Introduction to Locimens

What Locimens is, how local-first AI trading works, and what you need before you install the desktop app.

Last updated 2026-07-08

Locimens is a local-first trading automation platform for MetaTrader 5 (MT5). You run the desktop app on your PC, connect your broker terminal, and deploy licensed AI agents that analyze markets, plan tasks, and can execute trades — while your API keys and trading logic stay on your machine.

What you get

  • Desktop app (Windows) with a modern web UI served locally on loopback
  • MCP bridge that connects the UI to Python trading tools and plugin agents
  • LLM gateway so Ollama or OpenRouter keys never live in browser storage
  • Licensed agent marketplace — install Molly, News Agent, and more
  • Optional Telegram bot to monitor agents, change models, and capture screenshots
  • MT5 integration via Python MetaTrader5 package plus optional Expert Advisors

Architecture at a glance

The Locimens desktop app spawns child services on your PC: MCP bridge, LLM gateway, MT5 MCP server, and any plugin agent MCP servers you install. The UI talks to these locally on your machine. Account sign-in, subscriptions, and marketplace downloads use Locimens cloud services — not your trading keys.
