Overview
Capitalise.ai is a no-code trading automation platform that lets retail traders write strategies in plain English — "Buy BTC when RSI crosses below 30, sell when profit reaches 20%" — and execute them automatically across connected broker and exchange accounts. Founded in Israel in 2015, it was acquired by Kraken in August 2025, and its technology is being integrated into Kraken Pro.
The standalone capitalise.ai platform remains live and free to use. It is a no-code tool in the AI trading bot space: users write strategies in natural language rather than Python or Pine Script — users write strategies in natural language rather than Python or Pine Script. Backtesting, paper trading, TradingView alert integration, and 24/7 automated execution are currently available at no platform cost, though Capitalise.ai notes this may change in the future.
The platform's main constraint is broker dependency: Capitalise.ai requires a currently supported broker or exchange partner for live execution. Current official partners include CFI Financial, FXCM, AvaTrade, Tickmill, FOREX.com, Binance, Eightcap, and ACY Securities. Users outside the partner network cannot connect their accounts.

Key Features

- Paper / simulated trading — Run a strategy in real-time market conditions with zero financial risk. Build confidence in execution behavior and market timing before switching to a live account.
- TradingView alerts integration — Use any TradingView technical indicator or chart pattern as a trigger for automated execution, bridging charting workflow and order placement without manual intervention.

- Smart notifications — Receive real-time alerts via mobile or email when market conditions match strategy criteria, with trade execution reports delivered automatically.
