Every trading connector makes your AI more capable.
Tally makes it accountable.
There are good MCP connectors for trading — for market data, for execution, for reviewing your history. They all make your AI more powerful. Tally is the one that makes it answer to the rules you wrote before the money moved. It's a different job, and it works alongside the others.
Market-data connectors charts, screeners, unusual options flow | Execution connectors let your AI place and manage orders | AI trading journals read your past trades, surface patterns | Tally the risk officer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it gives your AI | Live market data to research with | The ability to place trades | Statistics on trades you already made | Rules it must hold you to |
| Touches your orders? | No | Yes — it can trade for you | No | No — read-only by architecture, never trades |
| When it acts | Before — during research | At the moment of the trade | After — during review | Before and during — the rules bind from entry to exit |
| Can the record be rewritten? | — | — | Freely — edit or delete entries | No — exit rules freeze when armed; breaking one is logged forever |
| Makes your AI… | More informed | More powerful | More reflective | Accountable — it can't talk you out of your own exit |
| What you walk away with | Signals and charts | Filled orders | Analytics dashboards | A public receipt, graded on process and outcome |
What Tally is not.
Tally is not a data feed, a broker, or a backtester, and it won't place a trade for you — it can't, by design. Keep using your charts, your screeners, your execution tools. Tally sits underneath all of them and holds the one thing they don't: the rules you set for yourself, in a record neither you nor your AI can quietly rewrite.
