Who we are

Systemarchitekten.
Not trading gurus.

Bucher & Ambühl is a Swiss KMU building managed automation — self-hosted infrastructure, autonomous agents, and trading systems that run without hand-holding.

The approach

We build it ourselves.

Self-hosted

Our infrastructure runs on our own VPS, not on someone else's cloud. Docker containers, Traefik reverse proxy, Let's Encrypt certificates. We control the full stack — from DNS to database.

Agent-driven

Ten autonomous agents handle trading, analysis, monitoring, and content. Each has persistent memory, learns from corrections, and improves over time. They're not chatbots — they're workers.

Numbers over noise

We don't sell signals or promise returns. We build systems, measure results, and iterate. The dashboards are public. The performance speaks for itself. Humor is the transport layer.

The story

A long-term environment, not a sprint.

B&A started with a simple observation: the tools for automated trading and AI agents were getting good enough to build real systems — not demos, not prototypes, but things that could run every day and make decisions with real capital.

The first version was messy. A trading script here, a webhook there, a spreadsheet pretending to be a database. But it worked. And every iteration made it better. The script became ZETA. The spreadsheet became Teable. The webhooks became n8n workflows. The ad-hoc prompts became ten autonomous agents with names, personalities, and persistent memory.

Today, B&A runs on two VPS instances, manages three OANDA accounts, and operates ten agents that trade, analyze, monitor, and report — 24/7, without human intervention. The infrastructure is self-hosted, the code is self-maintained, and the philosophy is simple: build it yourself.
