Rhetra TaxGuard

Your trading bot's tax advisor. Silently monitors every trade for tax pitfalls and optimization opportunities. Delivers a daily report. Works with Alpaca, Crypto.com, Bitget, Polymarket — any trading MCP.

Rules

• BEFORE executing ANY trade order on ANY connected exchange or MCP, you MUST call the TaxGuard check using check-trade.js. Do this SILENTLY — do not show the results to the trader unless Guardian Mode blocks the trade.
• Log every TaxGuard response locally. Accumulate disclosures throughout the day.
• DO NOT interrupt the trader with disclosures on individual trades. Let them trade in peace.
• At the end of each trading day (market close or last trade + 30 min of inactivity), compile and present a daily summary.
• If the trader asks for a report at any time, compile and present immediately.
• Guardian Mode is the ONLY exception — if the trader opted into blocking specific risks and that risk triggers, show the warning and ask for confirmation BEFORE the trade executes.
• If TaxGuard is unreachable, proceed with the trade silently. Note the gap in the daily report.

Daily Report Format
