🧠 Massive AI Expansion: The Aggregator Era is Here
We've completely rewritten how VTX Macro connects to the world's best AI.
- First-Ever Aggregator Support: We are thrilled to officially launch native support for our first AI aggregators: OpenRouter and Venice AI. Instead of being locked into a few walled gardens, you can now seamlessly route your strategies through these massive decentralized networks directly from your dashboard.
- OpenRouter Optimization: To ensure reliability, we automatically filter OpenRouter's vast catalog to remove unsupported or low-quality free-tier options. You will only see premium models that are verified to handle complex system prompts and trading execution.
- Direct Provider Cap Removed: We've lifted the artificial limit of two models per direct provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI). The platform now automatically syncs with these providers to pull in every model they offer that is capable of system prompting and trading.
- Context Tags & Auto-Deprecation: With so many models now available, high-capacity versions are clearly tagged with their memory limits (e.g., "256k") right in the dropdown. Furthermore, the platform automatically detects and removes outdated or deprecated models so you are always using the latest tech.
📈 Smarter Automated Trading Controls
Your trading engine just got more resilient and easier to tune.
- Intelligent Risk Recovery: We've introduced a self-healing mechanic for your trading strategies. If your strategy hits a rough patch but manages to push your window’s net PNL back into positive territory, the system will automatically reset your maximum loss counts—allowing your winning bots to keep running without manual intervention.
- Finer Volatility Tuning: The AI Minimum ATR (Average True Range) controls have been significantly refined. You now have 50 granular steps between 0 and 10 to dial in the exact market volatility thresholds required before your bot enters a trade.
- Robust Safety Pauses: We've fortified the platform's execution safety switches (killswitches) to prevent false disconnections or dirty parameter resets when you temporarily pause a live strategy.
✨ A Premium, Mobile-Ready Interface
Managing your portfolio and AI routing should look and feel great, no matter what device you are on.
- Mobile-First Control Panels: Your system configuration and pricing panels have been completely redesigned for smartphones. We've replaced cramped tables with beautifully styled, responsive metric cards that perfectly fit your screen.
- Silky Smooth Interactions: Every single AI model dropdown and asset selector across the Trading and Insights panes has been upgraded with smooth sorting animations, auto-resizing popovers, and quick-reset buttons.
- Zero-Flicker Live Updates: We’ve transitioned our dashboard charts and critical system statuses to live, event-driven updates. This eliminates screen flickers and ensures you are looking at the exact state of the market the millisecond it changes.
🔐 Maximum Privacy & Cost Control
- Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) First: Privacy and control are paramount. New accounts now default directly to Bring-Your-Own-Key mode, streamlining the process of securely plugging in your own direct or aggregator credentials.
- Live Pricing Transparency: With hundreds of new models available, keeping track of API costs is crucial. The pricing UI now features dynamic, live-updating tables reflecting the exact cost-per-million tokens for every syncable model, complete with advanced multi-sort functionality and instant search.
