EMPOBOT turns 27 time-tested stock and options strategies into an autopilot you control: dollar budgets, a stock screener, a strategy advisor, and an AI assistant that shows its work before it invests.
Starts with simulated money. No card needed to join the waitlist.

The vision
Investing should run on rules you can read.
Most people lose money in the market by reacting: buying the hype, selling the panic. Professional desks avoid that with written rules, risk limits and records of every decision. EMPOBOT gives anyone that same discipline: a strategy is chosen on evidence, sized by a budget you set, executed on schedule, and logged so you can see exactly why every trade happened.
Risk you can see
Budgets cap what each strategy can touch. Backtests show the worst drop next to the return, not just the upside.
AI that shows its work
The assistant screens, backtests and explains each pick, inside a dollar limit enforced in code.
How the engine decides
From 1,497 stocks to one decision.
Ask for “$200 in whatever's trending” and the engine narrows every liquid US stock and ETF down step by step. If no strategy holds up across every test period, it skips the stock instead of guessing.
Every liquid US listing over $5, refreshed before each open
e.g. Momentum leaders: above the 50- and 200-day averages, +10% in 3 months
Trend, RSI, volatility, distance from the 52-week high
8 strategies × 3 periods, scored by return per unit of drawdown
Only if it held up in every period; otherwise the stock is skipped
Within your dollar limit, traded on schedule, every fill logged
Evidence, not promises
Five years of Apple, four ways.
A real backtest from the same engine that runs the bot. Holding did best on raw return here, and we show that plainly. What the rules buy you is a smaller worst drop, and that's the difference between sticking with a plan and bailing out at the bottom.

Hypothetical results on daily closes, no commissions or slippage. Buy and hold earned the most here; the rules traded some of that return for smaller drops. Past results don't predict future returns.

What it does
A trading desk that follows its own rules.
Everything a disciplined desk has: strategies, position budgets, research tools and an audit trail. Each piece works on its own and together.
01 / Strategies
Nine classic stock strategies, ready to run.
From slow trend filters to short-term pullbacks. Each one has a chart, a backtest against buy and hold, and a one-line rule.
Monthly DCA200-day trend filterGolden cross 50/200Dual momentum20/50 crossoverMACD 12/26/9
02 / Budgets
Give it $100. Watch what the rules do with it.
Each budget trades only its own money with one strategy, in fractional shares. Gains and losses carry forward, and every fill is on the record.
03 / Swing & day
Daily or every five minutes.
Swing budgets trade at the open. Day budgets trade on 5-minute bars and go to cash before the close.
04 / AI assistant
Ask in plain English.
“Put $200 into what's trending.” It screens, backtests, picks a stock or options strategy and sets up the budgets, within a dollar limit you set.
05 / Screener & advisor
Find the stock, then the strategy.
Screen for momentum, pullbacks or breakouts, then rank every strategy across three periods by return per unit of drawdown.
06 / Options
Eighteen options strategies, sized and managed for you.
Build any strategy from the live chain and see max profit, max loss, breakevens and the chance of profit before you trade. Options budgets open positions within a risk limit, take profit, cut losses and roll before expiry.

● Strategy library
27 strategies. Every rule in one sentence.
Each strategy is a written rule the bot follows exactly, with a backtest you can check first. Pick one yourself, or let the advisor rank them on the stock you care about.

Guardrails
Built to say no.
The limits that matter are enforced in code, not left to good intentions or an AI's judgment.
- Dollar limits. The AI can't spend past the limit you set. It starts at $0.
- No penny stocks. Nothing under $5, no warrants, only liquid, fractionable shares.
- Honest backtests. When no strategy made money, the advisor says so and won't recommend one.
- No overnight surprises. Day budgets are in cash before the closing bell.
- Your budgets stay yours. The assistant can only change budgets it created.
