Broker clock
Bar timestamps and fill times are wall-clock time in the broker's zone, which is not your machine's time. When that clock is unavailable the correct behaviour is to say so, not to quietly fall back to local time.
Follow analysis by instrument and timeframe. Track paper results and review decisions on your phone, tablet or computer — no download needed.
No download and no installation — it opens in any phone or desktop browser. Sign in with your existing account for analysis, quotes, paper trading, reviews and notifications.
The web app covers analysis signals, quotes, paper trading, reviews and notifications. It does not connect to a broker and never places real orders. The paper ledger is simulated and not calibrated against real fills. Not investment advice.

This interface runs on synthetic data. Not a live feed, not a real account.
Three ideas
Some things are deliberately built this way.
Quotes, positions and pending orders from every venue, merged into one state. Its only job is to let you see clearly. There is no path from the board to an order.
| Venue | Symbol | Last | Pos | Pend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MT4/MT5 | XAUUSD | 4361.40 | 0 | 0 |
| IBKR | NVDA.US | 182.34 | 0 | 0 |
| Binance | BTC/USDT | 68,412.5 | 0 | 0 |
| TianQin | SHFE.au | 1,024.6 | 0 | 0 |
Confirmed: no open positions
Drag a stop or a target on the chart and all you touch is a draft: the position is untouched and no request is sent. A drafted line thickens and gets the word draft appended to its label. It becomes a real amendment only after Apply to account and a second confirmation. A slip of the hand costs nothing.
Once every are-you-sure dialog is gone, this session-level switch is all that remains. It is off by default: the panel reads as read-only and the buy and sell buttons do not respond.
Trading locked. Read-only by default.
Venues
MT4, MT5, IBKR, crypto exchanges, TianQin futures. Each is a venue. Routing quotes through one and execution through another is routine.
| Venue | Execution unit | Modify protection | Cancel order | Pending from chart |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MT4 / MT5 | mt4_lots | yes | yes | yes |
| IBKRnot connected | shares | not connected | not connected | not connected |
| Binance | coins | no | no | no |
| OKXnot connected | coins | not connected | not connected | not connected |
| TianQinnot connected | contracts | not connected | not connected | not connected |
| Longbridge | none | no | no | no |
The values below come from VENUE_UNIT in venues.py and the capability constants in chart-trade-overlay.js. They were not invented for this page.
What a connected venue can do right now, one operation at a time, yes or no. If it is not listed, it cannot be done. It answers what this particular connection can do, which is a different question from whether this kind of venue can trade at all: the second you know without connecting, the first only after.
Execution venue to quantity unit is a fixed table: lots for MT, shares for IBKR, coins for exchanges, contracts for TianQin. 0.001 lots is not 0.001 bitcoin, so nothing is ever silently converted and a cross-unit request is refused outright.
A venue you can watch but not trade. Longbridge is one: it has no execution unit at all, because it never carries execution. US equities here take quotes from Longbridge and execution through IBKR. Without IBKR connected, read-only is all that is left.
XAgent
Structured bars plus precomputed features, reasoned in two stages: diagnose the market first, then decide. You watch it work through each step.
What you get is an entry, a stop, targets and the reasoning behind them. XAgent does not connect to a broker and places no orders itself. To trade, place the order at your own broker, or use XTrading with your own account.
Trade-offs
These three share one premise: when you cannot tell, say so.
Bar timestamps and fill times are wall-clock time in the broker's zone, which is not your machine's time. When that clock is unavailable the correct behaviour is to say so, not to quietly fall back to local time.
How long since this symbol last ticked. Deliberately an age rather than an alarm light, because at the bridge layer a dead feed and a closed market produce exactly the same input.
It does not claim the feed is dead, because it cannot know. It reports how long since the last tick and leaves the conclusion to you.
An empty list has to distinguish the two. A confirmed zero says it is confirmed. Before the answer arrives, it does not write zero at all.
Confirmed: no open positions
No position acknowledgement yet
What a figure looks like and what it actually is must agree.
The model's conviction and win rate are marked as model self-assessment, not historical statistics. A number that reads like a backtested win rate but is not one has to say so.
Without that line, this number reads as a backtested win rate. It is not one.
Net is what a trade actually leaves you with: gross P/L plus commission and swap. Reviews always use it, because reading the gross column alone flatters the record. In this system the word P/L is reserved for the figure that excludes commission and swap, and the two are never used interchangeably.
Around 8% of men have red-green colour vision deficiency, and on a dark background red and green sit at similar lightness. So every up or down figure also carries a direction mark, and a blue-amber palette is available.
The direction marks never go away. Switching palette only changes colour; it does not add missing information.
Silent failure is the hardest kind to find, so these are all built to make noise.
Switching symbol or chart type tears down and rebuilds the chart's main series. That moment is a generation change. Everything attached to the old series — price lines, fill markers, drawing layers, a half-placed anchor — becomes invalid, and nothing raises an error. So they all have to be invalidated together; miss one and it fails silently.
A line drawn on gold should not appear on EUR/USD, and should still be there when you switch back. Price alerts work the same way. Binding them to the chart pane is the easier implementation, but then one symbol switch scatters everything you marked yesterday.
Switch back and forth: each symbol keeps its own lines.
An order has three degrees of realness: not sent, simulated, live. The live tier is always refused unless it has been explicitly opened.
It has to be opened explicitly, and the switch does not survive a restart.
Get started
XAgent runs on its own without XTrading, and the other way round.
Open the web app on your phone or computer and sign in to view analysis, subscriptions, paper trading, reviews and messages. The web app places no real orders.
The same signal means something different in each place.
Research signals and a paper ledger. No broker connection, never places orders. The paper ledger is simulated and not calibrated against real fills.
Analysis on your own computer. No broker connection, no orders.
Places orders on your own broker or exchange account: you can place them by hand, or let follow rules you set execute your subscribed signals automatically. Orders are sent only after you connect an account and unlock trading; what to follow, how much and when to unlock are up to you.
| Layer | Generates signals | Paper records | Real orders | Needs your own broker account |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web app (XAgent Cloud) | Yes | Yes (simulated, uncalibrated) | No | No |
| XAgent desktop (PA) | Yes | — | No | No |
| XTrading (XT) | — | Yes (orders can use a simulated mode) | Yes (after you connect and unlock; manual or follow) | Yes |
“—” means this page makes no statement; see the software itself. Signals are research references and are not guaranteed to fill at the stated price.

2Receive on desktop
Sign in to the desktop app with the same account to see your subscribed signals. What is available depends on the version you installed.
3Place the order
In XTrading, connect your own account and unlock trading. You can place orders by hand, or turn on follow so XTrading sends orders automatically by your rules. Without a connected account and unlock, nothing is sent.
4Fill
Whether and at what price it fills is whatever your broker or exchange reports. Web app paper results are not your fills.
The trading workbench. Forex and gold, US equities, crypto, futures. Orders go to your own broker or exchange account: you connect the account, trading is locked by default, and you unlock it. Place orders by hand or turn on follow.
