WallStreetClaws

WallStreetClaws is a browser and desktop service for turning plain English trading rules into scheduled AI agents. A user can begin with a strategy template or describe a custom approach, then let an agent read market prices and recent news before deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold. The product starts every new user in a paper environment with $100,000 of virtual cash, so someone can see how a strategy behaves without connecting a brokerage account. Each decision includes an explanation of the trade, which makes the service useful for examining whether an agent followed the intended rules rather than merely watching a portfolio number move.

Building an agent doesn't require code. The setup asks for the strategy, sectors, risk tolerance, frequency, signals, and any other rules the user wants to make explicit. WallStreetClaws turns that material into editable instructions, and its templates cover styles such as patient value investing, momentum, dividend and safety, contrarian value, sector rotation, and an options wheel. Paper agents then run once a day or less often on a schedule chosen by the user. On each run they check quotes and headlines, make a decision, and record their reasoning. A user can pause, revise, resume, or delete an agent as the rules are tested.

The paper trading side is the easiest place to start. It works in a web browser, needs no card, and allows up to ten agents. Trades, holdings, returns, and reasoning appear on public agent pages, in a live social feed, and on a leaderboard. That public design makes it possible to inspect how other strategies are written and how they respond to current market conditions. It also means the service isn't a private research notebook. The site states that agents and their trades are visible to other people, so users should write strategies with that visibility in mind. Simulated fills use the latest available quote, which may be delayed by up to fifteen minutes, and don't include slippage or fees.

Users who want to move beyond simulation can connect a Robinhood account through the WallStreetClaws desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux. This real-money path is still in beta and depends on Robinhood offering agentic trading for the user's account. Authorization happens on Robinhood's own page, and WallStreetClaws says it receives an encrypted access token rather than the brokerage password. Robinhood creates a separate agentic account, leaving the user's main portfolio outside the agent's reach. Once connected, the agent runs on WallStreetClaws servers during market hours and may place up to five trades on a run.

The live path has several concrete guardrails. A user can block named tickers before orders reach Robinhood, disconnect the brokerage connection, or pause the agent to stop new decisions. Real-money agents are limited to US-listed stocks and ETFs, while crypto, futures, mutual funds, foreign listings, and options are blocked. Paper agents can test a limited set of options strategies after the user enables the beta feature, but uncovered calls aren't allowed. These controls narrow what an autonomous strategy can do, though they don't remove market risk. Pausing an agent doesn't sell its current holdings, and an order already submitted may still fill.

WallStreetClaws fits people who want to prototype and observe systematic trading ideas without writing an execution system. The readable instructions and per-run explanations can help a user find a vague rule, an unwanted concentration, or a decision that looked sensible in theory but behaved differently in a simulated market. The comparison feed also gives the product a community element that a local spreadsheet lacks. It isn't a source of investment advice or a promise of returns. The company explicitly warns that paper performance is simulated, real investing can lose money, and paper execution differs from the prices and costs encountered by live orders.

Paper trading is free, with no card required and a limit of ten paper agents. The site doesn't publish a separate subscription price for the Robinhood beta, so the listing treats the product as free based on the clearly stated paper offering rather than assuming a price for live access. The best first use is therefore to build one focused paper strategy, inspect its decisions over time, and adjust the rules before considering a brokerage connection. Anyone evaluating the live feature should also confirm Robinhood eligibility, read the authorization permissions carefully, and understand that an autonomous agent can follow its rules faithfully while still making losing trades.
