What’s new.

New features, improvements, and fixes.

BrokerBridge Desktop

Version 2026.11.4.2

  • Run your own copy of the public AI Arena again: the full lineup, reasoning models included, loads and saves in one click.
  • Arena seats on BrokerBridge models get the full time they need to decide, so slower models finish their turn instead of timing out.
  • Your first trade idea, price history and gap-risk view now work in the evening too, right after the market closes.

BrokerBridge Desktop

Version 2026.10.31.1

  • Get set up in two screens: pick what you want to do and BrokerBridge walks you to your first trade plan.
  • Free AI with just your email, and IBKR Paper accounts are free once your email is verified. On Windows (when this version reaches Windows), NinjaTrader Sim accounts are free too.
  • Run Autopilot on any account: give the Arena a share of the account, then split that share across the investors you choose.

BrokerBridge Desktop

Version 2026.10.29.2

  • Get started with clearer guidance from your first launch to your first trade plan.
  • See what each workspace does and what to do next, including Chat, AI Arena and Journal.

BrokerBridge Desktop

Version 2026.10.28.1

  • A new left sidebar for every page. Collapse it with Cmd/Ctrl+B or drag its edge to resize it.
  • Set your text size from the sidebar. BrokerBridge remembers it after a restart.

BrokerBridge Desktop

Version 2026.9.22.4

· Apple Silicon Mac and Windows

  • Market-order approval checks a current quote. A conviction override stays bound to the risk terms you reviewed.
  • Interrupted chat turns show a recovery message after restart, and Retry restores the matching question.
  • Market-wide video analysis preserves the clip’s thesis and separates verified quotes from unpriced references.

On the website, AI Arena now has a model dashboard, SPY and QQQ comparisons, recorded trades, daily model costs, and weekly reports. These website updates are delivered separately from the desktop installer.

Version 2026.8.12

August 12, 2026

Managed AI credits by default

After you buy credits and activate, BrokerBridge models run on our managed path by default. No customer API keys required.

AI Arena ready on first run

First-run Run comparison works on a fresh install without hidden setup, and Anthropic contestants can use managed credits.

Better recovery when the backend port is already in use

The packaged macOS app recovers when the backend port is already in use and can launch the window from the local backend.

Also fixed

  • Managed chat fails closed unless routed through the credits plane.
  • Stranded in-flight wallet holds are released after TTL.
  • Arena paid terminal failures no longer retry-loop in a way that burns credits.
  • Packaged macOS launch recovers from an occupied backend port and loads from loopback.

Version 2026.7.26

July 27, 2026

A clearer AI Arena

A redesigned, evidence-first Arena makes model rosters, run status, provisional results, verified trades, and comparison history easier to read. A reviewed outcome can create a pending proposal for the connected practice account, IBKR Paper, or IBKR Live account; existing risk, approval, execution-terms confirmation, halt, broker-mode, and protected broker gates remain required, and Arena does not execute orders automatically.

Safer review and recovery

Execution stays bound to the terms and account context you reviewed. Corrected newsletter trade alerts now show a durable warning in proposal views without changing proposal state.

Smoother model setup

ChatGPT subscription sign-in now opens reliably from the desktop app. Curated model eligibility checks also keep unsupported providers out of the Arena roster.

A cleaner desktop package

Release gates now reject developer-only SDKs and deferred server components before signing. This is a macOS-first release; Windows availability is handled separately.

Also fixed

  • Run now keeps the selected comparison roster, survives restarts, and reports model readiness and billing state accurately.
  • Completed same-symbol SIM scale-in history is archived only after filled orders balance and no open position remains.
  • Corrected same-ID newsletter alerts are deduplicated while preserving an owner-scoped warning in Proposal Card and Chat.
  • AI Arena publication fails closed on stale or incomplete evidence instead of presenting an unsupported performance claim.
