Tools for Traders
CGTU builds trading tools designed for people who actually trade — practical, fast, and built around how markets really work.
The problem
Every trader has rules. Position sizes, loss limits, exit points. Written down, rehearsed, believed in. And then a trade goes wrong, and those rules become suggestions.
It's not a strategy problem. It's a human problem. The same wiring that makes you competitive makes you want to fight back. One bad trade triggers another. Size goes up. Risk goes up. The hole gets deeper.
Most blown accounts aren't the result of bad strategy. They're the result of good strategy abandoned at exactly the wrong moment — when it cost real money to follow it.
Down $2,000 before noon. Instead of stopping, you double the size. The trade goes against you. Now you're down $6,000 and it's not even lunch. The logic felt sound in the moment — it never does from the outside.
A losing trade triggers frustration. Frustration leads to a faster, sloppier entry. That trade loses too. Now you're chasing. Each loss makes the next one more likely. The account doesn't blow up on the first bad trade — it blows up on the sixth.
Down on the day, you bump contracts from 5 to 20. It works — or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you've turned a manageable loss into a catastrophic one. If it does, you've trained yourself to do it again.
You knew by 11am it wasn't your day. But stopping felt like giving up. So you kept going. Three hours later, what could have been a $1,500 loss is now $12,000. The hardest trade to make is no trade at all.
Sentinel is a risk enforcement bot that connects directly to your Schwab account. It watches every position, every second the market is open. When something exceeds your limits — it acts. Not after you notice. Not after you decide. Immediately.
You set the rules when you're thinking clearly. Sentinel enforces them when you're not.
See how Sentinel works → Get started in the dashboard →Giving any third-party tool access to your brokerage account is a serious decision. We built Sentinel with that trust in mind — here is exactly how it works, with no vague reassurances.
Connecting Sentinel uses Schwab's official OAuth flow — the same mechanism used by any trusted app. You log in directly on Schwab's own login page. Your username and password never touch Sentinel at any point.
The Schwab API does not permit fund transfers. Sentinel can open and close positions, but it is technically impossible for it to withdraw, transfer, or move funds out of your account. This is a hard constraint enforced by Schwab, not a policy.
Every user's Schwab connection is stored and handled independently. No other user's Sentinel instance has any access to your account — not read access, not trade access, nothing.
Sentinel runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure — no shared hosting, no cheap VPS, no shortcuts. Your credentials and account data are not stored beyond what is required to maintain the API connection.
You can revoke Sentinel's access directly from your Schwab account settings at any time, completely independently of Sentinel itself. You do not need to contact us or do anything on our end. Your access, your revocation.
