Setup & Usage

The Tradetron AI assistant connector lets an AI assistant build, validate, backtest and deploy (in Live Offline) algorithmic trading strategies in your Tradetron account, in plain English. This page is the setup and usage reference.

1. What you need

• A Tradetron account — sign up free at tradetron.tech.
• An assistant that supports remote MCP connectors.

2. Connect it

Add a custom connector in your assistant's settings with this server URL:

https://mcp.tradetron.tech/mcp

Your assistant will send you to Tradetron's sign-in page. Log in with your normal Tradetron credentials and approve access. That is the whole setup — there is no API key to copy, paste, or store.

Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow with PKCE, per user. Clients may register dynamically (RFC 7591); the server publishes its protected-resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728). Every account-specific tool call is scoped to the signed-in user — there is no shared key, and no way to reach another user's account. Revoke access any time from your assistant's connector settings.

3. Try it — example prompts

• "Build me a NIFTY short straddle that enters at 9:20, with a 30% stop-loss on each leg and a square-off at 3:15."
  → the assistant interviews you on anything ambiguous, validates the strategy, and creates it as a template in your account.
• "Backtest it on the last two years and show me the drawdown."
  → returns a link to the full backtest report, with P&L, drawdown and trade list. (See costs below.)
• "What would have happened if I bought RELIANCE whenever its RSI dropped below 30 and sold it a week later?"
  → the backtest playground: a free preview of every trade, the win rate and the net result against simply holding the stock, then — if you want it — a full run on Tradetron's backtest engine. The strategy built for the run is removed afterwards unless you ask to keep it. NSE stocks and ETFs, daily candles, buying only; holding periods are calendar days.
• "What does my strategy actually do? Walk me through it."
  → a plain-English walk of every set, condition and leg.
• "Deploy it in Live Offline and tell me how it's doing tomorrow."
• "Show me my strategies and how they performed last month."

4. What you get back

Strategies are created as templates in your Tradetron account, ready to open in the Advanced Strategy Builder — nothing is hidden inside the chat. You review and edit every strategy on the Tradetron website before it ever touches real money.

5. Limits and costs

• Live Offline only. The connector can deploy a strategy in Live Offline — it runs and records every trade, but nothing is sent to the exchange. It cannot place live orders, switch a strategy to Live Auto, move funds, or square off a live position. Going live is done by you, on the Tradetron website. This is a hard architectural limit, not a setting.
• Backtests are charged to your existing prepaid Tradetron wallet. The assistant shows you the exact amount and waits for your explicit confirmation before any run is submitted. If your balance is short, it returns a link to top up on the Tradetron website — it cannot take a payment itself. A backtest-playground preview is free; running the idea on the engine is priced like any other backtest.
• Markets: NSE and NFO (equity, index and stock derivatives), MCX commodities, BSE/BFO index derivatives, plus US and crypto coverage on supported instruments.
• Rate limits apply per user; a long backtest is queued and polled rather than answered instantly.
• Not financial advice. Backtested and Live Offline results do not predict live performance. See the terms of use.

6. Troubleshooting

"Sign-in required" on every call — the connection was never authorised, or the token expired. Remove and re-add the connector.

A strategy was created but a leg looks wrong — ask the assistant to read the strategy back to you before you deploy it. Always review in the Tradetron builder.

A backtest is stuck — most finish in 10–75 seconds; long windows take longer. Ask for its status rather than resubmitting, so you are not charged twice.

7. Support

Email support@tradetron.tech, browse help.tradetron.tech, or see the support page. You can also just ask the assistant to contact Tradetron support for you.
