Caliber Engine for Tradovate.
Tradovate is where serious futures traders live. Caliber Engine is the autonomous AI that trades your Tradovate account for you — scanning, deciding, and executing while you focus on everything else. Your account stays with Tradovate. The engine just runs it.
How Caliber Engine works with Tradovate
Three steps from a connected Tradovate account to fully autonomous trading.
Connect your Tradovate account
Link Tradovate through a secure webhook bridge that supports futures order entry. Your funds stay inside Tradovate the entire time — the engine never has custody of your capital.
Set contract sizing and risk
Tell the engine how many contracts to size into and your daily risk limits. The engine respects those limits absolutely — no exceptions, no overrides.
Autonomous futures execution
Caliber Engine evaluates the market, decides when to enter, manages stops and targets, and closes positions through your Tradovate account. You watch from your dashboard.
Why Tradovate traders choose Caliber Engine
Discipline at futures speed
Futures move fast. The engine reacts in milliseconds with the same plan, every time. No hesitation, no second-guessing.
No charts to babysit
Stop staring at the order book. The engine watches the market for you and only acts when its setup criteria are met.
Hard risk limits
Daily loss limits, max position size, max contracts — the engine enforces them mechanically so a bad day cannot become a blown account.
Your account stays at Tradovate
Caliber Engine never touches your funds. Everything stays inside Tradovate, exactly where it already is.
Built for futures traders who want their hours back
Tradovate is one of the cleanest, fastest futures platforms available to retail. The trade-off is that futures trading is exhausting — sessions overlap, setups appear at all hours, and one moment of inattention can turn a winning week into a losing one. Caliber Engine removes that burden. The engine watches the market continuously, reasons about each setup before acting, sizes contracts to your risk profile, and manages every position end-to-end.
Powered by Anthropic Claude, the engine treats every trade as a learning event. Outcomes are logged, the next decision benefits from the last, and the system never trades outside the rules you set on your Tradovate account. If you are tired of trading futures with your eyes glued to the screen, Caliber Engine is the cleanest way to hand that work to a system that does not blink.
The engine focuses on US-listed futures and ETFs at launch. You can dedicate part of your Tradovate balance to autonomous execution and continue trading other instruments yourself.
