Agent Control & Trade Management
Controlling agents while managing positions with complete authority.
While Agentical operates autonomously, you maintain complete control over every aspect of its operation. From starting and stopping the agent to manually closing positions, from adjusting strategy mid-flight to emergency interventions—this page covers all the control mechanisms that keep you in command of your automated trading system.

Control Best Practices
When to Intervene
Understanding when manual intervention makes sense versus trusting automation.
Intervention Guidelines:
Good Reasons to Intervene:
Major market-wide events (exchange hacks, regulatory news)
Personal liquidity needs arise unexpectedly
Strategy performing below expectations after 30+ trades
Testing different configuration approaches
Risk tolerance has changed due to external factors
Poor Reasons to Intervene:
One or two losing trades in a row (normal variance)
Position not hitting target fast enough (impatience)
Missing a huge pump you noticed manually (FOMO)
Seeing negative P&L during normal drawdown
Second-guessing the agent constantly
Intervention Impact Assessment:
Configuration vs Manual Management
Choose the right approach for different scenarios.
Decision Framework:
Multi-Agent Coordination

Your Command Authority
Agentical's automation serves you—not the other way around. Every control mechanism, from gentle pauses to emergency stops, ensures you remain the ultimate decision-maker. The agent executes your strategy with tireless consistency, but you retain complete authority to intervene, adjust, or override whenever circumstances warrant.
The key to effective control is balance: trust the automation enough to let it work, but stay engaged enough to recognize when intervention truly matters. Configure thoughtfully, monitor appropriately, and intervene purposefully. The controls are there when you need them, invisible when you don't, always ready to respond to your command.
