VERBATIM
SCRIPTABLE TRADING · EQUITIES + CRYPTO

Write the strategy.
Not a config file.

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.

LOG IN → Invite-only during beta.
$THE_LANGUAGE

This is the whole strategy.

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.

strategies/breakout_follow.script — illustrative
# 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.

$THE_PRIMITIVES

A taste of the surface.

Not an exhaustive reference — just enough to show the shape of it.

Exits

  • .stop_atr()ATR-scaled stop loss
  • .target_atr()ATR-scaled profit target
  • .trail_atr()trailing stop, ATR-scaled
  • .break_even()move stop to entry once ahead
  • .timeout()exit after N bars, regardless

Actions

  • Signal.buy() / .sell()long entries and exits
  • Signal.short() / .cover()equities, via Alpaca

Market read

  • ta.regime()continuous trend-strength score
  • ta.atr() / ta.bollinger()volatility & range
  • ta.sma()moving averages

Regime isn't just an indicator here — the same continuous score ranks every strategy across 1-day, 3-day, and 1-week windows before it's eligible to trade live.

$YOUR_ACCOUNT

Your broker. Your keys. Your money never touches us.
