Brokers And Platforms
Broker, platform, signal, and protocol connectors
Connect broker-market accounts, trading platforms, webhook signals, and institutional-style protocols only after the customer account supports the workflow.
Save only the keys needed for the selected workflow. A stored credential does not grant live trade authority by itself; mode, license, adapter, account permission, and deterministic risk checks still apply.
