. Pass.

4. 04
   You get one of four verdicts.

   Each rule is marked pass, fail, pending or no data, and the verdict follows from those. Anything that cannot be confirmed is never counted as a pass.

   In practice

   Three rules pass, break of structure has not happened yet — Watch.

5. 05
   You record what happened.

   Every check is saved to the journal with the exact rule version it was judged against. Add the outcome, and Analytics shows how your trades did when each rule held against when it did not — which rules actually earn their place.

   In practice

   After 40 closed trades: trades with the sweep averaged +0.9R; without it, −0.2R.
