Autonomous Mode

Automated trading with built-in safety guardrails.

For experienced traders only. Autonomous Mode executes trades without confirmation. Make sure you understand the risks before enabling.

What is Autonomous Mode?

Autonomous Mode allows Mayson to execute certain trades automatically without requiring your approval for each one. This is designed for experienced traders who want to automate strategies while maintaining safety controls.

Prerequisites

Before you can enable Autonomous Mode:

✅ Completed at least 20 trades in Co-Pilot Mode
✅ Connected and verified exchange account
✅ Configured risk parameters
✅ Acknowledged risk warnings
✅ Explicit opt-in confirmation

How It Works

Automated Execution

Trades that meet your criteria execute immediately:

You: Buy $200 of BTC

Mayson: ⚡ Trade Executed (Autonomous)

Bought 0.00463 BTC at $43,196.50

Total: $200.00 + $0.20 fee

No confirmation was required (within your autonomous limits)

Safety Guardrails

Even in Autonomous Mode, strict limits apply:

Guardrail	Description
Max Trade Size	Maximum amount per trade
Daily Limit	Maximum trading volume per day
Position Limit	Maximum position in any asset
Concentration Limit	Maximum % of portfolio in one asset
Stop-Loss Required	Automatic stop-loss on positions

Required Safety Settings

Before enabling Autonomous Mode, you must configure:

Maximum Trade Size


Set my autonomous max trade to $500

Trades above this amount still require confirmation.

Daily Trading Limit


Set my daily trading limit to $2,000

Once reached, all trades require confirmation.

Position Limits


Set max position size to 20% of portfolio

Prevents over-concentration in any asset.

Automatic Stop-Loss


Set automatic stop-loss at 10%

All positions get automatic stop-loss protection.

What Still Requires Confirmation

Even in Autonomous Mode, these always require approval:

❗ Trades exceeding your max trade size
❗ Trades that would exceed daily limits
❗ First trade of a new asset
❗ Unusual market conditions (high volatility)
❗ Actions that seem inconsistent with your goals
