Connect your first broker

A broker connects from the Integrations page in one of three ways. Nyria Paper takes one click. Charles Schwab, Tradier live and tastytrade take a sign-in at the broker. Tradier paper and Alpaca take an API key you generate in the broker's dashboard.

Connect a broker

1. Pick a broker

Choose by what you want to trade:

• Testing only → Nyria Paper
• Stocks and options → Charles Schwab, Tradier, tastytrade or Alpaca
• Crypto spot → Alpaca
• Crypto perpetuals → currently Nyria Paper only
• Several asset types → tastytrade (stocks, options) or Alpaca (stocks, options, crypto spot)

Crypto at tastytrade is disabled through its API (its developer release notes, 29 June 2026), so use Nyria Paper or Alpaca for crypto.

2. Connect it

1. Select Integrations in the left sidebar.

2. Find your broker in the Brokers grid and select its card.

3. Choose the account type, where the broker offers both:

   • Connect paper account: simulated funds
   • Connect live account: real money

4. Finish the connection. How depends on the broker:

   • One click: Nyria Paper. Nothing to fill in
   • Broker sign-in: Charles Schwab, Tradier live and tastytrade. The broker's site opens, you grant Nyria the permissions, and you come back
   • API credentials: Tradier paper and Alpaca. Generate a key in the broker's own dashboard and paste it in

3. Check the connection

Check the integration shows Connected, the right account number, and Paper or Live.

Account types

Paper trading

There are two kinds, and they test different things: Nyria Paper, simulated inside Nyria, and a broker's own paper account, where the broker simulates the fills. Paper trading compares them.

Only Nyria Paper, Tradier and Alpaca offer a paper account.

Live trading

A live account places real orders with real money in your brokerage account. You connect it the same way as a paper account. Only the account type differs.

Several integrations

You can connect several accounts at one broker, paper and live. Each one is a separate integration, and each bot trades exactly one of them.

Manage integrations

Connection status

An integration is one of:

• Connected: ready to use
• Disconnected: Nyria can no longer use it. Select Reconnect
• Not connected: never set up, or removed

Reconnect

If an integration shows Disconnected:

1. Select the integration.
2. Select Reconnect.
3. Sign in at the broker again, or enter a new API key.

Remove an account

1. Close the account's open positions. Removing it closes nothing, and Nyria can't exit them afterwards.
2. Select the broker's card, open the account's ⋯ menu, then Remove account and Remove.

Supported brokers

Until yours is live, test your strategy for free on paper, or use any other live broker.

Troubleshooting

Sign-in to the broker fails

Allow pop-ups for the broker's domain and try again in a private window.

Nyria is missing a permission

Grant every permission the broker asks for. Nyria needs to read accounts and positions, and to place and cancel orders.
