I was spending 6 hours a day watching charts for my TopStep eval. I described my exact strategy to Runbook, backtested it, and let it run. Passed my $50k account in 6 days.

Two Ways To Trade

// CHOOSE YOUR MODE

Mode 01

Autopilot

Design it together. Backtest. Forward-test. Ship only when the evidence agrees.

  • Describe the idea — AI drafts a script with you, not for you
  • Backtests apply real slippage + commissions (no frictionless fantasy)
  • Forward-test against live market data with paper trading
  • Iterate until backtest and forward-test agree
  • Then deploy — with hard risk limits enforced 24/5

Mode 02

Journal

You trade. We track everything. No more guessing what went wrong.

  • Trade manually on your broker as usual
  • Real-time rule adherence checking
  • Behavioral alerts: revenge trades, tilt, size creep
  • AI compares your P&L to your strategy's bot
  • End-of-session report with actionable insights

01 · While You Trade

Live pattern detection

Every fill is checked against your rules the instant it happens. Revenge trading 45 seconds after a loss? Averaging down on a loser? Position too large? You see it immediately — not at the end of the day when it's too late.

You vs. your strategy

While you trade, a forward-test bot runs your codified strategy in parallel. At the end of each session, see exactly how your discretionary decisions stacked up against perfect rule execution. The gap between the two is your edge leak.

One English description. Backtested across five years, forward tested live, then executed on your broker — with the exact same logic running every step.

“So it's just another trading bot?”

// NO. HERE'S WHY.

Trading bots

Someone else's static strategy running on your account. Black-box signals, no way to audit the code, no way to change it. Markets shift, the bot doesn't — it keeps firing the same setup into a regime it was never built for, until the drawdown forces you to pull the plug.

Runbook

Not a strategy — a system for building and maintaining them. You describe how you want to trade, the AI codifies it, you review every line. When the market changes, you iterate: refine the rules, re-backtest, redeploy. You own the logic, the tools, and the loop that keeps the strategy alive.

Trading journals

Manual logging after the fact. Screenshot your entries, tag your emotions, write a recap at the end of the day. Useful in theory, abandoned by week two because it's tedious and retrospective.

Runbook

Automatic. Every fill, every rule check, every behavioral pattern — captured the instant it happens. You get an AI report at the end of each session, not a blank text box. And the forward-test bot shows what perfect execution would have earned.

Before You Sign Up

// THE TWO QUESTIONS EVERYONE ASKS — HONEST ANSWERS

Question 01

“Is this AI trading?”

No — and that's the whole point.

Your strategy runs as plain, deterministic rules — the same way every time, auditable line by line, with no black-box model placing trades on your account. The AI only shows up where it belongs: sitting with you while you build, refine, and stress-test the strategy in conversation. Once you're happy with it, it's just code. Predictable. Reviewable. Yours.

Where AI lives

In conversations. Helping you design, refine, and pressure-test strategy ideas.

Where it doesn't

On your account. Trades execute as deterministic code, every fill reviewable.

Question 02

“Will this make me rich overnight?”

No. If someone promises that, they're selling you something.

Runbook doesn't hand you an edge — it hands you the tools to find one. Turn ideas into code without learning to code, backtest across years of data, forward test live, and spot the gaps a human eye would miss. Your results still depend on your thinking, your conversations with the AI, and the market. What you get is leverage: faster iteration, tighter feedback, and fewer trades lost to emotion.
