From Conviction
to Capital.
Trade is a real brokerage account being built into VInvest. Buy and sell any stock on your own terms — or put real money behind a strategy you already proved out in Test In Lab. Same simple order ticket, either way. Test In Lab is live today — start proving out a strategy with paper money now, so it’s ready the day Trade goes live.
Where Things Stand, Right Now
Two Modes. One Is Live. One Is Almost There.
Build a strategy, set your own entry and exit conditions, and trade it with paper money — zero risk, real market data, real discipline. Nothing to wait for. Start proving out a thesis today.
A real brokerage account, powered by Alpaca, for putting actual capital behind a strategy you’ve proved out — or trade entirely on your own conviction. Almost here. Not live yet.
No reason to wait on Trade to get started — a strategy tested now in Test In Lab is a strategy that’s ready the moment Trade goes live.
How It Works
Three Steps. Same Discipline Either Way.
Trade real money the way you’d want to be trusted with someone else’s — tested first when you can be, honest about it when you can’t.
Skip the Hype. Do the Work. Earn the Edge.
Every Broker Lets You Buy. Few Ask Why.
Most Trading Apps
- A buy button and a stock chart. Nothing else.
- No record of what you were thinking, six months later.
- A tested strategy and a hot tip look identical.
- Momentum feels like conviction until it isn't.
VInvest Trade
- Every guided position traces back to a strategy tested in the Lab.
- Your thesis locks and timestamps the moment you buy.
- Trading on your own conviction is always allowed — never gated.
- "Am I wrong?" checks in when it matters, without demanding you sell.
Most trading apps make buying easy and stop there. VInvest makes buying just as easy — and makes sure that six months from now, you still know why you did it.
Strategy Builder
Graduating a Strategy Isn't a Metaphor.
Here's What It Actually Is.
“Graduate a tested strategy” means something specific: a buy signal, a sell signal, and a checklist, all configured by you, tested in the Lab with paper money, then pointed at real capital with one switch.
Set your own discount and quality floor — for example, only buy below 0.80× P/V, and only if V-Rating clears 65.
Tag the reason the discount exists — Sector Rotation, Earnings Overreaction, Macro Market Panic, or Temporary Liquidity Event — so you’re trading a specific thesis, not a number in isolation.
Set the exit before you need it — the exact P/V level or Goldline distance where the intelligence stops supporting the price.
Attach a checklist of your own diligence questions, so exiting is a decision you already made — not one you’re making under pressure.
Every open position — Test In Lab or Trade — is tracked against a Value Trap Monitor: which zone it’s in, and how many days it’s been there. Nothing forces a decision before its time — but nothing goes unwatched either.
Get Started
Trade However You're Ready.
