Read-only data connections

Connect broker data without hiding the integration method.

Aether distinguishes production direct APIs, installable bridges and guided file imports. Before setup, traders can see which data path is actually available.

01 / OUTCOME

One ledger, three transparent data paths.

Every connection aims for reliable execution records and explicit account mapping. Aether Ledger does not implement order execution.

Direct APIs

Implemented server-side read paths connect supported providers without exposing secrets to the browser.

Signed bridges

Local platform companions can send executions through an authenticated connector.

Guided imports

Other sources use explicit file profiles instead of being advertised as live integrations.

Connection truth

API, bridge and import are not the same.

Direct APIs run server-side. Bridges need a local companion. Import profiles process files. Aether labels the difference before setup.

02 / WORKFLOW

Choose the right path for the platform

A clear workflow keeps capture, analysis and decisions inside the same system.

Find the source

Search for the broker or platform and inspect its current connection status.

Set up read-only access

Provide only the data access or companion configuration that the selected path requires.

Verify the result

Test the connection, map the remote account and inspect synchronization status.

03 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The most important capabilities and boundaries, answered clearly.

Does every listed broker have a direct live API?+

No. Direct APIs, bridges and file imports are labeled separately, and the setup dialog shows the available path.

Why does NinjaTrader need a bridge?+

A local NinjaScript companion reads executions inside the platform and sends them to the personal Aether connector with a signature.

Are broker passwords stored in the browser?+

No. Server-side credentials are not stored as clear text in the browser. Local bridges use a separate signing secret.
