At a glance
Tickeron and Horizon both put AI to work on trading, and they part ways on whose strategy it is. Tickeron's AI agents are its own models: you subscribe to an agent, follow its signals by hand or on a virtual account, and it does not build strategies for you. Horizon's AI builds your strategy from your own description, shows you the rules and the backtest, and runs it in your broker account, with a marketplace of strategies that creators are running live.
