At a glance
TradersPost and Horizon both get a strategy to run unattended through your own broker, and they part ways on where the strategy lives. With TradersPost the strategy stays in TradingView or TrendSpider; its alerts hit a webhook and TradersPost places the orders. With Horizon the strategy is built, tested and run in one place from a plain-English description, with no charting tool in the loop, and Discover adds strategies you can copy.
