You set the rules; Autopilot executes them in your Interactive Brokers account: it enters, protects the gain with a trailing stop and exits by itself, without nerves and without watching the screen all day. Don't take our word for it: watch it trade live below, or try it for 30 days in your own account.

Results in dollars, net of IBKR commissions. No account value and no rule names. The ones marked “manual” were closed by me: with Autopilot you can also close by hand whenever you want; the decision, and the result, are yours. It is one of the 9 accounts the system runs on, with my rules: not a promise of results. · updated 05:53 NY
Do you have a large account with other positions? Autopilot lives alongside them. This is what the program does, not a promise:
It closes, adjusts and sells only the positions opened by one of your rules. What you bought, or any other program bought, it does not close, sell or adjust.
Before sending a close it checks that the position is still in the account. If it is gone (say you closed it yourself in IBKR), it does not send the order: it cannot leave you short by mistake.
If the account holds more contracts than the bot's because you bought the same one by hand, it sees it, logs it and keeps managing only its own. Real case from the log: “The account holds more TSLA 261111C00375000 contracts than the bot's (2 vs 1)”.
On an assignment or a difference it can't explain, it doesn't guess: it leaves the position alone and asks you for a decision in the panel and by email.
Interactive Brokers lets you open an additional account at no cost. If you want to keep everything apart, use one only for Autopilot and your main account isn't even visible to it.
The account is yours, in your name at Interactive Brokers. ZeroTouch has no access to withdraw funds. You can pause the bot or close by hand whenever you want.
Building a rule with the wizard, the preview with IBKR's live chain and the bot's dashboard.
Three steps. Your money never leaves your account.
On your Windows computer, next to Interactive Brokers' TWS or IB Gateway.
With the wizard: pick a pre-built strategy or your own, review the rule in plain words and the preview with today's chain.
Opens, manages, rolls and closes according to your rules, in your account. Check the dashboard and the log whenever you want.
Which strategy, on which underlying, how much capital and when to enter and exit. Pause, deactivate or change a rule at any time.
Follows your rules without skipping a day and without impulsive decisions. If something doesn't meet the rule (wide spreads, time window, position limit), it doesn't trade.
The account is yours, in your name at Interactive Brokers. ZeroTouch has no access to withdraw funds.
Chat with us whenever you want: clear your doubts and build your rules with help.
We explain every field of the wizard and what happens if you raise or lower a value. You build the rule: the strategy is yours.
Paste the “rule in words” the program shows and we tell you whether it does what you want: “it's right: it buys 1 QQQ call and turns on the trailing stop at +25%…” or “careful: you called it PUT and the leg is a call”.
If the assistant isn't enough, we pass you to a person or leave a ticket answered by email.
Everything you set up in the wizard, the bot does on its own, with the same rules every day.
Buys stocks with the same entry signals. Size by shares, dollars or % of the account. The TP, SL, trailing stop and SL FLEX stay placed at IBKR, even with the PC off.
Put credit spread, iron condor, PMCC / diagonal and the wheel, with default values and an explanation for each one.
Up to 4 legs, calls or puts, buy or sell. Strike by delta, by % of price, at a width from another leg or fixed. Expirations from 0DTE to LEAPS. On US stocks and ETFs or the SPX, NDX and XSP indexes.
Which days and from what time, how many days apart, maximum open positions and, if you want, only with price above or below its moving average.
Profit target and stop in %, or close a set number of days before expiration. The stop is confirmed on two readings so a stray quote doesn't trigger it.
Rolls a leg in a single order. On assignment it closes and sells or buys back only the shares it produced, or continues the wheel.
One combo order for all legs. Starts at mid price and steps toward the natural price. An opening never goes to market, and it won't trade with spreads that are too wide.
Builds the order it would send today with IBKR's live chain, without sending it. You see strikes, expiration and price before turning the rule on.
Every order, fill, rejection (with IBKR's reason), close and assignment is logged. It coexists with your own trades: it only touches what the bot opened.
Pick one, adjust what you want and review it in plain words before saving. Or start from scratch.
Sells a put and buys a lower one to cap the maximum loss. For a neutral to bullish view.
Defaults: sell put delta 0.30, 30–45 days, buy 5 points lower · close at 50% profit, 200% loss or 21 days
A put credit spread and a call credit spread at the same time. For when you expect price to stay in a range.
Defaults: sell put and call delta 0.16, 5-point wings, 30–45 days · 50% / 200% / 21 days
Buys a long deep call and sells short calls against it, rolling them over time. Similar to a covered call, with less capital.
Defaults: buy call delta 0.80 at 300–540 days, sell call delta 0.30 at 25–45 days · roll the short at 75% or 7 days
Sells cash-secured puts; if assigned, sells covered calls on those shares until they're called away.
Defaults: put and call delta 0.30, 30–45 days · optional minimum call strike
Diagonals, calendars, 0DTE, debit spreads or whatever you build. The wizard asks step by step and won't let you move on with data that doesn't add up.

On your Interactive Brokers paper account or your real account, with the rules you choose. Sign online; after 30 days it switches off by itself.
Interactive Brokers commissions and market data are paid separately, to IBKR. You need an IBKR account with options permissions; spreads and the iron condor require a margin account.
With US market data. For options, also options permissions and options market data.
Windows 10 or 11, on and online during market hours.
Interactive Brokers' platform open; Autopilot connects to it.
Core, Momentum and Master are our fixed-rule bots, with multi-year backtests on real historical data.
Every week it buys short-dated options on the stocks with the strongest momentum, rotating through a basket of 18. Only in a market uptrend.
Exposure to the 5 largest Nasdaq-100 tech companies with long-dated options (LEAPS), using less than half the capital.
Several Core and Momentum portfolios in one app and one IBKR account.
Yes. Each module can be purchased alone or with the other one, and you can add or remove modules from My account: adding is charged for the days left in the period; removing applies from the next renewal. With two modules, the most expensive one is full price and the other is discounted.
No. Autopilot executes the rules you define; the outcome depends on the strategy, the parameters and the market. Trading stocks and options involves risk, including the total loss of the amount invested in each position.
For option rules, you should understand the strategy you'll use; for stock rules you don't need to. Pre-built strategies come with explained defaults, the wizard shows the rule in plain words and the preview builds today's order before anything is activated.
While the computer is off or offline, the bot doesn't manage anything: positions stay in your IBKR account as they are. For stock rules, the TP, SL and trailing stop stay placed at IBKR and keep working. When it's back, it reconnects, checks the account and continues. Everything is recorded in the event log.
No. Autopilot only manages the positions and orders it opened. Your own options, shares and orders are left alone.
For options: US stocks and ETFs with options (for example SPY, QQQ, IWM, AAPL) and the SPX, NDX and XSP indexes, which settle in cash. For stock rules: US stocks and ETFs (indexes cannot be bought).
Yes. We ran more than 10 years of backtests on historical options data in QuantConnect. Today the system is running in 9 accounts, with the results you see on this page.
Yes: the free trial lasts 30 days and needs no card. You can run it on your Interactive Brokers paper account or straight on your real account, with the rules you choose. You sign online and, if you don't subscribe, it switches off by itself after 30 days.
Yes. Each module (options and stocks) sets how many rules of its kind you can have active at the same time. From My account you add a module or more rules, or remove them for the next renewal, without reinstalling.
