AI workflows

Your AI subscription. OttoTrader's local research engine.

Use ChatGPT or Claude for research reasoning and strategy drafting while OttoTrader supplies the supported contract, local validation, and backtesting.

AI workflow

Two AI paths, one validation boundary.

Run iterative MCP research or create a focused strategy draft. Both paths return to OttoTrader's supported rules and local evidence.

  1. 01

    Choose the workflow

    Use MCP Research for iterative campaigns and local backtests, or export Strategy Builder instructions for a focused strategy draft.

  2. 02

    Use your AI subscription

    Work from ChatGPT or Claude with the provider plan and limits attached to your own account. OttoTrader does not resell AI tokens.

  3. 03

    Run locally

    MCP Research sends bounded research jobs to the authorized OttoTrader desktop. Exported instructions produce reusable strategy JSON for local import and validation.

  4. 04

    Validate before applying

    Builder checks, backtesting, Demo review, and your approval still decide whether the idea earns attention.

    AI is a tool in the workflow. It is not the operator.
Two ways to use AI

MCP campaigns or exported instructions.

Choose continuous research or focused drafting without connecting a paid provider API key inside OttoTrader.

MCP Research

Let AI iterate against local evidence.

Connect ChatGPT or Claude to the research-only MCP, approve a bounded campaign, and let OttoTrader execute its jobs on your desktop.

Strategy drafting

Export AI Instructions.

The Strategy Builder exports its supported schema and starter prompt. Give that package to your AI, then import the reusable JSON result.

Subscription cost

No OttoTrader token meter.

These workflows use your connected ChatGPT or Claude subscription. Provider plan limits still apply, but OttoTrader does not charge separate AI API-token fees.

Research

Connect MCP Research

Ask ChatGPT or Claude to create and monitor bounded campaigns that execute on your authorized desktop.

Draft

Export AI Instructions

Give your AI OttoTrader's current strategy contract and ask it for one reusable strategy JSON object.

Review

Local validation

The desktop app checks the contract before a strategy can be saved, tested, or used.

  "risk": "fixed_tp_sl",
  "status": "needs_local_validation"
}
Control boundaries

AI is useful because it has limits.

AI is strongest when it handles reasoning and iteration while OttoTrader keeps execution, validation, and protected strategy boundaries explicit.

No hidden autopilot

The app is not led by AI.

AI does not choose exchange accounts, secretly change live settings, or turn a prompt into capital deployment.

Protected logic

Marketplace internals stay protected.

Bought protected strategies expose only buyer-safe metadata, permitted tunables, and allowed explanations.

User review

You keep final authority.

AI drafts still need review, validation, Demo work, and the user's decision before Live Real operation.

Validation boundary

Generated JSON must obey OttoTrader rules.

Unsupported fields, invented modes, invalid payloads, and generic trading JSON are rejected or repaired before anything can be applied. AI can suggest the draft, but local product rules and validation decide whether it is usable.

Make every AI draft prove itself in validation.

OttoTrader keeps AI useful by making generated strategies pass through the same evidence-building workflow as any other idea.
