OpenTrade is an open-source macOS app that acts as a trading harness for Claude Code and Codex agents. It connects to your Robinhood Agentic Trading account through the official MCP, giving AI agents the tools and guardrails to monitor markets, execute trades, and react autonomously — all running locally on your machine. Instead of a one-off prompt, OpenTrade lets agents work continuously in the background, with schedules, notifications, and persistent sessions that keep them engaged even when the app window is closed.
Agents continue to receive notifications and work in the background even when the OpenTrade app is closed. This means your strategies can keep running around the clock without keeping a window open or a terminal session alive.
OpenTrade includes manual and auto order approvals, background turn limits for agents, and per-agent order accounting. These guardrails give you a layer of control over what autonomous agents can actually do with your portfolio.
You can delegate different strategies and portions of your portfolio to any number of agents. Each agent can operate independently, letting you run multiple approaches in parallel without mixing contexts or permissions.
Agents can schedule themselves to run periodically or trigger on arbitrary events via background scripts. This enables real-time market monitoring and reactive trading without requiring constant human input.
OpenTrade turns your AI coding agents into autonomous market participants that keep working while you sleep.
Most trading tools require you to be present, or they run on remote servers you don't control. OpenTrade flips that by running entirely on your own Apple Silicon Mac, with agents that persist and act in the background. The combination of official Robinhood MCP integration, per-agent guardrails, and local execution makes it a rare self-hosted option for agentic trading — experimental, but genuinely capable of running 24/7 strategies.
You're already comfortable with Claude Code or Codex and want to explore autonomous trading with real guardrails. OpenTrade is also worth a look if you prefer keeping your trading infrastructure on your own hardware rather than trusting a third-party cloud service. Just be prepared to take full responsibility for configuration, supervision, and the financial outcomes — this is experimental software, not financial advice.
