Zero fund custody.
Your money never leaves your brokerage account. The software has no deposit, withdrawal or transfer feature.
Non-custodial options execution suite
Rules-based options trading apps.
Executed in your own brokerage account.
Options apps for SPX and US stock options. You set position size and risk limits; each app enters and exits by its own rules with bounded limit orders in your account. Trade Agents never holds your funds.
YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR RULES
What we can do. What we can't.
Connecting a broker is a real decision.
Here is what an app can and can't do.
Hard size caps.
You set contract size within the maximum approved for your account. Limits are re-checked before every order.
Entry kill-switch.
Stop new entries at any time. Exits for open positions keep running, so no leg is left unmanaged.
Encrypted broker tokens.
Your access token is encrypted when you save it. Only the separate broker service can decrypt it.
Bounded limit orders.
Apps never send market orders. An unclear broker response is reconciled with the broker, not resent.
Full record in your desk.
Orders, order states, fills and closed positions are recorded and shown in your own desk.

HOW IT COMPARES
Rules-based apps vs. relays and alerts.
What happens to an order
when something goes wrong.
| Dimension | Trade Agents apps | Generic webhook relay | Manual / alert-only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order type | Bounded multi-leg limit orders | Often market or single-price orders, forwarded as received | Entered by hand; price depends on how fast you act |
| Unclear broker response | Checked with the broker before anything is resent | Often resent or dropped; duplicates possible | You check the broker yourself |
| Stopping | Halts new entries; exits keep running | Disconnecting usually stops everything, exits included | Manual |
| Custody and keys | Non-custodial; token encrypted, read only by a separate broker service | Non-custodial; key storage varies | Non-custodial; no broker connection |
| Strategy scope | Purpose-built apps: 0DTE SPX iron fly, earnings IV crush | Generic; you write and maintain the logic | Alerts or ideas only |
FAQ
Custody, execution and control, answered.
How do Trade Agents apps trade options without taking custody of funds?
They place orders through your own brokerage account’s API, using an access token you connect. Your cash and positions never leave your broker, and Trade Agents has no feature to deposit, withdraw or transfer money.
The token is encrypted when you save it and only a separate broker service can decrypt it. Trade Agents is software, not a broker or adviser: your broker holds and clears your account, and nothing on the site is investment advice.
What is IronFly Copilot?
IronFly Copilot is a Trade Agents app that trades same-day (0DTE) SPX iron butterflies in your account. It assesses conditions through the session, can open several defined-risk iron flies within your limits, manages each one to an exit, and is flat by the close.
Every entry is checked against the strategy rules, your open positions and your exposure limits, and orders are always bounded limit orders. Live trading is invite-only.
How are partial fills and unclear broker responses handled?
An unclear broker response is reconciled, not resent. Every order is recorded before it is sent and carries a tag, so if the broker accepts an order but the reply is lost, the app finds it at the broker instead of submitting a duplicate.
Partial fills are recorded at their exact quantities and prices, and the position is managed from what actually filled. Anything that does not match the broker is flagged for review rather than guessed.
What happens to open positions if I stop an app?
Stopping blocks new entries only. Exits for positions that are already open keep running under the app’s rules, so a stop never leaves legs unmanaged.
You can stop new entries at any time from your desk, and an entry cannot slip through after you stop.
What is the difference between IronFly Copilot, Earnings Edge and Flygonal?
IronFly Copilot trades same-day SPX iron butterflies and is flat by the close. Earnings Edge opens defined-risk calendar spreads on stocks reporting earnings overnight and closes them the next morning. Flygonal, a multi-day SPX structure, is still in research.
IronFly Copilot is an invite-only pilot and Earnings Edge runs on paper accounts. Flygonal is being backtested and paper tested and does not trade.
How do paper trading and live trading work?
Paper and live are enabled separately for each account by the Trade Agents team, and each uses its own access token. Creating an account does not grant trading access, and live trading is invite-only.
Paper results are simulated and do not predict live results. Before connecting any broker you accept the Terms of Service, and every app can be stopped at any time from your desk.
Risk disclosure
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. You can lose money, and losses can happen quickly. Paper and demo results are simulated and are not indicative of live results. Trade Agents does not provide investment advice, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
