What is KiloClaw?

An AI assistant that works for you — not just talks to you

The Problem

Chatbots like ChatGPT answer messages — but they can't actually do anything. And self-hosting an AI agent means a whole lot of technical setup, and hours of maintenance. You're left choosing between a tool that only talks and one that takes an engineering team to run.

The Solution

KiloClaw is an AI agent that connects to the apps you already use — email, chat, calendar, and 30+ more — and handles tasks for you, 24/7. It doesn't just answer questions. It takes action.

Problems Solved

Real problems. Automated solutions.

Each solution maps directly to ClawBytes recipes you can deploy today.

Revenge trading after losses wipes out your week

KiloClaw monitors your broker fill confirmations and tracks running P&L throughout the session. When you hit your daily loss limit, your phone buzzes within minutes — before the revenge spiral compounds. The post-loss cooldown alerts when you're entering a new trade too soon after a loss. And the three-strikes tracker flags when you keep going back to the same ticker that's bleeding you. After the session, your review quantifies exactly which trades came after the limit was hit and what they cost — so the damage is undeniable in black and white.

Premarket prep takes longer than the actual trading session

KiloClaw pulls the economic calendar, scans your watchlist for premarket gaps and key levels, checks for earnings and catalyst events, and assembles a structured plan document before the bell. Same prep, every day, without the 45-minute tab-switching routine.

FOMO entries and chasing extended moves

The quality gate checklist gives you a pre-trade framework to fill out before the session — your planned setups, entry criteria, and invalidation levels are written down before the bell rings. During the session, KiloClaw can alert when you're entering names not on your watchlist. After the session, the FOMO extension review flags every entry where price was already stretched beyond your playbook parameters. Over time, the pattern between planned entries and P&L becomes undeniable.

No structured review process to find what actually works

An end-of-day journal captures every session as data. The mistake tagger labels errors so patterns become obvious. And the weekly review compiler converts your tags and stats into one concrete rule change — not vague promises to "be more disciplined."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need programming skills to use these trading automation recipes?

No programming skills are needed. KiloClaw recipes for risk management, loss alerts, and trade discipline are configured through natural language. You define your trading rules — max daily loss, cooldown periods, watchlist criteria — and the agent monitors your broker emails and fires alerts when rules are crossed.

Is KiloClaw secure for my trading account data and strategies?

Yes. KiloClaw runs in isolated, encrypted containers so your trading strategies, account data, journal entries, and performance records are never shared with other users. All data stays within your private instance with enterprise-grade encryption.

Can KiloClaw execute trades automatically on my behalf?

KiloClaw does not execute trades or connect to brokerage trading APIs. It automates the discipline layer around your trading — monitoring broker fill confirmation emails to fire near-real-time loss-limit alerts, running post-session audits that flag rule violations, maintaining your trade journal, and compiling weekly reviews. You trade on your platform; KiloClaw keeps you accountable around it.

Can KiloClaw help me pass a prop firm evaluation?

KiloClaw doesn't connect to your trading platform or execute trades. What it does is automate the discipline infrastructure around your trading — structured premarket plans, near-real-time alerts when you approach drawdown or trade-count limits via broker email monitoring, post-session audits that flag rule violations, and weekly reviews that surface patterns. Many funded traders use it to stay ahead of their firm's rules during the session and review compliance after it.

What is the difference between KiloClaw and standard OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the free, open-source AI agent framework you self-host with Docker. KiloClaw is the fully managed version — we handle hosting, updates, monitoring, and security so you get a running agent in minutes without any server setup. KiloClaw also includes access to 500+ AI models through Kilo Gateway and pre-built integrations with 30+ services.

Can KiloClaw help with things beyond my actual trading sessions?

Yes. Beyond the trading-specific recipes, KiloClaw includes tools for wash sale tracking, tax preparation, and portfolio consolidation across brokers. Many traders use the Unified Portfolio Ledger to reconcile P&L across personal and funded accounts, and the Wash Sale & 1099-B Helper to prepare for tax season without a spreadsheet nightmare.

610+ recipes. 500+ AI models at 0% markup. The Kilo CLI. Zero maintenance.
