  2. 2

    Ask anything. Options, a symbol, a backtest: one input drives 95 tools across the platform.

  3. 3

    It ran the backtest itself. Win rate, P&L, drawdown: Otto submitted the run, waited for it, and pulled the numbers.

  4. 4

    Then it tells you the truth. A quick read on the risk, the drivers, and what to test next.

  5. 5

    The same tools you use. Otto fills the real backtester form, so you can take over and tweak anytime.

  6. 6

    Explain this page. One click anywhere in the dashboard and Otto walks you through what you're seeing.

Real conversations

An agent with hands.

These are unstaged screenshots from the dashboard. Watch Otto pick the tools, call them, and hand back an answer built from your data and live ORATS market data.

    One sentence, fully specified. Strategy, deltas, width, exits, and time window: Otto parses all of it.

  2. 2

    Watch it call the platform. Tool calls are visible cards: the exact run it submitted, queued and confirmed.

  3. 3

    It checks its own work. Otto polls the run status and pulls the headline stats when it completes.

  2. 2

    An answer with a point of view. Implied vs its own history and its sector, priced rich or cheap, called plainly.

  3. 3

    Receipts included. The last 8 earnings, implied vs actual, straight from live ORATS data.

Sees what you see
Otto reads the page you're on. Click “Explain what I'm seeing” anywhere in the dashboard and it walks you through the screen, your data included.
Shows its work
Every answer streams its reasoning and shows each tool call as a card you can expand: the backtest it ran, the scan it configured, the data it pulled.
Paper trades, never live
Otto places paper trades only and never sends a live order. It reads your positions and balances, but every live trade stays in your hands.

FAQ

Otto, answered.

What is Otto?

Otto is an AI agent built into the ORATS dashboard. Flip the sidebar from Dashboard to Agent on any page and ask in plain English; Otto picks from 95 tools to run backtests, configure scanners, build trades, read your positions, chart data, and explain what is on your screen.

Can Otto place real trades with my money?

No. Otto analyzes, scans, builds trade tickets, and places paper trades so you can track an idea risk-free. Live orders always stay in your hands: Otto can stage a ticket in the sidebar, and you decide whether to send it.

What AI model powers Otto?

Otto runs on Anthropic's Claude. It streams its reasoning as it works and shows every tool call as an expandable card, so you can see exactly which backtest it ran, which scan it configured, and which data it pulled.

Can Otto see my portfolio?

If you have connected a broker (Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, or Tradier), Otto can read your positions, balances, and open orders, and analyze your risk on demand. It reads your account; it never trades it.

Are Otto's answers financial advice?

No. Otto is a research tool: it can be wrong, and its answers are not financial advice. That is why every answer shows its work, from the tool calls it made to the data behind them, so you can verify before you act.

Does Otto cost extra?

No. Otto is included in ORATS Trading Tools at $99 per month for an individual license ($199 per user per month for a professional license), with no separate AI fees. One flat subscription covers every conversation and every other tool on the platform.

Ask Otto something hard.

Otto is great, way more helpful than general AIs like Perplexity as it has way more context!
