How the integration works
Elev8 connects a client's AI to their trading account using a Model Context Protocol (MCP). An open standard developed by Anthropic, MCP allows an AI assistant to request and receive specific data from the Elev8 web terminal. It serves as a bridge between external AI applications and data sources, such as databases, trading terminals, personal accounts, and analytics software. Through this integration, traders can link their preferred agentic AI directly to their Elev8 trading account.
Connecting an AI assistant requires just a few manual steps. Elev8 provides clear guides for ChatGPT Web, ChatGPT Desktop, Claude Web, and Claude Desktop to walk clients through setup. The process takes a few minutes and works with both free and paid versions of those assistants.
What Elev8 AI assistant can and cannot do
The AI-enhanced setup operates strictly on a read-only basis. In other words, the AI assistant would study the data that a trader permits it to access and explain it in plain terms. It does not place trades. It does not move funds. It cannot modify a trader's account. Instead, it processes account data and provides a clear, simple explanation, allowing traders to uncover more insights and make their sessions more efficient.
Once connected, the AI assistant can read and explain several types of account information:
- account balances and trading conditions
- available instruments and technical analysis patterns
- trade history and P&L
- open positions and pending orders.
A trader can send direct queries regarding market analytics and specific account data and get an immediate response. For example, a trader may ask questions such as:
- What is my current balance?
- How many orders did I place in the last twelve days?
- Do I have enough equity to initiate 5 full lots on XAUUSD?
- What is currently the most oversold instrument among my favourites based on a 14-day RSI?
There are virtually no limits to the types of questions a trader can explore. Users can even ask about execution errors, evaluate strategy performance, assess real-time risk exposure and see more actionable analytics with very little manual effort. The AI sends the requests through MCP to the Elev8 terminal. The terminal returns the relevant data. The AI then explains the information in simple language.
Elev8 assistant’s security and control benefits
Traders retain complete ownership of their data and security. Account passwords are never shared with the external AI tool, and clients can disconnect the protocol at any time.
Also, it is important to remember that all external AI assistants remain independent third-party software. Elev8 provides the connection layer but does not own these AI tools and is not responsible for the analysis, responses, or information generated by them. The feature is designed to give clients a straightforward way to inspect their own trading data using the technology they already rely on every day.
Elev8 web terminal
The change reflects a broader shift among a growing number of brokers toward open protocols that allow clients to bring their preferred AI tools. Elev8 continues to develop its platform so traders can work with current technology without leaving the environment they already know.
Indeed, this update forms part of ongoing work on the Elev8 web terminal. The goal is to reduce the time traders spend searching through statements and charts so they can see more of what truly matters in their trading. By letting the AI summarise the account in clear language, the platform becomes easier to use for both new and experienced clients. The new feature is available only on the Elev8 web terminal.
Traders should note, however, that external AI models remain separate tools. Elev8 does not treat the AI’s answers as advice or recommendations and accepts no responsibility for the answers the AI generates or for the accuracy or usefulness of its output.
