You set how much it does without you.
Co-pilot on everything, autopilot on the desks you trust, or a different answer for each. Whichever you choose, the same rules hold underneath — and that is the reason it is safe to stop watching.
Co-pilot is the default, and it stays that way until you change it.
Out of the box every action stops one step short of your broker and waits for you. Autopilot is a deliberate switch, thrown per desk, and it can be thrown back in one click.
Your money never leaves your broker.
Sentry is not a broker-dealer and holds no custody of anything. Close the account tomorrow and your positions are exactly where they were.
Rules refuse rather than warn.
A warning is something you learn to click past. A refusal is not. When a rule you set would be broken, the action is withdrawn and the rule is stated.
Coverage is asserted, never assumed.
Every option lot carries its own coverage state and the age of that state. Nothing is reported as fine because nothing objected.
Autopilot obeys the same rules co-pilot does.
Turning a desk loose does not turn anything off. The cost-basis floor, the delta bands, the position caps and the duplicate checks all still refuse — a desk acting on its own has less latitude than you do, not more.
Every autopilot action is logged as if you had made it.
Same record, same reasoning, same rule cited, same trace down to the fill. You can read back a week you were not there and see exactly why each thing happened.
The eleven days that built this.
A covering leg once sat stuck in a pending close for eleven days while every screen in the product reported the position as healthy. Nothing had crashed, so nothing complained.
Coverage has been asserted per lot, with an age, ever since. It is the difference between a system that reports what it knows and one that reports what it checked.
One lot uncovered for eleven days. Said out loud, on every surface, until it isn’t.
Ending a post removes what Sentry does, never what you are exposed to.
Positions, P&L and holdings stay visible on the free tier. The watching stops; the record does not. Nothing is liquidated, moved or hidden because a subscription lapsed.
