Start with an idea — or ask the AI for one. Test it against real market history, improve it with AI, and run it with paper money until you're confident. Then connect your brokerage account and let BotStock watch the market and execute your strategy automatically — showing you exactly why it made every decision.
Your strategy. Your rules. AI working on them around the clock.

BotStock is an AI-powered trading platform that helps you discover, build, backtest, optimize and automate stock-trading strategies — starting with paper trading and moving to real money only when you're ready.
Ask the AI for strategy ideas that fit how you want to trade — and have it explain each one.
Describe a strategy in plain English, or define the rule yourself. Every line comes with an explanation.
See how it would have performed against real market history — and hear about it when a result is too good to trust.
Let AI search for better versions, and keep only the ones that hold up on data they were never tuned on.
Run it against the live market with practice money, for as long as you like.
Connect your brokerage account and promote a strategy to real trading when you decide it's ready.
Markets change. BotStock keeps re-testing your strategy as new data arrives, and brings you the improvements it can prove.
"I don't know what strategy to build" isn't a reason to stay out. The Strategy Coach is there from the first minute — and it gets out of the way just as easily.
Ask the Strategy Coach to explain how strategies work, suggest a few worth exploring, and write them up for you. It answers at the level you choose, and the library covers the rest — written for someone who has never placed a trade.
Describe your strategy the way you'd tell a friend. BotStock turns it into a rule you can test — exactly what you said, with a plain-words comment on every line so you can check it.
Take the controls. A strategy is plain JavaScript in a real editor, with the same indicators, exits, risk settings and backtester the AI uses — yours to write and change directly.
The AI isn't a chatbot bolted onto a broker. It reads your strategies, your trades and your decision records, and it does the jobs a good trading partner would: build, test, improve, run, explain.
Tell the Strategy Coach what you want, or ask it what's worth trying, and it writes the rule. Every line carries a comment saying what it means for the trade, so you can read what your strategy does without knowing what a function is. And if you do know, the rule is plain JavaScript in a real editor, yours to change.
See how your strategy would have done against real market history. A rule that only memorised the past will always look brilliant on the past — so BotStock holds back data it never trains on, scores the strategy on that, and tells you when a result is too good to trust.
Markets change. BotStock can re-test your strategy on a schedule, explore improved variations, and validate them against data they were never tuned on. When nothing beats the current rule it says so — finding nothing is a result. You review what changed and decide what gets promoted, every version is saved, and you can always go back.
Every strategy earns its way forward, and you're the one who moves it. Nothing reaches real money by accident.
A rule you can read, written by you or with the AI.
Does it say what I meant?
Scored on real history, including data it never trained on.
Does it hold up — honestly?
Real prices, practice money, no brokerage needed.
Have I watched it be right, and wrong?
The same strategy sends its orders to your own brokerage account.
Two separate switches — both yours.
The engine checks every strategy against the market throughout the session, sizes each position by the limits you set, and places the protective stop the moment a fill lands. Closing the tab changes nothing.
Approve each trade to begin with, then let it run once it has earned it — and move between the two whenever you like. One click halts new trades at any time.
Each tick, each signal, each "no" — and the reason. You don't have to watch it to trust it: when something surprises you, open the moment it happened and see exactly what the engine saw.
There's no signal feed to follow and no mystery algorithm to trust. The strategy is yours, and you can read it. When you ask the AI to shortlist symbols, it does it by backtestingyour rule against your watchlist and showing you the results it chose on — never an opinion of a stock, and you can undo it.
Think of BotStock as an always-on trading engine built around your strategies. Your broker holds your money. BotStock does the watching, testing, optimizing and executing.
Handing trades to software only makes sense if you know exactly what it can and can't do. These are built in, not promised.
Every account starts with imaginary money against real prices. You'll have watched a strategy be wrong a few times, on a record you can read, before it can touch a real account.
Approve every trade, or let the engine act and read the record afterwards — and move between them whenever you like. One account-wide setting wins over every strategy, one click halts new trades, and two separate switches guard real money. The AI can't touch any of them.
The engine acts on the rule you can read, sized by the limits you set, with a protective stop on every position. The AI can propose a better version; nothing replaces what's running unless you said it could.
Every sentence it writes comes from your own data — your strategies, your fills, your decision records — never its opinion of a stock, never the news. Anything it wrote is labelled, links to why, and runs inside a budget.
A brokerage token is encrypted the moment it arrives and is never shown again — to you or to anyone. BotStock is not a broker and never holds your money.
Neither — and both are welcome. Ask the Strategy Coach for ideas, or describe your own in plain words, and it writes the rule and explains every line. If you'd rather write it yourself, a strategy is JavaScript in a sandbox, and the editor, indicator library and backtester are yours to use directly. The library at app.botstock.ai/learn covers everything from what a strategy is to why win rate misleads, and it's written for someone who has never placed a trade.
No. There are no tips, no signal feed, and the AI never gives an opinion of a stock. You build the strategy; BotStock tests it, runs it and explains it. The one place the AI narrows down symbols is the shortlist, and only when you ask: it backtests your own rule against your own watchlist, keeps the symbols the rule has suited, shows you the results, and can be undone.
Not unless you've said it can. The optimizer works on copies: it tries variations, validates them on data they were never tuned on, and brings you the ones that genuinely improve. You review what changed and decide what gets promoted. Letting it promote on its own is a permission you grant, per strategy, and can take back.
No. The engine runs through the session whether or not you're signed in, and writes down every decision with its reason. If you want to see it work first, have it ask before each trade; when you're ready, turn that off and read the record instead. One click halts new trades at any time.
No and no. Every account starts on BotStock's own paper account — real prices, practice money, no brokerage needed. When you're ready, connect your own brokerage account (Tradier today) and the same strategies send their orders there. Your money stays with your broker. Your brokerage token is encrypted the moment you enter it and is never displayed again.
Only when you decide. Every account starts on paper — real prices, imaginary money — and can stay there as long as you like. Going live means connecting your own brokerage account and turning on two separate switches, one of which only you can turn on. You choose how much to hand over, from approving each trade to letting the engine run unattended.
Nothing during the alpha. We'll talk about pricing with the people who've been using it before anyone is asked to pay, and cancelling will always wind live trading down gracefully rather than closing your positions.
We're inviting a small group at a time so we can talk to each of them. Join the waitlist and you'll hear from us when a seat opens — and about nothing else. What's coming next: a morning brief in plain words, a second opinion from the advisor on every trade the engine proposes, and an evening debrief.
Invite only, paper first, and we read every reply. Leave your address and we'll send one email when it's your turn.
Thanks — check your inbox for one email asking you to confirm. You're on the list once you do.
That didn't go through. Please try again in a moment, or emailhello@botstock.ai and we'll add you.
