Why people choose to start here

Who this probably isn't for

Being upfront about this saves everyone time. If any of the following describes you, a different route will suit you better.

• You expect guaranteed returns. No honest platform offers them, and we will not pretend to.
• You plan to invest money you cannot afford to lose.
• You already trade at professional volume with your own execution setup.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you put in. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

What Chattelance gives you that a do-it-yourself account does not

• Order status logged to the second. Chattelance keeps a persistent connection to each supported market. When a signal fires, the fill is confirmed and written to your dashboard before the next price tick.
• Monitoring continues outside market hours. The engine keeps scanning through evenings, weekends and holidays, so a setup is never missed while you are offline.
• Reporting in your own currency. Deposits, trades and withdrawals display in pounds throughout, with no separate conversion screen to check.
• Your capital stays in your name. Funds sit in segregated accounts under your account holder name. Chattelance never takes custody, it only has permission to route orders you approve.
• Security checks run in the background. Two-factor authentication, encrypted sessions and independent infrastructure reviews happen quarterly, with each trade receipt kept in an auditable log.
• Three asset classes from one login. Stocks, commodities and forex sit side by side, so diversification across a portfolio does not mean juggling separate accounts.
• Risk limits set before you trade. Stop-loss levels and maximum drawdown per position are agreed with your analyst in advance. Any breach closes the position automatically and appears in your activity log.
