Brokers & Connections
LiquidONE connects directly to your brokerage account via API, functioning as a non-custodial execution layer. Your funds remain at your broker.
Supported Brokers

Paper vs. Live Trading
Paper Execution
Every free account comes with an integrated LiquidONE Paper broker. This utilizes real-time market data (via Yahoo Finance feeds) and simulates fills with a hardcoded 0.02% slippage penalty to reflect realistic conditions. Use paper trading to test strategies and build confidence before risking real capital.
Live Execution
Available on the Trader and Pro tiers, live execution routes orders directly to your connected broker via API. LiquidONE requires trade execution permissions only; we cannot and will never request withdrawal or transfer permissions.
API Security Architecture
Your broker API keys are never stored in plaintext and never transmitted to the client application.
- AES-256-GCM Encryption: Keys are encrypted at the server edge before being persisted to the database.
- Ephemeral Decryption: Keys are decrypted only within the isolated execution engine exactly at the moment an order payload is formatted, and immediately garbage collected.
- Zero-Trust Client: The browser never receives your API secrets back after submission.
