How Caliber Engine works with E*TRADE
Three steps from a connected E*TRADE account to autonomous trading.
Connect your E*TRADE account
Link E*TRADE through a secure webhook bridge. Your funds stay inside E*TRADE — the engine only sends trade instructions.
Set capital and risk
Tell the engine how much of your E*TRADE balance to deploy and the risk parameters it must respect.
Hands-free execution on E*TRADE
Caliber Engine scans, evaluates, sizes, and routes orders to your E*TRADE account autonomously. Every decision logged in real time.
Why E*TRADE users choose Caliber Engine
No platform to learn
E*TRADE Pro is powerful but it does not trade for you. Caliber Engine does — without scripts, indicators, or chart babysitting.
Discipline by default
Same setup criteria, same sizing, same exits — every trade. No emotion, no overtrading, no FOMO.
Trade while life happens
Markets do not wait. The engine runs your E*TRADE account during the hours you cannot.
Your capital stays at E*TRADE
Caliber Engine never holds your funds. Everything stays inside your E*TRADE account, exactly where it already is.
Built for E*TRADE traders who want a real autopilot
E*TRADE has been a default choice for retail traders for decades. The catch is that E*TRADE — like every retail broker — does not actually trade for you. Caliber Engine fills that gap with an autonomous AI engine, powered by Anthropic Claude, that reads market regime, evaluates probability, sizes positions, and manages risk on your behalf.
Once E*TRADE is connected, the engine handles the full trade lifecycle: scanning, deciding, entering, managing stops, taking partials, trailing runners, and closing out. Each outcome is logged so the engine's next decision benefits from the last one. You see every trade in your dashboard, but you never have to make one yourself.
Caliber Engine focuses on US equities and ETFs. You can dedicate part of your E*TRADE balance to autonomous execution and continue trading the rest yourself.
