Straight answers about ZepTrader, Zep Automation, Zep AI, pricing and risk. No fine-print surprises.

What is ZepTrader?

ZepTrader is a trading-technology software company with two products: Zep Automation (systematic trading automation) and Zep AI (AI-powered trading intelligence). Our brand line is AUTOMATE. ANALYZE. IMPROVE. — automate the system, analyze what actually happened, improve the process over time.

What is Zep Automation?

Zep Automation is systematic trading automation: rules-based execution, backtesting, simulation, charts, orders and positions. Every order passes through a centralized risk layer — kill switch, daily loss limits and position caps — before it can be placed. PRO includes 1 Zep Automation; ELITE includes capacity for up to 5.

What is Zep AI?

Zep AI is the paid trading-intelligence workspace inside ZepTrader. It explains synchronized trading activity, completed trades, calculated performance, journal context and risk status. Zep AI explains and analyzes — it does not predict markets, change risk controls or trade autonomously.

What do I get with PRO vs ELITE?

PRO — $97/mo: 1 Zep Automation plus Zep AI, covering execution, simulation, backtesting, analytics and risk controls. ELITE — $197/mo: capacity for up to 5 Zep Automations plus Zep AI. Both plans include the full platform: charts, orders, positions, journal, analytics and the centralized risk layer. The difference between the plans is automation capacity, not features.

When do I see the exact details of each automation?

Inside your entitled account. Full automation details — including the precise rules each automation follows — are visible in the dashboard once your subscription is active, so you always know exactly what your automations can and cannot do.

What does "simulation-first" mean?

Every automation is validated in simulation first. Backtesting, simulated trading, analytics and journaling all work from day one, so you can develop and verify your process without putting money at risk. Simulation-first does not remove risk — it gives you a way to evaluate a system before capital is on the line.

What risk controls are built in?

A kill switch, daily loss limits and position caps, enforced server-side between every automation and every order. One toggle in Risk settings engages the kill switch and no new orders are accepted — period. Nothing bypasses the risk layer.

How does pricing work?

PRO is $97/mo or $194 for the 3-month cycle. ELITE is $197/mo or $394 for the 3-month cycle. Plans are billed according to the plan and billing cycle selected at checkout.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing. You keep full access until the end of your current billing period. Your data (journal, backtests, settings) is retained.

Is this financial advice?

No. ZepTrader is a software platform. Nothing here — including anything produced by Zep AI — is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.

Will this make me money?

No one can promise that, and we don't. Trading futures and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. ZepTrader provides infrastructure for systematic trading — automation, analysis and risk controls — but makes no guarantee of profit or freedom from loss. Read the Risk Disclosure before subscribing.
