AI
An AI that works on your chart and asks before it trades for real
Chat with it inside Sky Trade using your own key, or connect the AI app you already use. It reads the chart, draws on it, sets up indicators and alerts, and practises with you in Trading Lab. On a real account, every trade it wants waits for your approval.

Chat inside Sky Trade, with your own key
The AI Assistant lives in the platform. Bring an API key from an AI service, which runs on pay-as-you-go credit rather than a chat subscription.
Ask about the chart in front of you
Open the AI Assistant and ask. It reads the candles, live quotes, your positions and a picture of the chart, and answers in the language you write in.
Let it work on the chart
Ask for a symbol, a timeframe, an indicator or a price level, and the AI sets up the chart and draws what it talks about. Each step it takes shows in the chat in plain words.
Float it, or dock it beside the chart
Keep the AI Assistant in its own window over the chart, or dock it as a panel in your workspace. Switch whenever you like, even in the middle of an answer.
Your key stays with you
Your key and your chat history stay in your browser. The key goes only to the AI service it belongs to, never to a SkyOption server.
How to start
- Paste a key from Anthropic, or from an OpenAI-compatible service such as OpenAI, OpenRouter or Groq. Sky Trade tells the service from the key itself.
- The key is checked and the models on your account are listed. Pick one.
- No message goes to the AI until you press Start chat.
Works with
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
- OpenRouter
- Groq
On a paid key, long chats are built to cost less.
Where your key is kept
In this browser only. Leave “Remember my key on this device” off and it is forgotten when you close the tab. It travels in a request header to its own service and nowhere else.
A chat you control
- Answers appear as they are written. Stop ends one at any point, and you can copy a reply or clear the chat.
- Each action the AI takes shows as a short line in plain words, and a chart screenshot shows as a picture.
- It answers in the language you write in, Arabic included.
- Each trading account keeps its own conversation.
What the AI can do
64
It works through 64 tools. Most of them read or change what is on your screen. Only a few touch a real order, and on a real account each of those waits for you.
The tools, by what they may do
- readonly read, or answer you in the Chat tab
- 27
- chartchange the chart, your lists and alerts, run a practice replay or speak
- 31
- prefillfill in the order ticket for you to send
- 2
- TRADEask to trade, and on a real account wait for your approval
- 4
You choose how far it may go
Pick an access level and see which tools stay open. The AI cannot go past the level you set.
It can also fill in an order ticket. You still press Buy or Sell yourself.

Some things stay yours alone: the AI cannot delete a watchlist, save or delete a template, or change your Platform Settings.
You stay in control
These checks stand between the AI and your money. They are built into Sky Trade, for the chat and for every AI app you connect.
Every real trade waits for you to approve it
When the AI wants to open, close, change or cancel a trade on a real account, a dialog shows what it wants and its reason in its own words. Deny has the focus, so a hasty key press says no; a countdown ends the request if you do nothing; and the order is checked again after you approve.
Direct trading only on a demo account you chose it for
On a demo account you can let the AI trade without asking. You turn it on for that one account, a badge shows while it is on, and it is never offered on a real account.
Pause stops it at once
Pause AI in the chat window stops the chat, and the pause switch in the Connection tab stops your AI app. Anything waiting for your approval is cancelled, and signing out signs the AI out too. In Sky Connector’s menu you can also pause or revoke each paired website on its own.
Streamer Mode keeps your account number from the AI
While you stream, the AI does not get your account number, and its voice stays quiet. It still reads the figures it needs to answer, so a strip in the chat reminds you before you share its replies.
Everything it did is on record
The activity feed lists every action the AI took and every one it was refused, newest first, kept for each account.
Only what you allow gets in
In a browser, Sky Trade links to Sky Connector only after you press Allow there, and an AI app needs the token from your Connection tab. Each pairing belongs to one website, you can renew or revoke the token at any time, and another website is never let in silently.
Direct demo trading is a choice you make for one demo account. 
With Streamer Mode on, the chat shows a reminder strip. 
The activity feed: every action and every refusal.
And the quieter guards
- After you switch accounts, the AI must read your positions again before it can touch them.
- While a Trading Lab replay runs, live AI trading is refused. Practice orders are always simulated.
- Trade requests have the strictest rate limit, so an AI cannot fire a burst of orders.
- The AI in the chat is told to ignore instructions hidden in market data or symbol names, and that you make the decisions.
- It never gets your name or your broker’s comments on your trades.
- A pause or a revoke in one tab holds in every tab of the site.
Connect the AI app you already use
Your AI app reaches Sky Trade through a link on your own computer. It reads the chart, draws on it and asks to trade through the same safety checks as the chat.
Where the link runs
- Sky Trade DesktopBuilt in. The desktop app connects to itself, so there is nothing else to install, not even for ChatGPT.
- Sky ConnectorFor the web app. A small app for Mac, Windows and Linux that starts with your computer.
The link runs only on your computer and never passes through a SkyOption cloud. Your AI app then sends what it reads to its own AI service.
The Connection tab walks you through it step by step. When something is off, it tells you the next step, not an error code.
Claude Code
Copy one line from the Connection tab and paste it into your terminal. Your coding agent can then read your chart and draw on it.
ChatGPT
Press “Connect ChatGPT” in the Connection tab and paste a tunnel ID and an API key from the OpenAI Platform. Sky Connector or Sky Trade Desktop runs OpenAI’s secure tunnel for you, on Mac, Windows and Linux. ChatGPT’s free plan works too.
Cursor
Put the address and token from the Connection tab into Cursor’s MCP settings.
Windsurf
The same address and token go into Windsurf’s MCP settings.
Any MCP app
Any app that takes a web address with an authorization header uses the same address and token.
Talk to your AI app from inside Sky Trade
Connected Claude Desktop or another AI app? Chat with it in the Chat tab, without leaving the trading screen.
- Copy one start message into your AI app, once. From then on it reads what you type in the Chat tab and answers there.
- Short labels show which tools it used, in plain words.
- The conversation is not saved anywhere: reloading the page or signing out clears it.
- One AI app listens at a time. A second one is told the chat is taken.
Hear the answer, keep your eyes on the chart
Turn on Speak AI replies aloud and the AI reads its replies to you. An answer in Arabic is spoken in Arabic, even when the platform is in English; any other answer is read in the platform’s language.
- Use your browser’s free voice, or a natural voice with your own OpenAI key. If the natural voice cannot be reached, the free one takes over.
- Your AI app can speak to you too, and its replies in the Chat tab are read aloud.
- One switch covers the chat and your AI app, and a stop button shows while it speaks.
- Streamer Mode keeps it quiet while you are live.
- Voice is for listening: the AI speaks, and you type.
