OpenProphet: Open-Source Autonomous Trading Agent with Web UI

OpenProphet is a second iteration of the Claude_Prophet project, built with Claude Opus 4.6 over two days. It's described as a "totally autonomous Openclaw like webui" that opens in a browser.

Key Features and Functionality

The tool represents a shift from the original approach where users would "just use Claude code and say 'Go trade with these rules'." Instead, OpenProphet provides:

• Browser-based interface
• Support for multiple Alpaca accounts simultaneously
• Runs on OpenCode
• Ability to attach any LLM (not just Claude)
• Configuration for Agent Personas and Strategies
• Simple stop/start functionality
• Ability for the agent itself to update configuration rules

Important Clarifications

The creator emphasizes several key points about the tool's nature:

• This is not a high-frequency trading bot
• It functions as "more so a proxy of your own strategy"
• The agent typically plans exits and sets limit orders rather than executing instant orders
• Addresses previous criticism about "unrealistic fills" by explaining the limit order approach

Project Details and Resources

The project is completely free and open-source. The creator notes they "don't recommend trading with real money, but there is no way to stop you from setting up a live alpaca markets key."
