Tradetron · MCP connector
Build and backtest trading strategies from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Yes, an AI assistant can build and backtest a trading strategy for you. Tradetron publishes an MCP connector: paste one URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor or Codex, sign in with your Tradetron account, and describe the strategy. It is built in your account, backtested on market history and ready to run in Live Offline. Connecting is free, and it never places an order.

01 · What you can ask
You describe it. The AI does the building, testing and checking.
[ 01 ]
Build a strategy
Every keyword is looked up and every field validated before anything is saved, so a leg
or a stop is never silently dropped.
- "NIFTY weekly short straddle, exit at 30% profit"
- "Buy CE when RSI is under 30, exit at 2% or 3:15 pm"
[ 02 ]
Backtest and compare
Run a backtest from the chat and get the full report link back. Sweep a parameter or compare
two versions side by side.
- "Backtest it from January 2022"
- "Try stop losses of 20, 30 and 40%"
[ 03 ]
Change and diagnose
Change one leg without rebuilding the strategy, and find out why a deployed strategy did or
didn't trade from its engine and broker logs.
- "Add a hedge leg to set 2"
- "Why didn't my straddle trade this morning?"

04 · Questions
Before you connect.
Can ChatGPT or Claude build a trading strategy for me?
Yes, with the Tradetron connector. You describe the rules in plain English and the AI builds them as a real strategy in your Tradetron account, checks every field, and can backtest it from the same chat. Without a connector, an AI can only write code that you then have to run yourself.
What is an MCP server?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI apps use to reach outside services. Tradetron publishes one at https://mcp.tradetron.tech/mcp. You add that address to your AI app once, sign in with Tradetron, and its tools are available in every chat.
Is the Tradetron MCP connector free?
Connecting is free. The thinking runs on the AI subscription you already pay for. Backtests, deployments and other actions you run through it are charged at your usual Tradetron fees, the same as on the website.
Can the AI place trades with my money?
No. It can build, backtest, edit and explain strategies, and deploy them in Live Offline, which runs on live prices without sending any order. Going live stays with you, on Tradetron.
Which AI apps work with it?
Claude (every plan, including Free), ChatGPT (Business, Enterprise and Edu today; the one-click Tradetron app is in OpenAI's review), Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, VS Code, Antigravity, Grok and any other app that can add a remote MCP server. Step-by-step guides: tradetron.tech/mcp/claude and tradetron.tech/mcp/chatgpt.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the strategy in words. It is built as a normal Tradetron strategy that you can open, read and change in the Strategy Builder.
Is my Tradetron account safe?
You sign in on Tradetron's own page, so the AI app never sees your password. Every tool works only on your own account, and you can remove the connector from your AI app at any time.

Risk disclosure. Backtested and simulated results are hypothetical, are generated with the benefit of hindsight, do not represent actual trading and are not indicative of future results. Trading in securities and derivatives carries a substantial risk of loss. Tradetron is a software platform, not an investment adviser; the AI does not give buy or sell advice.
