Markets move while you sleep, sit in meetings and take a weekend off. Most of the time that's fine. Sometimes it means the price you were waiting for came and went before you looked. Agents are how Strata will close that gap: they keep watch around the clock and act on rules you write, with a budget they can never spend past.

What an agent is

A Strata agent is an AI market agent that trades for you within limits you set. You describe what you want in plain words (buy more of a fund when it drops 5% in a week, or trim a position once it grows past a fifth of your portfolio) and give it a budget. From then on, the agent follows the market 24/7 and acts only when its rules say a trade is worth it.

It is not a black box that chases tips. An agent uses the same research tools as Strata's analyst in Chats: live prices, news, analyst ratings and earnings dates. Every decision it makes is written down so you can read why it happened.

An illustrative agent card. Agents are not live yet.

How it works

  • Set a budget. Choose how much an agent may spend per trade and in total. It can't go past either limit.
  • It watches around the clock. The agent checks its rules against the market day and night, and stays quiet when nothing qualifies.
  • Every move explained. Each buy, sell and skip is logged in plain words, with the numbers that triggered it.
  • You stay in charge. Pause or stop any agent with one click. Stopping it cancels anything it hasn't sent.

What an agent won't do

An agent can't move money in or out of your account, can't borrow or trade on margin, and can't change its own rules or budget. It works only with the brokerage connection you've given Strata, and only inside the limits on its card.

Why they aren't live yet

Letting software trade on your behalf comes with real responsibility. We're finishing the safeguards and approvals agents need before any of them touches a real account, so for now agents are switched off for everyone. Strata's analyst is available today: you can ask it in Chats to research any stock or your portfolio.
