22 platforms · 6 readiness axes · updated 13 Sep 2026
Most platforms let you trade. Few let an agent trade.
Every trading platform advertises automation. What separates them is whether software you did not write — a model, a bot, an agent — can actually read the book, size a position, place the order and be shut off in one call. We scored 22 of them on exactly that, then built a matcher that reads your intent in plain English.

Agent lab
Say it in a sentence. See the agent it becomes.
This is the part people skip. An agent is not "a bot" — it is a mandate, a data feed, a signal, a risk envelope, an execution path and a kill switch. Write a strategy the way you would say it out loud and the lab drafts all six against the platform you pick, naming its real API surface.
That plan can be running against a sandbox this week. Paper first, on the platform you picked above — no live money until you have watched it handle a rejected order.
Try it
Paper first. From $9.99 a month.
One agent, one platform connection, running against a sandbox with live prices and real rejections. You see every decision it makes — including the ones where it chose to stand still. Move to a funded or live account only once you have seen enough.
