OpenTrade is an open-source harness for Claude Code / Codex agents that provide the tools and guardrails to trade effectively via Robinhood's official MCP. Out of the box, agents can setup cron schedules, custom scripts to notify themselves, and persistent background sessions – all on your machine.

Hey Product Hunt!
Today we're launching OpenTrade, an open-source macOS app that helps manage Claude Code / Codex agents that trade via Robinhood.
When Robinhood released their MCP in May, that marked the first time most people could point AI agents at their portfolios. Overnight, everyone had the potential to have a financial advisor in their pocket keeping an eye on their investments 24/7.
At least that was my expectation! What I found instead was just the foundations for that vision:
Agents couldn't proactively react to market events
Mistakes made by agents risk the entire portfolio
Difficulty managing multiple agents on the same account
That spurred the development of OpenTrade, which provides:
Monitors that can notify agents periodically or based on custom scripts agents write themselves
Headless sessions so agents can work in the background
Guardrails and order approvals specific to each agent
An IDE-like environment to easily manage multiple agents
As avid Robinhood users ourselves, we recognize the hesitance to trust third-party software in this context, which is why OpenTrade is open-source – anyone can inspect and modify it. We also firmly believe that a product to manage your finances should be completely under your control. OpenTrade spawns your own configured Claude Code or Codex agents on your machine – never on a server.
We'd love to hear from the Product Hunt community, particularly from the active investors in the crowd:
If you're using agents with your portfolio today, what works and what doesn't?
Are there other brokers that you'd be interested in trying with OpenTrade?
Thanks for checking us out! OpenTrade is built by Exla (YC W25). @viraat_das and I will be around all day.
Love that you kept this open-source and local-first. I don't trust giving any bot access to my broker on a server. Are there any guardrails/templates for beginners so we don't accidentally have an agent blow up the portfolio?
OpenTrade
@ddamba_eddy Yep – we ship a few template CLAUDE.md / AGENT.md files for this reason. Guardrails are active by default so agents can't place orders without your approval.
@pranavnair That’s smart. Local-first and guardrails makes me way more comfortable trying it.

@pallav_agarwal Cheers! One thing we've intentionally strayed from is trying to give users trading advice/preferences. OpenTrade a tool for active Robinhood traders who need agents to help them out. To that end, giving users complete flexibility and configurability made sense.
But a more streamlined dashboard UI could make sense before being pelted with all the details. Thanks for the suggestion!

Very cool! Would you consider building it in native swiftUI etc? And any thoughts on mobile apps? iOS / iPad etc? Different UX for sure but would be very interesting. Like a remote side kick for the desktop mothership.
OpenTrade
@conduit_design Could see it grow in the mobile direction! You can already drive Claude/Codex sessions via mobile so technically it's possible now, minus the financial interface.
As for SwiftUI – totally could be worth the effort if we decide to lock into macOS. I dislike electron apps as much as the next person :)
DiffSense
@pranavnair There is always Tauri. The eco system around Tauri is pretty epic so no reason to use Electron anymore. I mean in todays AI driven coding landscape tho, porting from one native stack to the next isnt that much of a hassle. Its almost tax free. Tauri also works on mobile. So that could be a first step. And then maybe later swap out for Native if things go well etc.
OpenTrade
@conduit_design Great point. Something to keep in mind for sure.
I am a not a active trader, would love a tool like this , what creds do i need to get started with it , do es this work in India?
OpenTrade
@hargobind_gupta The only broker supported today is Robinhood, which I believe is US-only. But we'd be open to supporting more brokers if there's interest. Which ones would you want to see supported?
Very cool. What is your team using in terms of inputs to influence your agents' trading decisions?
OpenTrade
Managing multiple agents from one place sounds useful, especially if each agent has a different role or set of permissions.
OpenTrade
@ludovica_eleazer Agreed. Lots of low-hanging fruits for per-agent customization.
