How Q2 went for Vela

announcement

Q2 was shaped by war in the Middle East. Oil and gold whipsawed on every headline. Bitcoin fell 14%, and the S&P climbed the same 14% on strong tech and industrials earnings. Vela finished the quarter up 4%, positive every month, across 207 trades on 27 assets spanning crypto, equities, commodities, and indices.

πŸ“¬

More reliable daily briefs

fix

Rewrote how Vela fetches price data for daily briefs. Batch requests replaced individual calls, fixing a 5-day delivery gap and cutting brief generation time significantly.

Friday, June 19, 2026

⚑

Breaking news alerts: faster delivery

improvement

Fixed a timeout that was delaying breaking news Telegram alerts during high-traffic periods. News now routes through a faster classification path.

Thursday, June 18, 2026

πŸ”€

Self-healing LLM routing

improvement

Added a circuit breaker to Vela's AI pipeline. When a model provider degrades, requests automatically route to a fallback. Fewer brief outages during provider downtime.

Sunday, June 14, 2026

πŸ›οΈ

Economic calendar powered by FRED

improvement

Migrated Vela's economic event data (CPI, NFP, PPI) to the Federal Reserve's FRED API. More reliable source, no rate limits, better coverage of the events that move markets.

Saturday, June 13, 2026

πŸ’°

Faster deposit notifications

fix

Fixed a timing gap that could delay deposit notifications by up to 20 minutes. Deposits are now detected within one cron cycle, and duplicate notifications are prevented.

Tuesday, June 9, 2026

πŸ›‘οΈ

Improved trailing stops for equities

fix

Fixed an issue where trailing stop-loss orders on equity builder perps could accumulate instead of replacing the previous one. Cleaner position management across all stock and index assets.

πŸ”€

HYPE routes to native perps

improvement

HYPE long positions now route through native perpetual contracts instead of spot. Better execution, native trigger orders for take-profit and stop-loss, less slippage.

🧠

Smarter signal engine for BTC

improvement

Disabled a signal strategy on BTC that was hitting stop-losses too often (55.6% rate in its first ungated week). Vela now uses only proven strategies for Bitcoin signals.

Wednesday, June 3, 2026

⚑

Faster signal processing

improvement

Parallelised the 4-hour signal run with a concurrency cap of 5. Batch 1 (11 assets) now completes in 38 seconds, down from 100+. No more silent notification drops from timeouts.

Monday, June 1, 2026

πŸ–₯️

Dell and BlackBerry now on Vela

feature

Two new equities just landed: Dell Technologies (DELL) and BlackBerry (BB). 24/7 signals, AI analysis, and the same coverage you get on every other asset.

Saturday, May 30, 2026

πŸ”§

More reliable news in briefs

fix

Fixed a memory issue where fetching all news sources simultaneously could crash the brief generator. News sources now load in controlled batches.

Friday, May 29, 2026

πŸ“¨

More reliable notifications

fix

Decoupled Telegram and email notification delivery. A failure in one channel no longer silently drops the other. Every trade proposal now logs an audit trail.

🎯

Spot take-profit fix

fix

Fixed take-profit execution on spot positions. Spot assets now use Vela's position monitor for ladder exits instead of native trigger orders, which Hyperliquid does not support on spot.

Thursday, May 21, 2026

πŸš€

Faster signals across all assets

improvement

Parallelised the signal engine so all assets process concurrently instead of one by one. Signal delivery is now 2-3x faster, especially for assets later in the queue.

πŸͺ™

Zcash (ZEC) added

feature

ZEC is now on Vela with full 24/7 monitoring, signals, and AI analysis.

Monday, May 18, 2026

feature

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

πŸ†•

Six new markets added

feature

Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOGL) and Meta (META) round out Big Tech alongside Apple, Nvidia and Amazon. Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) cover the memory and storage trade. Natural gas (NATGAS) joins gold and oil in commodities. Same coverage as the rest of the lineup: 24/7 monitoring, plain-English signals when something moves, one tap to act long or short.

improvement

Asset-level controls let Vela pause entries on specific assets during high-risk events while keeping other trades active.

πŸ“±

Install Vela as an app

feature

A new install prompt makes it easy to add Vela to your home screen on any device. Feels like a native app, works like the web. Best of both.

Wednesday, April 1, 2026

πŸ›‘οΈ

Monthly security audit completed

improvement

Completed a full security review across all edge functions and financial flows. All HIGH and MEDIUM findings addressed. Details in the security changelog.

Monday, March 30, 2026

⚑

Prices from Hyperliquid

improvement

All price data now comes directly from Hyperliquid instead of CoinGecko. Faster, more accurate, and one less external dependency.

Wednesday, March 25, 2026

🎨

Position cards, redesigned

improvement

Open positions now show direction, entry price, PnL, and quick-trade actions in a cleaner layout. More information, less clutter.

Thursday, March 19, 2026

⚑

Circuit breakers that reset themselves

improvement

Daily loss limit breakers from the previous UTC day now auto-resolve instead of requiring manual intervention. One less thing to worry about.

πŸ”’

Notification privacy fix

fix

Fixed an issue where admin diagnostic messages could appear in user Telegram channels. Notifications are now strictly scoped to the intended recipient.

πŸ“‰

SHORT is SHORT

improvement

Bearish signals now say "SHORT" instead of "SELL" everywhere. It is more accurate, and means exactly what it sounds like: Vela thinks this asset is heading down and is proposing a short position.

Friday, March 13, 2026

πŸ“§

Subscription emails that actually help

improvement

Ten lifecycle emails now keep you in the loop: welcome, trial reminders, payment confirmations, and more. They are short, useful, and easy to unsubscribe from.

Thursday, March 12, 2026

πŸ””

Failed proposals show as toasts

improvement

Trade proposals that could not execute now show a brief notification instead of a persistent card. Less clutter on your Trades page.

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

πŸ””

Trade proposals front and center

improvement

Pending trade proposals now show up on your Trades page with a banner so you never miss one. Because a signal is only useful if you see it.

πŸ“°

News in every brief

improvement

Asset briefs now include the latest relevant news with direct links to sources. No more guessing what is driving a move.

Monday, March 9, 2026

⏱️

30-minute signal updates

feature

πŸ“Š

Signal history on every asset

feature

Every asset page now shows its full signal history. See when signals changed, what triggered them, and how they played out. Transparency is the whole point.

Saturday, February 28, 2026

πŸ‘‹

Returning users get a proper welcome

improvement

If you have already signed up, /login now shows a clean welcome screen instead of making you walk through onboarding again. Small thing, big difference.

Saturday, February 21, 2026

πŸš€

Your trades, your wallet

feature

Trade execution is live on Hyperliquid. Vela proposes, you approve, and your funds never leave your wallet. Because "trust me bro" is not a custody model.
