OpenProphet: Open-Source Autonomous Trading Agent with Web UI
OpenProphet is a second iteration of the Claude_Prophet project, built with Claude Opus 4.6 over two days. It's described as a "totally autonomous Openclaw like webui" that opens in a browser.
Key Features and Functionality
The tool represents a shift from the original approach where users would "just use Claude code and say 'Go trade with these rules'." Instead, OpenProphet provides:
- Browser-based interface
- Support for multiple Alpaca accounts simultaneously
- Runs on OpenCode
- Ability to attach any LLM (not just Claude)
- Configuration for Agent Personas and Strategies
- Simple stop/start functionality
- Ability for the agent itself to update configuration rules
Important Clarifications
The creator emphasizes several key points about the tool's nature:
- This is not a high-frequency trading bot
- It functions as "more so a proxy of your own strategy"
- The agent typically plans exits and sets limit orders rather than executing instant orders
- Addresses previous criticism about "unrealistic fills" by explaining the limit order approach
Project Details and Resources
The project is completely free and open-source. The creator notes they "don't recommend trading with real money, but there is no way to stop you from setting up a live alpaca markets key."
Additional resources include:
- Website for non-technical users: www.openprophet.io (offers one-click deployment scripts, pre-made templates, and documentation)
- GitHub repository: www.github.com/jakenesler/openprophet
- Original project: www.github.com/jakenesler/claude_prophet
- Medium article detailing the original experiment: https://medium.com/@jakenesler/i-gave-claude-code-100k-to-trade-with-in-the-last-month-and-beat-the-market-ece3fd6dcebc
The original Claude_Prophet project received significant attention with over 90k views, 209 GitHub stars, and 17.5k views on Medium. The creator notes recent "explosion in Claude trading posts" as motivation for this second iteration.

Local Trello-style project manager for OpenClaw agents using markdown files
A developer built a local Trello board for managing projects with OpenClaw agents, using Node.js + Express for the API, React + react-trello for the UI, and markdown files with YAML frontmatter as the data layer. The system runs on the OpenClaw machine and is accessed locally, with agents reading/writing card files directly on the filesystem.
