eTrader AI Trader eTrader AI TraderBuild one, connect your eTrader accounts to it, and leave it running. Every few minutes it wakes, looks at the charts and the positions it has open, reads what is being said about the instruments you follow, thinks it over against everything it has seen before, and either takes a trade or waits. It writes down why, either way.
You set the rhythm: every few minutes, on every new candle, or only when the price actually moves.
On your schedule, or when something happens. It never sleeps through a session you told it to watch, and it costs you nothing while the market is shut.
Live prices, the candles on any timeframe, your indicators, your balance and every position it has open. The same numbers you would check yourself.
Put one model on X and another on the open web, and it finds out what is being said about your instrument before it decides anything.
Its own notes from every session before this one: what it saw, what it did, and how that turned out. A trader with no memory repeats yesterday's mistake.
Then it acts, or it does nothing. Doing nothing is a decision it is allowed to make, and it records that one too.
Every wake-up leaves a line you can read: what it looked at, what it concluded, and why it took the trade or left it alone.
One model reading a chart is a demo. A trader worth leaving alone asks more than one question at a time and then has to make a call.
Send the news to the model that is good at news and the chart to the model that is good at charts. Let a third weigh both against your positions.
Take a majority, a weighted vote or an average, and set how much agreement it takes before an order is allowed through.
Let a cheap model look first and only bring in an expensive one when the setup is worth it. Every step shows what it costs before you switch anything on.
An AI trader is not tied to one account. You build it once, then attach the eTrader accounts you want it to work.
Attach a demo account to watch it for a fortnight and a live one when you are convinced. Attach two live accounts with different sizes. Every account gets its own switch, so you can leave one running and pause another without touching the trader itself, and a change you make to the trader reaches all of them the next time it wakes.
All of that lives in eTrader AI Trader. This is the one place an AI trader is switched on and off; the terminal shows you the trades it placed, the same as it shows every other trade on the account.
You sign in with an eTrader ID, which is your own account with us rather than a trading account with a broker. Your AI traders belong to it, and you attach whichever trading accounts you want them to work. The same eTrader ID signs you in to eTrader Code.
An AI trader is not given the run of your account. You set what it may trade, how much of the balance it may risk on a position, how many it may hold at once, and when it must stop for the day. Those limits are checked before any order reaches your broker, not suggested to the model and hoped for.
Setting one up is a canvas: drag on what wakes it, what it looks at, which models it asks, the limits it must obey and the orders it may place, then join them up.
Blocks only connect where the connection makes sense, so a mistake shows up while you are drawing it rather than after your money is on the line. And you are not locked in: any AI trader can be opened in eTrader Code as ordinary Tide the day you want to edit it directly, or hand it to someone who does.
Save one and you get an .etai file: the whole trader, its wake-up schedule, the models it asks, its instructions and the limits it must obey. Keep it, back it up, move it to another eTrader account, or send it to someone else to open in their own eTrader AI Trader. Importing one is dragging the file in.
What is deliberately not in that file is your model keys and your memory of past sessions. Keys stay encrypted with your account, and the memory belongs to the trader running on your account, not to the copy you gave away.
Run it over history before it touches a live account. Testing is free, and testing a year does not cost you a year of model calls. Watch what it would have done, read the reasons it gave, change what you do not like, and run it again. Switch it on only when you are happy with it.
An AI trader can be wrong, and it can be wrong faster than you would be. Everything above is about making that visible and keeping it inside limits you chose, not about removing it.
Everything eTrader AI Trader will set up for you, you can build by hand today. eTrader Code opens in the browser and tests your strategy on real broker prices, and the Tide manual is a single page with a worked example for every part of it.
