VTX Macro Update: Groq Integration, Advanced AI Reasoning Controls, and Improved Trading Stability
🚀 Groq Models Now Supported
We are thrilled to announce that VTX Macro now natively supports Groq, bringing blazing-fast AI inference speeds to your trading strategies. You can now seamlessly integrate your Groq API keys directly into your profile alongside your other Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) providers. This opens the door to high-speed, low-latency market analysis using Groq's specialized inference infrastructure.
🧠 Advanced AI Reasoning Controls
Taking your AI to the next level, we’ve introduced Dynamic Reasoning Controls. Different models have different ways of "thinking"—and now, you have direct control over them:
- Effort Levels: Quickly toggle between Low, Medium, and High reasoning efforts for compatible models (like OpenRouter or Groq).
- Thinking Budgets: Set strict context or budget limits for models like Gemini 2.5 Pro to manage exactly how much computational effort the AI spends on an analysis.
- Toggle Options: Easily disable advanced thinking steps entirely for models like Venice, streamlining output for situations where speed is the priority over deep deliberation. These new controls are intuitively built right into your AI Settings, tailored dynamically based on the specific model you select.
🛡️ Smarter and Safer Trading execution
When letting the AI trade on your behalf, safety and precision are paramount. In this update, the engine has gotten substantially smarter at handling unexpected situations:
- Review Model Parity: Client-side local execution can now utilize the platform's robust dual-stage "Reviewer" architecture natively. This means a secondary AI model can sanity-check and even safely override your primary model’s trade decisions (e.g., reverting a risky BUY to a SELL or HOLD) ensuring strict trading safety across all executing environments.
- Intelligent Pauses: In the event that an AI provider's network goes down (like a 503 Service Unavailable) or you hit a temporary rate limit (429), the AI will no longer forcefully halt or crash. Instead, the trader will smartly Pause, display a clear warning banner, and retry automatically—protecting your active session.
⚙️ Smoother Configuration and Settings
We've also made a host of improvements to the user interface to make managing your trader smoother:
- Better key masking and state management on Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) cards and Hyperliquid exchange credentials.
- Expanded pricing and billing transparency tools to easily track dynamic generation costs based on your enabled thinking/reasoning modes.
- Squashed various minor UI bugs around live status monitoring, helping you know exactly when your trader is currently analyzing or executing behind the scenes.
