Verbatim is a scripting language for trading strategies — real conditions, real indicators, real exits. Your own Alpaca account for equities, your own Robinhood account for crypto.
No blocks to drag. No config file pretending to be logic. Just the conditions and exits a trader would actually describe out loud — written down, not dragged into place.
# 15m equities, trend-following breakout def run(ctx): regime = ta.regime(ctx.bars) sma20 = ta.sma(ctx.bars, 20) if regime.trend_strength > 0.35 and ctx.last().close > sma20.current: return Signal.buy().stop_atr(2).trail_atr(1.5).timeout(40) if ctx.position and regime.trend_strength < -0.2: return Signal.sell() return None
So easy, ChatGPT can write a winning script.
Not an exhaustive reference — just enough to show the shape of it.

Trades execute directly through your own Alpaca or Robinhood account — Verbatim is never in a position to hold your funds.
Verbatim is opening gradually to a small cohort while the platform hardens. If you have an invite link, it'll take you straight to registration — otherwise, log in below if you already have an account.
