Broker guides
Six guides. The first block on each page loads the pack. Session hours are on the page. The desk series sits beside them: Build your trading desk in Grok Bot, and episode 1, the research desk.
Expert packs
Load the pack as operating rules. The traps and the order check are on the page.
AI agents for TradeStation
The prompt loads the pack as operating rules. It asks for account type, symbol, and size, then runs one sim round trip.
AlpacaAI agents for Alpaca
The prompt loads the pack as operating rules. Set the environment to paper, name the five traps, and run one paper round trip.
MKT.TRADEAI agents for MKT.TRADE
Ask for the symbol, the asset class, and the venue. Then one receipt, one ladder, and a stop.
Starter guides
Shorter prompts you can paste today. An expert pack for each of these is still being built.
AI agents for TradingView
Four prompts. You get an alert message and a journal line. An alert is not an order.
Starter guide, expert pack comingQuantConnectAI agents for QuantConnect
From a research cell to a paper alert. A backtest is not a track record.

Copy a test signal. Leave test set to true. The URL stays out of the chat.
Guardrails
What guardrails should an AI trading agent have?
What guardrails should an AI trading agent have? Hard limits the agent cannot write, a pre-trade check, a kill switch, a paper gate, a read-back, and a log.
Checked on 2026-10-20How to connect TradeStation to Claude (MCP setup)
TradeStation MCP data says Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus and a $10,000 balance. Its homepage says no account minimum. Both are quoted. Checked 2026-10-20.
Checked on 2026-10-17Webull MCP setup: uat vs prod before the first order
Webull's local MCP docs default to uat. The Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Kiro examples set prod.
Checked on 2026-10-20How do I connect an AI agent to Interactive Brokers?
Paper username first. The MCP drafts an instruction you submit. Read-Only blocks API orders until you clear it in the GUI.
Checked on 2026-10-20Can an AI agent trade through the Tradier API?
preview=true validates an order without sending it. Sandbox quotes are delayed 15 minutes. Pre and post are equity limit orders.
Checked on 2026-10-17How should an AI agent paper trade before going live?
The agent sends paper orders and you review every fill. Live waits on a written checklist: orders reviewed, no checker rejects, and every fill reconciled.
Checked on 2026-10-18How do I add a kill switch to an AI trading bot?
A kill switch sits outside the agent, in a flag or env var it can read and cannot write. Daily loss and order-count trips stop new orders. Test on paper first.
Checked on 2026-10-20Can ChatGPT or Claude place trades for you?
Checked Oct 2026. Some connectors let an agent submit an order, some only draft one, and some only read. Confirmation and a paper path vary by connector.
Checked on 2026-10-19Does Topstep allow automated trading bots?
Checked 2026-10-19. Topstep's API page allows a custom bot on simulated accounts, and says a Live Funded Account cannot use that API.
Checked on 2026-10-19When do select stock options trade early?
Checked 2026-10-19. Select stock options trade 7:30 to 9:25 a.m. and 4:00 to 4:15 p.m. ET. Limit only. Read today's list before the agent sends.
Checked on 2026-10-19Should I give an AI agent my brokerage password?
Checked 2026-10-19. No. Schwab and JPMorgan block AI agents that log in with your password. Use the broker's OAuth or MCP connection, read-only first.
Checked on 2026-10-19What is agentic trading?
Agentic trading is an AI agent with tools that researches, proposes, or places trades inside limits a human sets. You own the account and the kill switch.
Checked on 2026-10-20Add a pre-trade check to TradingAgents
Add a pre-trade check after TradingAgents returns its rating and before any broker call. A kill-switch file and a paper-first default sit outside the agent.
Free toolAgent Order Check
Paste the order your AI trading agent proposed. The check runs in your browser. The order stays on this page and is not sent.
Checked against the source
Which broker connectors can order?
Is the tastytrade MCP live by default? Yes. Unset TASTYTRADE_ENV is production, and the docs say every order there moves real money. Alpaca MCP defaults to paper.
Checked 2026-10-18Which of these firms allow a bot?
Apex and Take Profit Trader prohibit bots. Alpha Futures and Phidias prohibit a fully automated bot. The other rows are conditional.
Paper first. Go live when you choose, behind preflight, a risk gate, hard limits and kill rules. Not financial advice. We have no business relationship with any of these companies. Markdown index.
