Every other "AI trading" tool sends your decisions through someone else's servers. Qovaryx ships a sovereign 11-head specialist cluster that runs on your laptop's CPU. Here's the full feature list, broken into 6 categories — followed by an honest, sourced head-to-head with the top six competitors.
From-scratch finance decoder. 11 active HGB ensemble heads vote on every signal. NN overlays (Q-Direction, Q-Volatility, Q-Pattern, Q-Veto, Q-Regime, Q-Macro, Q-Chat) ship in the next release.
Every signal carries a 0-1 calibrated probability — not a fuzzy 1-10 rating. Conviction-floor gates actually work across all 11 heads.
Dedicated head detects market volatility states (RISK_ON / RISK_OFF / VOL_CRUSH / CHOP) and auto-demotes BUY signals in risk-off conditions.
Earnings-event head classifies each setup as POST_EARNINGS_LONG / POST_EARNINGS_SHORT / IV_CRUSH_FADE / WAIT to avoid earnings-week gamma traps.
Head routes trades to CALL / PUT / CREDIT_SPREAD / STRADDLE / NO_TRADE based on live Greeks and volatility context.
v6/v7 ensemble fires BUY only if 3 buy-edge models clear threshold; fires SELL only if 3 sell-edge clear; both firing → NO_TRADE. Conflict means abstain.
VIX regime + earnings blackout + pattern whitelist + PDT governor. Qovaryx refuses setups the brutal test shows lose money. "Cluster sees no edge. Sit out."
The cluster refuses to score if <40% of trained feature columns are supplied. Emits NO_TRADE with a list of missing features so you can see why it abstained.
Tracks same-day closes separately from PDT enforcement. Logs entry time, exit time, PnL, and regime at entry for post-trade audit.
Detects when a single-leg option order is tagged with a multi-leg strategy name (iron condor, spread) and rejects with a clear error. Prevents accidental legging-in.
When a broker API fails or returns empty, the position panel falls back to the last successful snapshot (10-min TTL). No flickering to zero, no false-empty positions.
Tradier, Alpaca, Charles Schwab, Robinhood, Tastytrade, TradeStation, Interactive Brokers — paper or live, native adapters, paste your keys and trade.
Full order_class:"mleg" support, separate paper/live keypairs, IEX quotes (free tier), auto-discovered options expirations.
Session-token auth with 24h expiry, remember-token refresh, auto-discovered account_id, native 1-4 leg multi-leg with price-effect field.
Targets the local IBKR gateway (https://localhost:5000), auto-confirms pre-trade warnings once, paper detection via the DU account prefix.
Quotes, charts, positions, and signal decisions are computed on your machine. Anonymous install telemetry only (version, OS, install ID hash). Never trades, broker keys, or P&L.
License tokens are cryptographically signed by the server. Client refuses unsigned tokens in trial/paid modes. Prevents local license_token.json tampering.
Cached license tokens stay valid 14 days even if the network is unreachable. Day-trade on a plane, day-trade in a cabin. The model still runs.
If a beta build needs to be retired, the server can set tier=nuked in the signed envelope. App refuses to start the engine and shows a custom nuke-message. Leaks become traceable, revocable, dead-on-arrival.
The cluster logs which API path is hitting feature-coverage gates. Helps operators debug sparse callers without touching trade payloads.
Every result includes a build-ID stamp so leaked or misused outputs trace back to the exact binary that generated them.
28 architecture notes covering shell-governed cognition, calibrated conviction, the brutal eval discipline, EVO20 training genome, crystallization. No recipes, no thresholds — just the framing.
The v3 BUY-collapse, the 9 vs 11 head count, the gem path edge cases — we publish what went wrong, not just what shipped. Public model cards on every head.
Runs entirely on your laptop's CPU. No GPU. No cloud. No Docker. One installer, any Windows machine from 2018 on, 8 GB RAM.
Every signal carries a calibrated 0-1 probability backed by 92 features. Ask "Review AAPL" and get a clear read with the volume-price pattern and a one-line plan.
Surfaces AI-identified high-conviction symbols (conviction ≥75%, feature coverage ≥40%) with one-click chart or trade. Edge-flip + fundamental gate + earnings blackout applied.
A single ribbon of broker radio buttons at the top of Settings. Pick one, the others collapse, the choice persists. No mile-long broker form.
Real-time CPU name, load %, RAM usage, and a live "11 Qovaryx Heads Loaded" counter so you can confirm the cluster is alive.
A real-time market clock on the bottom bar labels the current session — open / premarket / afterhours / closed — in the correct color so you never click trade by mistake at 3am.

| Capability | Qovaryx | Trade Ideas | TrendSpider | Composer | Tickeron | Thinkorswim | Robinhood Legend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on YOUR machine (CPU-local inference) | YES | Cloud + thin client | Cloud (web) | Cloud only | Cloud | Desktop UI, no AI | Cloud (Cortex) |
| Why it matters: when the model runs on your CPU, your watchlist, position size and order intent never become someone else's training data. Every cloud competitor logs at minimum metadata of every signal you've ever generated. | |||||||
| Trade data stays local (no vendor telemetry) | YES | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Why it matters: the signals you click are a leading indicator of your real orders. Vendors who see them can sell aggregated order-intent to market makers, train future models on your trading style, or be subpoenaed. Local-only inference removes the entire pipe. | |||||||
| Works offline (signal computed without internet) | YES (broker feed still needed) | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Why it matters: when the vendor goes down (Trade Ideas, TrendSpider, Robinhood have all had multi-hour outages in the last 24 months) the AI evaporates. Qovaryx still computes — only the broker feed is external. | |||||||
| Sovereign model — own weights, not a rented API | YES (11 scratch-trained heads) | Proprietary cloud algos | RF/KNN cloud lab + Sidekick LLM | LLM-assisted editor | Proprietary "FLM" | None | Cortex (3rd-party LLM) |
| Why it matters: rented LLM APIs update silently, change refusal behavior, and price-hike with two weeks notice. A sovereign cluster is frozen weights on your disk — the model that was audited is the model that trades. | |||||||
| Broker integrations | 7 native | 3 (IB, E*TRADE, TradeStation) | 30+ via SignalStack relay | 1 (Alpaca/Apex only) | 0 retail; 2 institutional API | 1 (Schwab only) | 1 (Robinhood only) |
| Why it matters: 7 first-party adapters mean orders route direct — no third-party relay, no per-order surcharge, no broker lock-in. TrendSpider's 30+ routes through SignalStack with a 5-trade/mo free cap. | |||||||
| Sub-millisecond signal latency (no network round-trip) | YES | No | No | No | No | N/A (no AI) | No |
| Why it matters: the speed-of-light floor from your laptop to a US-East datacenter and back is ~30-80 ms before any model even runs. Local CPU inference removes that floor entirely. | |||||||
| Calibrated conviction + deterministic NO_TRADE veto | YES (verifier-gated) | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Why it matters: every other tool will always give you "an answer." Qovaryx's verifier head can force NO_TRADE when the specialists disagree or the conviction is uncalibrated — a hard-coded refusal layer no LLM-based competitor has. | |||||||
| Options-specific specialist heads (vol, regime, pattern, earnings) | YES (11 heads, more in next release) | Holly + Money Machine (equity bias) | Options Trader add-on | Symbolic ETF rotation | Single-strategy "robots" | Manual tools only | Generalist Cortex |
| Why it matters: a generalist LLM cannot reason about IV crush, gamma exposure, and regime shifts simultaneously. A cluster of small specialists each trained for one job composes a decision a 70B chat model cannot. | |||||||
| Monthly price | $29.99 | $127 – $254 | $33 – $88 | $40 (promo $5) | $20 – $90/robot | Free w/ Schwab | Free (Gold $5) |
| Why it matters: cloud vendors pay GPU bills every month — that's what you're funding above $80/mo. Local inference shifts compute to hardware you already own, which is why we can sit at $29.99 sustainably. | |||||||
| 30-day free trial | YES | 7-day $7 | 7-day | 14-day | 14-day | Free | Free |
| Why it matters: a real trial means at least one full options expiration cycle. 7-14 day trials don't even cover an earnings cycle or a Fed meeting. | |||||||
| Open research / public devlog | YES (28 articles, HF model cards) | Closed | Closed | Closed | Closed | Closed | Closed |
| Why it matters: every Qovaryx specialist ships with a public model card, the architecture decisions are in /research, and failure cases are written up honestly. No competitor lets you read why their model thinks what it thinks. | |||||||
| Watermarked builds + nuke-switch + signed license | YES (Ed25519) | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Why it matters: because the model lives on your disk, leak prevention has to live on your disk too. Every build is per-user watermarked, every license is Ed25519-signed, and a revoked key can disable a stolen copy in < 1 hour. | |||||||
