a desk that knows things you don't.
thornberry ai is a desktop app for self-directed traders. AI analysts scan the markets on your machine and hand you the setups. You write the strategy; your bots trade it inside your limits. Your keys never leave your computer.
patience compounds.
the fleet
live trading
Most "AI traders" mash research, decisions, and execution into one box and ask you to trust it with your keys. We pulled them apart. The AI reads the market. Your strategy makes the call. Your bots pull the trigger, inside limits you set. The model never gets near it.
Analysts work the tape, the macro, the flow, the news, and hand you a short, ranked, sourced list. That's the whole job. They don't get a vote on what you trade.
Your rules for entry, exit, size, and risk decide what happens to that list. You wrote them. Nothing else gets a say.
The bots place the trades your strategy calls for, inside hard limits you set. One brake stops everything, the instant you want it stopped.
Equities, options (including multi-leg spreads), and futures, each routed to the right broker for the job.
vol. i
vol. ii
incl. multi-leg spreads
vol. iii
Paper-first out of the box. Live is off until you turn it on, and that's your call. More brokers plug in through the SDK.
On the press: vol. iv, forex, then vol. v, foreign equities. Crypto has a desk of its own at our sister site, decryptofy.ai.
thornberry ai shows up with a full crew of agents and the tools a real desk runs on, and the lid comes off. Write your own analysts. Teach it tricks. Bolt on a broker. One line never moves: the AI researches, your strategy decides, your bots trade inside your limits. Everything else is yours to mod.
your agents
Give an agent a job and a model, and it works the case alongside the crew. Like the rest of them, it never touches a trade.
your skills
A data feed, an indicator, a routine you run every morning. Skills are typed and local — no cloud round-trip, no leaking your edge.
your stack
A plugin SDK for new brokers, and pairing for new channels. Bend the desk around the way you already work.
Extensions don't change the rules: custom agents are research-only, paper-first still applies, and your bots trade inside your limits.
— fin —Local-first isn't a feature here. It's the architecture. The research, the strategy, the keys, and the audit trail all live on your machine. The parts that touch money answer to you alone.
Broker credentials live in your operating system's keychain, never in our cloud, because there isn't one.
A kill switch sits above every bot. Flip it and every order, every bot, halts instantly, no questions.
Every signal, decision, and order: encrypted, on your disk, yours to read. Nobody else's.
The app phones home exactly as often as you tell it to: never, unless you opt in.
| Typical cloud AI bot | thornberry ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the model runs | Their server | Your machine |
| Who holds your broker keys | Usually theirs | Your OS keychain |
| Who decides the trade | The model | Your strategy, your rules |
| What enforces your risk limits | Bolted on, if any | A separate risk engine + kill switch |
| Can a chat message place a trade | Sometimes | No, that door is closed |
| Where your strategy lives | Usually their database | A file you own |
| Default state | Often live by default | Paper-first, you approve |
| Your audit trail | Their logs | Encrypted, on your disk, yours |
The left column generalizes the common cloud-bot pattern; specific products vary, so check each one's docs before relying on this.
We're not faster or smarter than a frontier model. We use frontier models. The difference is the architecture around them: research and execution kept apart, a risk seat that can't be overruled, and nothing leaving your machine. That's the whole pitch, and it's the one thing a cloud bot can't copy without becoming us.
A research crew. A quant lab. A global macro monitor. A risk engine and a kill switch. The tooling a small fund pays for, running quietly on your laptop, with no fund, no cloud, and nobody in the room but you.
Buy it once. Run it forever. The first 2,222 get in for $199. Then that door shuts.
Claim your seatthornberry ai is trading software, not a broker, and not investment advice. Trading securities, options, and futures carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose some or all of your capital, and with options and futures you can lose more than you deposit. Past performance does not predict future results. You make every trading decision and you bear every result.
