Build strategies, connect supported exchange contexts, store supported credentials locally, run backtests, monitor positions, and operate Demo or Live Real strategy sessions.
Platform
One account. Three surfaces. One local-first trading workflow.
OttoTrader combines a Windows desktop workstation, a backend account and entitlement layer, and a website companion for downloads, billing, marketplace, tutorials, and Remote Trading Center access.
Create your account, manage security and billing, download the desktop app, browse the marketplace, access Seller Studio, read tutorials, and use Remote Trading Center.
Keeps account state, plans, trials, marketplace ownership, seller state, update manifests, RTC command records, backups, and Market Pulse data as backend truth.
Surface boundaries
Clear boundaries reduce ambiguity.
Website actions should not pretend to be direct exchange execution. Desktop actions should preserve local credential control, strategy context, and live/demo separation.
Supported exchange contexts
The desktop exchange matrix currently includes Binance, BingX, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, MEXC, Kraken, and Coinbase Advanced Trade. Availability may vary by market type, region, account permissions, exchange behavior, and OttoTrader release. Always treat the current desktop connection card, exchange-specific warnings, and validation state as authoritative.
Bounded website role
The website handles account, billing, downloads, marketplace, seller workflows, tutorials, Market Pulse, and guarded RTC command records. It does not hold exchange API secrets or execute trades directly.
Validation inside platform
Testing stays close to the strategy.
Scan the main testing tools quickly, then open the deeper checklist when you want the fuller research story.
Strategy validation
Use train/test splits, rolling validation, bounded walk-forward windows, Monte Carlo paths, robustness checks, and overfit warnings where supported.
Buyer-safe Public Reports
Public Reports are marketplace-facing and non-importable. They preserve evidence while omitting protected strategy internals and reconstruction data.
Lookahead audit
Use the lookahead audit to catch signals that accidentally rely on future information before they reach a demo, live, or marketplace workflow.
Private Full Reports
Full Reports are private review and retest artifacts. They may include importable context and must not be exposed publicly.
Backtesting realism
Model fees, slippage, spread, partial-fill assumptions, funding, liquidation behavior, and exchange-dependent limitations where supported.
Grounded AI
AI helps you move faster without hiding the validation step.
The AI layer drafts and explains strategy ideas while the builder, Code tab, and local tests keep the result accountable.
Turn ideas into drafts
Describe a setup in plain English and let the AI Assistant draft OttoTrader strategy JSON you can review and validate locally.
Revise and understand logic
Ask the assistant to refine strategy rules, compare alternatives, or explain the tradeoffs before you apply changes.
Export browser-AI instructions
Prefer not to connect provider keys? Export OttoTrader instructions and a priming prompt, use them in a browser AI session, then bring validated JSON back into Strategy Warehouse.
Expandable detail
Open the deeper layers only when you need them.
The platform stays easy to scan first and still gives serious traders the detail that matters.
Why OttoTrader
Most tools sell automation. OttoTrader helps you understand what you are operating.
Typical tool
Many hosted trading tools sell automation first.
OttoTrader
OttoTrader starts with a desktop strategy workstation for building, validation, monitoring, and controlled operation.
Typical tool
Many AI trading tools blur idea generation, signal claims, and execution.
OttoTrader
OttoTrader treats AI output as a reviewable draft that must match product rules and pass local validation.
Typical tool
Many backtesting pages stop at one attractive equity curve.
OttoTrader
OttoTrader keeps the research story visible: validation windows, sensitivity checks, realistic assumptions, reports, and live risk state.
Workflow
A clear path from idea to monitored operation.
Build the strategy, test it properly, use AI where it saves time, then keep the same logic in view when you run it in Demo or Live Real.
Build
Create strategies in Strategy Warehouse using the Visual Builder, Code Builder, imported OttoTrader JSON, or AI-assisted workflows.
Validate
Run manual backtests or broader automation research with fee, slippage, spread, funding, liquidation, Monte Carlo, walk-forward, and overfit assumptions where supported.
Operate
Use the desktop Live Trading workspace for Trade Setup, Chart, Active Strategies, Open/Closed Positions, and Demo or Live Real execution contexts.
Monitor
Use Dashboard and Remote Trading Center to review state, freshness, risk, and guarded commands while the desktop remains the final validator and executor.
Live control
Live trading stays connected to the research.
Carry the same strategy logic into demo or live trading instead of handing execution to a disconnected website or hosted account service.
Pause, resume, or stop strategies while keeping exchange, market type, mode, pair, and protection status visible.
Move stops to break-even, adjust protection where supported, and manage open positions without losing runtime context.
Keep Demo and Live Real workflows clearly separated in the Windows desktop app.
Next step
Download the desktop app when you are ready to build and validate.
The desktop app is where strategy building, backtesting, reports, exchange contexts, and Demo or Live Real controls come together.
