Live trading

Real orders on your own exchange accounts, only after your explicit sign-off.

Connect an exchange account

Add an exchange account under Live Trading with your own API keys. Keys are encrypted at rest with a key-encryption key and never appear in the interface, logs or the repository. Each account is scoped to your workspace and to the venue it belongs to.

Authorise a strategy

Nothing trades real money until you sign off. Promote to live from a strategy page or the live page's Add strategy button, choose the account, and confirm by typing the strategy name. The sign-off is stored as a release record with your identity and the exact code artifact.

The live engine

The live engine mirrors the strategy's decisions to the venue, keeps a ledger of orders and fills, and reconciles positions with the exchange. Circuit breakers pause trading on daily loss, drawdown and error thresholds you can review in the risk limits.

Stop first

Stop and flatten are always available and act before anything else: a stop cancels open orders and closes positions on the venue, and the engine recovers state from its ledger after a crash. A strategy that is stopped stays stopped until you authorise it again.

What the page shows

Positions, orders, fills, account balances and risk usage are read from the venue through a cached client per account, so the page stays responsive. Every figure is the exchange's own.

Before going live

Run the strategy in paper trading first, compare its paper parity, and read its risk review. Start with a small capital allocation, and keep the daily loss limit conservative until the live record matches the paper record.
