Stop-loss sync is where bots quietly die
2026-08-27 · VireEntry signals get all the attention. The boring failure mode is different: you are in a position, the protective order is missing, stale, or duplicated, and nobody notices until the candle that hurts.
What “sync” means
- After buy/sell, a reduce-only stop exists at the intended level
- After partial fills or manual tweaks, the stop still matches bot state
- After reconnects and restarts, the bot reconciles instead of assuming memory is truth
- Close paths cancel or flatten protective orders so you do not leave orphans
Why teams skip it
Demo day only needs an entry. Stops feel like venue UI work. Periodic reconciliation looks like over-engineering until the first incident report.
Minimum bar before live
- Dry-run shows stop intent in logs/status
- Live checklist includes “confirm stop on venue after first entry”
- Restart test: kill process, bring back, confirm no double risk
Vire Desk includes supervised live cutover partly for this class of check — not because entries are hard, but because leftovers are expensive.
