About
Built by a trader. Not around one trader.
AEGIS started because the tools split badly: platforms that execute but do not explain, and journals that explain but only after the session is over. Nothing sat beside the screen during the part that actually costs money.
The principle
No house style.
The person building this trades futures a particular way, and that is a hazard, not a credential. A product shaped around one trader's habits quietly tells everyone else they are doing it wrong.
So anything that could be a house style is a preference with a neutral default: your session timezone, your roll rule, RTH or ETH, FIFO or LIFO, what a trading day is, and what your daily loss is measured against. AEGIS should be able to describe how you trade without having an opinion about it.
Constraints
The three facts that shaped the product.
Each of these forced a design decision that would look strange without it, so they are worth stating rather than hiding.
Exchange data is licensed per person, and counted per device
The billable event is the ability to display a price. That is why AEGIS registers your devices, shows you the list, and holds exactly one upstream data session that feeds all of them.
App stores expect trading apps to come from financial institutions
AEGIS is not one, and does not pretend otherwise. It analyses and journals and cannot place an order — which is a design decision reflected in the code, not a disclaimer bolted on afterwards.
Describing is legal. Advising is regulated
AEGIS is not a registered investment adviser. Its output is validated to stay descriptive, so "rejected at VWAP" is in scope and "short the rejection" is not, and the difference is enforced rather than requested.
Status
Where it actually is.
In development, and not taking payment. The chart, the journal, the analysis layer, prop-firm rules, alerts, replay and the tax export are built. The Rithmic connection works; the other brokers are next. News and the economic calendar are designed and not yet written.
There are no users to quote, no trade counts to advertise and no reviews to show — and inventing any of them would be the fastest way to lose the only audience that matters here.
