What is CTAgent?

CTAgent is an AI crypto trading agent for Binance, running entirely from Telegram.

You chat with it in plain English. Behind the scenes, a dedicated AI agent pulls live market and account data, helps you design trading strategies, honestly backtests them on historical data, and runs them for you — starting with risk-free paper trading and, when you’re ready, guarded live trading on your own Binance account.

There’s nothing to install and no code to write. If you can describe a trading idea in a sentence, you can build it.

How CTAgent works

Designing and running an algorithmic strategy by hand is slow and error-prone. CTAgent turns the whole loop into a conversation:

Describe — tell the agent what you want in plain English: “Buy ETH when the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, take profit at 5%, stop loss at 2%.”
Build — the agent assembles your idea into a strategy from three reusable modules: a Signal Generator (when to act), a Position Manager (how to size and exit), and a Risk Manager (when to stop).
Backtest — simulate the strategy over historical candles, with fees and slippage and no lookahead, and get clear metrics plus a 1–10 rating.
Paper-trade — deploy it against live prices with simulated money. No Binance connection required, no funds at risk.
Go live (opt-in) — once you trust it, enable guarded live execution. Every order passes through deterministic safety guardrails that the AI cannot bypass.

Strategies are built from three modules

Every strategy is a combination of three named, reusable parts. Build them once, mix and match them across strategies.

Module	What it decides	Examples
Signal Generator	When to buy or sell	RSI < 30, EMA crossover, volume spike, candlestick pattern
Position Manager	How to enter and exit	Size, market/limit entry, take-profit, stop-loss, trailing stop
Risk Manager	When to stop the strategy	Max realized loss, max trades per candle

See Strategy Overview for how they fit together.

You stay in control

Stage	What you do	What the agent does
Setup	Open the bot, optionally connect Binance	Secures your key in an encrypted vault
Design	Describe a strategy in chat	Builds and validates the three modules
Test	Ask for a backtest	Simulates honestly and rates the result
Run	Paper-trade, then opt in to live	Executes per candle within your guardrails
Review	Check `/strategies` or the dashboard	Reports PnL, trades, and sends alerts

Quick start

Open CTAgent on Telegram and send /start.
(Optional) Run /connect to add a trade-only Binance API key — or skip it and paper-trade right away.
Ask the agent to build a strategy, backtest it, and paper-trade it.
