Illustration of a VC Trader session. The trader asks Agent Alpha to review FX and metals for the session, choosesClaude Opus 5.5 and sends the request. Agent Alpha reads the desk, the IC Markets MT5 account, the event calendar, live quotes and its research memory, briefs three helpers, reruns a gold strategy backtest in the cloud and charts XAUUSD with structure, a buy area, invalidation and a target, followed by a written analysis. The trader then asks it to place the trade; Agent Alpha refreshes the account and market, sizes and validates the order, and presents a buy-limit proposal awaiting the trader's approval. All figures are illustrative.

Research that compounds into connected knowledge.
A semantic intelligence graph connects markets, currencies, strategies, research, decisions and outcomes. Agents traverse those relationships to retrieve relevant findings, connect exposures and carry knowledge from one investigation into the next.

You can work with agents to author Python strategies, or write and investigate them yourself in Jupyter. The research environment supports both approaches.
How does the intelligence graph support trading research?
It connects research to instruments, strategies, decisions and outcomes through semantic relationships. Agents can retrieve relevant findings and carry context between investigations.
What research can I run in the cloud?
Tick-accurate backtests, CMA-ES parameter searches and rolling walk-forward evaluation, alongside Python analysis in Jupyter notebooks.
Can deployed strategies trade automatically?
Yes. Customer-approved Python strategies can execute automatically on connected MT5 accounts through cloud hosting. Agent-proposed orders require your confirmation.
Can I choose the AI model and use my own key?
Yes. VC Trader supports model choice and BYOK within the same agentic harness and workspace.
