Risk-based order ticket
Size by risk %, amount or lots. Broker rules are checked before anything is sent.
v0.9 beta · MT4 + MT5 · Zero-DLL
The AI + Quant execution brain for MetaTrader.
A Windows desktop app that sits beside your MT4 or MT5 terminal. It sizes the orders you place through Cortex and checks them against your risk limits before they are sent.
Cortex is in beta. Test on a demo account first.
- 01Set your risk and watch the lots size themselves.
- 02Click Buy twice to send an order to the simulated broker.
- 03Approve or reject the agent's order when it asks.
The real Cortex app, running in your browser. Prices are simulated and nothing reaches a broker.
- Use your own broker
- MT4 + MT5
- Hedging and netting
- ECN accounts
- No DLL imports
Tested live on Pepperstone and Errante MT5 demo accounts.
How it works
One hub between you and the broker.
A small EA talks to Cortex over a local named pipe. Charts, orders and risk checks run on your machine; the licence check and any cloud AI provider you choose go online.

Features
Built for the moment before you click.
Quant Regime & Alpha Radar
Hurst, VR(4), Kaufman ER, RSI, ATR and Fractional Kelly, computed on your machine.
Fund Manager & Trade Copier
One master, many followers. Pro-rata, equal-risk or multiplier sizing, with a flatten-all for Cortex's trades.
Management that survives restarts
Break-even, trailing and partial close run inside the EA, not the app.
Risk limits for everyone
Max risk % per trade, max lots, stop loss required, margin check, pending-order distance, daily loss limit and a live-account gate. The same checks apply to clicks, agents and AI.
Clear command results
Commands expire after a few seconds and are not blindly resent (an auto-copy close is retried once if the follower is still open). Each one reports the broker's result.
AI & Agents
Bring your own AI.
Claude Code, Cursor or Codex call Cortex over MCP. Orders they send through Cortex get the same risk guard checks as your own clicks.
- Local only. Bound to 127.0.0.1 with scoped tokens.
- TradingView webhooks. Filtered by Quant Guard first.
- AI co-pilot. Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible model.
- Fully local if you want. Works with Ollama and LM Studio.
Illustrative session. Tool names are real; values are simulated.
Safety
Cortex's orders go through one hub.
Orders from the ticket, the Fund Manager, the AI co-pilot and agents all pass the same risk guard. Agent orders can wait on your Positions screen until you approve them. Orders you place directly in MetaTrader don't go through Cortex.
Close all and Flatten close only the trades Cortex opened. Other EAs' and manual trades stay open unless you choose Close whole account (or an agent token with full access asks for the whole account).

From version 0.9.0-beta.5, placing trades needs a licence key. When the 30-day trial ends, trading stops. Charts, analysis, the built-in demo broker and managing or closing trades you already have keep working. To subscribe, email support@aimscortex.com.
