Broker setup
Raxx works alongside the brokerage account you already have. Your funds stay at your broker. Raxx enforces the rules you define on top of your existing account.
Before you connect
You need an account at a supported broker before connecting to Raxx. Raxx does not open brokerage accounts on your behalf. If you do not have a broker account yet, open one through your broker directly and return here once it is active.
Connecting your broker account
- Log in to Raxx and go to Settings → Broker connection.
- Select your broker from the list of supported connections.
- You are redirected to your broker's authorization page. Log in with your broker credentials there — Raxx never sees or stores your broker password.
- Grant the requested permissions. Raxx requests read access to positions and balances and the ability to place orders on your behalf. It does not request funds-transfer or account-management permissions.
- After authorization, you are redirected back to Raxx. The connection status on the Settings page updates to show your account is connected.
Verifying the connection
After connecting, the broker connection status on the Settings page shows:
- Connected — Raxx can read your positions and place orders.
- Read-only — Authorization was granted but order placement is restricted. Check your broker account's API permission settings.
- Expired — The authorization token expired. Use the Reconnect button to re-authorize.
- Disconnected — The connection was revoked or not yet established.
Disconnecting your broker
Go to Settings → Broker connection and select Disconnect. This revokes Raxx's access to your broker account. It does not close your broker account or affect any open positions.
If Raxx placed orders before you disconnected, those orders remain with your broker as placed. Raxx does not cancel open orders when the connection is removed.
Reconnecting after expiry
Broker authorization tokens expire periodically as a security measure imposed by your broker. When the token expires, Raxx stops placing orders and shows a reconnection prompt on the dashboard. Use the Reconnect button in Settings → Broker connection to re-authorize.
Multiple broker accounts
Raxx currently supports connecting one broker account at a time. If you need to change which account is connected, disconnect the current connection and reconnect with the new account.
