When 73% of trades are done by algorithms
What it really means for the self-directed trader — and why it changes how setups should be analysed.
An AI-powered research platform with elite human oversight. Sentinel surfaces equity setups across the U.S. large-cap market — and a quantitative desk reviews every one before it reaches your dashboard.
Seventy-three percent of U.S. equity trades are now executed by algorithms running inside the world's largest institutional firms. Meanwhile, the everyday self-directed trader is still scanning charts by hand, reading the same news everyone else reads, reacting to setups long after the institutions have already moved.
A human trader working alone can track a handful of stocks well. The gap keeps widening every year — and it's the single biggest reason self-directed traders feel like they're always one step behind.
Advantage doesn't go to the smartest analyst. It goes to the system that sees it first.
Until now, there was no equivalent built for everyone else.
Markets that used to reward careful, manual analysis now reward systems. Sentinel was built to close that gap — bringing the kind of research engine that institutions rely on to the self-directed trader, with human oversight on top.
For fifty years, the tools that make institutional traders successful were locked behind eight-figure minimums. We unlocked them.— The Sentinel mission
The engine surfaces. The desk reviews. You decide. Speed without judgment is reckless. Judgment without speed is too late. Sentinel pairs both.
Continuously evaluates over one hundred thousand data points per second across the U.S. large-cap universe — price action, volume, sector behaviour, macro indicators, and pattern recognition the human eye can't track in real time.
A team of specialists with decades of combined hedge-fund experience reviews every setup the engine surfaces. Nothing reaches your dashboard until a person has signed off — context, news, risk all weighed.
Every approved setup lands on your dashboard with full context — what the engine saw, why the desk approved it, the levels that matter. Your account, your name, your decision. Sentinel never holds client funds.
Asher Walk is a U.S. Navy veteran who spent his career on the quantitative side of Wall Street. As a lead algorithmic strategist at one of the world's top quantitative trading firms — eight-figure client minimums, years-long waiting list — he built the decision-support systems institutional traders rely on every day.
Six years ago he set out to bring that same technology to the self-directed trader. Sentinel is the result.
Sentinel's clients are careful, deliberate people. Many spend weeks researching the company before they join. These are their words, exactly as published on Trustpilot.
Checked the company registration. Checked the platform regulation. Read every review. Spoke to the team. Everything checked out. Five months later I can confirm it's all legitimate.
Spent three weeks digging into Sentinel before I put a dollar in. I've held money at three of the biggest wealth management firms in the country. The risk management is institutional quality.
Plenty of AI trading tools out there. The difference here is professional humans watching everything on top of the algorithm. That matters.
Full transparency. Every position the AI takes is visible on my dashboard in real time. No hidden fees, no mystery trades.
The sales process was refreshingly low pressure. Nobody pushed me. They explained how it works, answered my questions, and let me decide on my own timeline.
Emailed support five or six times. Every single time, a proper reply within hours. Not a template — an actual helpful answer. You can tell real people work there.
