Frequently asked questions about AI trading agents

Tradezbird lets you create AI agents that trade and invest on your behalf. You describe your strategy in plain English, from active trading like "buy NVDA on any 5% dip" to long-term investing like "build a diversified tech portfolio", and your agent watches the market, manages your portfolio, and executes for you. Every decision is explained, every action is transparent.

No. You describe what you want in plain English, or pick from ready-made templates. If you can explain your idea to a friend, you can run an agent.

Your funds stay with your broker at all times. Tradezbird never holds your money. Every agent has built-in guardrails: stop-losses, position limits, and drawdown protection that can't be overridden. You can also start with paper trading to test everything risk-free.

Bots follow rigid if-then rules. Robo-advisors use fixed allocation models with periodic rebalancing. Tradezbird agents reason about market context, adapt to conditions, and explain every decision in plain English, whether you're actively trading or passively investing. No black box.

Yes. Every plan includes paper trading. Pick a simulated balance and test your strategy in real market conditions before going live.

We currently support Alpaca for stocks and ETFs. More brokers are on the way. Connecting takes seconds, and your credentials are encrypted end-to-end.

Credits power your agents' decisions. Each time your agent analyzes the market and acts, it uses credits. Plans start at 10,000 credits and scale up based on your needs.

Yes. Pro users can run multiple agents simultaneously, Scale supports up to 10 live agents, and Enterprise has no limits. Each agent runs independently with its own strategy and risk rules.

Instantly. One click to pause or stop. Your guardrails also work around the clock, so if your drawdown hits your limit, agents pause automatically.

It depends on the complexity. A simple check-and-trade cycle uses roughly 100–300 credits. More thorough analysis — scanning multiple sources, running deeper research — uses more. You can track credit usage in real time from your dashboard.

Yes. You can update your agent's strategy, risk rules, or watchlist at any time. Changes take effect on the next decision cycle. You can also pause, adjust, and resume without losing history.

Your agent pauses automatically and notifies you. No trades are placed while the connection is down. Once reconnected, the agent resumes from where it left off. Existing positions remain with your broker — they're unaffected by connection status.

Tradezbird doesn't require a minimum. Your broker may have their own requirements — for example, Alpaca has no minimum for most account types. Check with your broker for specifics.
