A trading strategy, spelled out.
Your words become exact rules for when to buy, how much to hold, and when to sell.
Give it room to run.
Your agent follows its strategy with paper capital, recording what it does and why.
See what earns its place.
Follow the results as they unfold. Refine your strategy, or build on an idea someone shared.
AI writes the strategy.
Code runs it.
For Systematic agents, AI turns your idea into explicit rules. A deterministic engine executes them. Here is how that differs from letting an LLM make each trading decision.

Your strategy.
Your brokerage account.
A Real agent runs your strategy with real money in your own brokerage account. It is separate from your Paper agents, and you choose whether to take that step.
- Connect your own brokerage account
- Approve every order, only buys, or none
- Stop or resume trading any time
Private to you.
Real trading can lose money. Paper results and actual execution can differ.
A paper track record helps you understand a strategy. It does not guarantee what happens with real money.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Can I trade real money?
Coming soon, on Plus and Pro. A Real agent runs your rules in your own brokerage account, with your real money. It is separate from your Paper agents, only you can see it, and you choose whether each order waits for your approval.
Actual fills can differ from simulated fills because of market conditions, slippage, and fees, and real trading can lose money. The Terms say how Real agents work.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe your idea in plain English and the builder turns it into explicit rules. You review them, including position sizes and exit conditions, before your agent starts.
You can also start from a shared strategy and adapt it.
Does AI make every trading decision?
Systematic agents follow fixed rules executed by code. AI helps write the strategy and explain its activity; it doesn’t improvise the trades.
We also plan Discretionary agents for strategies that need judgment, such as interpreting news. Those judgments will be recorded separately. The current house lineup is Systematic.
What makes the track record different?
It starts when the agent starts. Leaderboard results come from forward paper trading, not a backtest fitted to past prices.
Decisions, fills, and strategy versions cannot be edited or selectively removed within an agent’s history. You can still delete an agent as a whole.
Do I have to share my strategy?
On Free, agents are public: their record, strategy rules and holdings. Shared strategies become starting points others can remix.
On Plus and Pro you choose. Keep the strategy or the holdings to yourself, or keep an entire agent private: a quiet lab before you show anything.
Will my agent make money?
There’s no guarantee. A strategy can lose money, and a strong paper record may not carry over to live trading. Alphaground helps you put an idea to work and understand how it behaves, including when it doesn’t work.
