Live trading

Live trading routes real exchange orders from the same cockpit you paper-trade in. It needs the Trader or Desk tier and a connected desktop client that bridges your exchange account. A status dot shows the connection - green when online, gray when off - and if the desktop goes offline, orders fall back to the paper sim so nothing fires into a dead bridge.

Overview

The desktop client is the bridge: it holds your exchange session and relays the orders you place in Nocterm out to the market. The status dot tells you the bridge state: green means online and routing, gray means offline. While it’s offline, the panel falls back to the paper simulator, so a click still does something safe instead of vanishing.

You choose how cautious each order is with a safety mode: Arm asks you to confirm before the order goes out, while One-Click sends immediately. As orders move through the gateway, toasts report each step - placed, filled, or rejected with a reason.

How to use

Open the desktop client and let it connect to your exchange account.
Flip the panel to Live and confirm the status dot is green.
