Auto-execute

4 min read · updated 2026-06-11

The auto-execute toggle on Risk & Caps decides what a signal run (SleeveFolio’s daily scoring of your symbols) is allowed to do. Off (the default): signals are advisory — rankings appear on the Signals page and nothing trades. On: SleeveFolio may turn signal output into orders automatically, sized within your sleeve budgets (a sleeve is a bucket of your account — stocks, crypto, or cash — with its own budget) and screened by every cap.

Paper first, live later

Paper is where the full loop — signals to orders to fills to reconciliation — gets rehearsed with zero risk, and it’s where auto-execution lands first. Live auto-execution arrives behind the same safety checks as every live order — all must pass, and SleeveFolio verifies them on its own systems, not just on your screen.

What stops auto-execution

  • The kill switch’s Pause — the explicit stop, one click from anywhere
  • The drawdown de-risk brake — the automatic stop that kicks in if your account falls too far from its peak — when tripped
  • Any individual order that fails a cap check (that order is blocked, not the switch)
