AI paper trading

AI that researches. You still approve.

Most “AI trading bots” skip the hard parts: risk gates, confirm, and an honest paper book. IndieTrades is AI paper trading with a control plane — Grok can dig and propose; code decides policy; you confirm; PaperSim fills.

The control plane

Research (Grok / tools)
  → Policy engine (pure code)
  → awaiting_confirm + TTL
  → You Confirm
  → PaperSim fill
  → Journal + audit

vs DIY Claude bots

Tutorials that paste brokerage API keys into a desktop agent can submit without a product-level gate. IndieTrades keeps the LLM off the submit path. See IndieTrades vs Claude trading bots.
