In semi-auto every entry and exit waits for a human click. This covers where waiting trades surface, what an approval card tells you before it asks, the gates and caps you configure, and why mechanical exits are never blocked by a protection.

In semi-auto the agent does all the work and none of the deciding. Every entry and every exit arrives as an order intent that sits in a queue until you approve it. This is where most people should stay, and there is no pressure in the product to move past it.
Waiting trades find you in three places: a card at the top of the briefing, a count in the browser tab title, and the notification bell, which is a persistent inbox of every alert the app has sent. Email and push links land you directly on the queue after sign in. If you ever cannot find something to approve, the bell is the place to look.
Each card explains the setup before it asks for anything. The structure and strikes, the credit against the width, the confidence score with its subscores, and any warnings the engine attached. One worth knowing: when implied volatility says a strike is safely far out while the recent tape has been trading that level, the card carries an amber warning saying so. When those two disagree, trust the tape.
Everything the agent applies is a rule you set. The days-to-expiry band, the delta range on the short leg, floors for open interest, volume and quote width, a minimum credit against width, and an earnings blackout so no expiry spans a print. Then the caps: a maximum share of agent capital per trade, a maximum total open risk, and one position per symbol. The settings panel shows the sizing arithmetic live as you change it, so you can see what a larger lot size actually commits before you save it.
Exits are mechanical and evaluated every minute the market is open. Take profit at half the entry credit, a time exit, a stop, and a forced close near expiry. Exits are never gated by anything. Kill switches exist for a daily loss cap, repeated broker rejects, and a reconciliation mismatch, and any of them shows a red trading disabled banner that only you can clear. But they stop new activity only. Risk reduction always fires. A protection in this product can never trap a position you already have open.
