Microstructure-aware risk infrastructure for discretionary momentum trading
We don’t tell you what to trade. We tell you when conditions don’t deserve your risk.
VetoTrader is a research platform for discovering, validating, and cataloguing market phenomena.
It measures observable behaviours (starting with momentum) and documents the conditions under which they persist, decay, or fail — with strict point-in-time discipline.
In discretionary and prop environments, this becomes practical “eligibility” context: a structured way to recognise when participation is structurally unfavourable.
Nuance: research teams — including those inside hedge funds — can also use VetoTrader as upstream research infrastructure. The platform provides measured phenomena and failure modes; downstream strategy design remains separate by design.
No news is good news.
The system only speaks when it observes material friction. You’re not waiting for permission — you’re receiving measured context when conditions deteriorate.
A “Veto” is information, not instruction.
You retain full autonomy. The platform provides structured friction at the moment of commitment — a chance to pause and verify, not a barrier to action.
VetoTrader’s measurement framework is informed by peer-reviewed research in market microstructure, realised volatility, and momentum persistence — applied to reduce regime-misaligned participation.
This is not an “academic alpha engine.” It is research infrastructure for understanding when behaviours break down — designed to provide context, not prediction.
