About Kiritsu
Kiritsu is an execution discipline terminal for crypto derivatives traders — trading software that enforces a trader's own risk rules at the moment of execution, so breaking them is structurally harder than following them.
The name
Kiritsu is Japanese — 規律 — meaning discipline, rules, order. It is the whole thesis in one word: you don't lose because you pick wrong, you lose because you don't follow your own plan. Kiritsu is the terminal that won't let you.
What it does
Kiritsu sits between the trader and their exchange. It computes position size from a risk budget (a percent of account per trade, derived from entry and stop — size is an output, never a guess), requires a stop-loss on every trade, and enforces daily and weekly loss limits plus a locked mode in real time. Risk-reducing actions are always available; risk-increasing actions are gated. Leverage is bounded so the liquidation price always sits beyond the stop.
What it is not
Kiritsu is non-custodial. It never holds a trader's funds and never executes or settles trades — the trader's own exchange does that. It gives no signals, price predictions, or investment advice. Connection is through the exchange's own trade-only API keys with withdrawals disabled; the exchange remains responsible for execution, settlement, and account eligibility.
