SignalDesk AI trading assistant and co-pilot for brokers, desks and prop firms

SignalDesk is an AI trading co-pilot for trading desks, prop firms and broker research teams. Traders ask questions in plain English; the assistant calls EntropyX's proprietary quant tools (multi-asset forecasting, volatility regimes, news shock scoring and entropy-based pattern detection) across 1,000+ symbols in FX, equities, indices, commodities and crypto, and answers with a conviction score and a visible tool trace.

How does SignalDesk work?

Pilot in two to three weeks
01

Connect your universe

We wire your market-data feeds and the symbol universe you trade. Existing data vendors are reused where possible.

02

Configure tools and guardrails

Choose which quant tools the assistant may call, set conviction thresholds and define what it must never do.

03

Traders start asking

The desk works in chat. Each answer carries its tool trace, so a reviewer can see exactly which model produced which number.

04

Review and improve

Logs feed a weekly review. Prompts, tools and thresholds are tuned with your desk, not for it.

The research inside

Two peer-reviewed papers in Entropy (MDPI) underpin the pattern and tail-risk tools.

Research page
Entropy-Assisted Quality Pattern Identification in Finance

SignalDesk's pattern-recognition tools apply this entropy filter when ranking setups, which is why its pattern alerts carry a consistency score rather than a hit count.

doi 10.3390/e27040430
Signatures of Extreme Events in Cumulative Entropic Spectrum

The volatility-regime and tail-risk tools in SignalDesk use cumulative entropic measures alongside realised volatility, so regime warnings do not depend on variance alone.

This product is software licensed to businesses. It is not investment advice, it does not guarantee any outcome, profit or return, and the operator is responsible for how it is configured and used. Trading carries substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. Full risk disclosure.

How is SignalDesk priced?

SignalDesk uses the same three components as every EntropyX product: a product licence, a one-time setup for integration, and an optional support plan. Prices are not listed because setup depends on your stack and the licence on your scale; a written quote arrives within one business day of a scoping call.

Request a quote How quotes are built

Licence

A subscription or annual licence. Self-hosted licences cover the software and updates; managed cloud adds hosting, monitoring and backups.

Setup and integration

A one-time, fixed-scope project scoped in writing after discovery: connecting Market data feeds, MetaTrader 5, REST and WebSocket APIs, EntropyX Chat and Slack, plus data migration where needed. Typical time to live: pilot in two to three weeks.

Support

Standard support in business hours (08:00–22:00 IST, Monday to Saturday) is included. Priority support adds a named engineer, response targets by severity and scheduled reviews.

What moves the number

Users, accounts or clients on the product; self-hosted versus managed cloud; the integrations you need; jurisdictions or chains to cover; the support level. Bundles with FX Auto-Pilot, EA Panel, EntropyX Chat share one setup and are priced together. Monthly subscriptions carry no long-term commitment; annual licences are discounted; invoicing in USD or INR.

Is an AI trading assistant investment advice? Where the line sits for brokers and prop firms

An AI trading assistant is software that answers questions, ranks instruments and flags conditions from data; investment advice is a personal recommendation to a specific person about a specific trade. Most regulators draw the line at the personal recommendation, so the assistant's design, wording and logs decide which side of it a broker or prop firm sits.

Entropy in financial markets, explained: what it measures and how desks use it

Entropy measures how unpredictable a series is: high entropy means price moves carry little usable information, low entropy means they follow a consistent structure. Desks use it to filter chart patterns, detect regime changes and see tail risk building, because it responds to the shape of a distribution rather than only its variance.

How to start a prop trading firm: the technology checklist

A prop trading firm needs eight systems before selling its first evaluation: a trading platform, an evaluation and rules engine, a CRM with KYC and payouts, a payment stack, a risk and exposure console, a support desk, research tools for funded traders, and recordkeeping. Firms usually license most of these and build only the rules that make them different.

FAQ

SignalDesk questions

Answers about SignalDesk for buyers and reviewers. For anything else, the contact page reaches an engineer.

Is SignalDesk investment advice?

No. SignalDesk is an assistant, not an adviser. It surfaces, ranks and explains signals produced by quant tools; it does not recommend trades for any person and it does not guarantee any outcome. Your desk's own process decides what to do with the analysis.

Does SignalDesk place trades?

No. SignalDesk analyses and explains. Execution lives in separate products (FX Auto-Pilot, EA Panel) and only under rules your operator configures and approves.

Which markets does it cover?

FX, equities, indices, commodities and crypto, across 1,000+ symbols. The universe is scoped to the instruments your desk actually trades.

Can we plug in our own models or data?

Yes. Tools are modular. Your proprietary models, signals or data vendors can be registered as tools the assistant calls, with the same logging as ours.

How is SignalDesk different from an assistant built into a trading platform?

A platform assistant answers inside one vendor's terminal. SignalDesk is a standalone research layer: it calls the quant tools you enable (forecasts, entropy-based regime detectors, news shock scoring), shows the tool trace behind every answer, runs in managed cloud or your VPC, and reaches traders through MetaTrader 5, REST and WebSocket APIs, EntropyX Chat or Slack.

Where does our data live?

Either in a managed cloud tenant or fully self-hosted in your VPC. Conversation memory, logs and model access stay inside the deployment you choose.
