Trend / QQQ
Trend Follower
Rides an uptrend and steps aside when the trend breaks. The plain-vanilla place most people start.
The catchSat out the 2022 crash — so, less total gain, and far less drawdown.
Automated trading, on your own broker
Clock Out Capital runs the strategy you chose, inside your own brokerage account, through the hours you cannot watch. You set the rules and the risk. It works the shift. You get the log at the end of the day.
Free during the closed betaEvery feature in the top tier, no card.
The session is 3% run. Most of what is left happens while you are still at work.
One session, two sides
Illustrative — a day in the life of one configured bot. Every block on the bottom lane exists because you put it there: the entry condition, the size, the stop, the flat-by-close. We do not add rules of our own, and we never decide what you should trade.
The bench
No rule builders, no indicator soup, no DSL to learn on the way in. Twelve strategies ship with the platform; these three are where most people start. Everything advanced is still there, folded away until you want it.

Accumulate / SPY
Buys on a schedule, and buys harder into weakness. Nothing to watch, nothing to time.
The catchAverages in over time — not an apples-to-apples match against a lump sum.
Mean reversion / AAPL
Waits for a washout in a name you already like, takes a measured swing, gets out at your target.
The catchUltra-conservative — mostly in cash, tiny drawdown, modest return.
Figures are backtested on historical data over the window shown in the catalog — not live results, and not a forecast. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Setup
Alpaca, Coinbase, or one of 15 brokerages through SnapTrade. The connection is trade authorisation on an account that stays entirely yours, and you can revoke it from either side, at any time.
Pick a strategy, then answer questions in dollars: how much per position, where the stop sits, when to stop for the day. Want the rule builder and the raw parameters? They are one click away, folded shut until then.
It works the session. You get a plain log of every action and the reason for it, and a kill switch on every screen. Turn it off mid-trade and it stops — no notice period, no exit fee.
The bright lines
There is no Clock Out Capital wallet, balance or omnibus account. Your cash and your positions sit at your own brokerage the entire time, under your own name. We hold an authorisation to place orders there, and nothing else.
We are not a registered investment adviser and we do not act like one. No buy lists, no calls, no tips. The platform runs the rules you configured; if a rule was not yours, it is not in there.
Every order goes out to a real venue through your broker. There is no internal book, no counterparty relationship with us, and nothing to unwind if we disappear tomorrow.
One control, on every page, in every state. Stop a bot mid-session and it stops. Revoke the broker connection and we lose the ability to do anything at all.
The questions you should ask
Yes. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Backtested or hypothetical performance does not guarantee future results, and a strategy that worked in one market regime can fail in another. Do not put in money you cannot afford to lose. Work out what a trade puts at risk →
No. You set the rules and we execute exactly those, on your broker, through an authorisation you control. There are no discretionary trades — nobody here decides to do something your configuration did not say to do.
No. Clock Out Capital is software. We are not an investment adviser or a broker-dealer, we do not recommend specific securities, and we never hold your funds.
Alpaca for stocks and options. SnapTrade-connected brokers — Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, IBKR among them — for stocks. Coinbase plus 100+ CEX venues for crypto. More adapters land as we test them. See the full broker list →
Stop the bot from any screen and it stops. Revoke the broker connection and we lose the ability to place an order at all. Your positions are already in your own account, so there is nothing to withdraw from us and nothing to wait for.

The market is open as you read this, and you are reading this instead of watching it. That is exactly the gap the platform is for.
