Open Alpaca account connectionThe request prepares a saved artifact; it does not authorize an immediate live deployment.
Read historical and paper evidence separately
Follow creation, historical testing and paper observation in the same conversation. Retain the returned saved draft, test and running paper identities.
Each stage has a separate artifact to inspect. A simulation curve is not broker account activity.
Connect and review the broker target
Open this broker's native connection. From the tested paper portfolio's Deployment Center choose Port to Live and review the added/disabled strategies before confirming.
Connect AlpacaConfirm & Port can activate the live target. Inspect its account identity, trading policy, orders and active state.

Check which Alpaca account environment you authorized, then compare the imported account and buying power with Alpaca. An Alpaca paper account and a NexusTrade simulated portfolio have separate histories. This adapter uses a single account connection.
This example trades whole stock shares. The current NexusTrade adapter also supports fractional stock shares. Verify the imported account identity before attaching the strategy.

Open the paper portfolio
Use the separate paper portfolio created from your saved draft. Open its Deployment Center and select Port to Live.
Select Alpaca and inspect the changes
Read the incoming rules and existing active strategies. The confirmation shows which existing rules will be disabled. Keep the paper source so you can compare later observations.
Confirm the intended deployment
Select Confirm & Port when the comparison is correct. If active strategies already exist, the button reads Disable existing & Port. This confirmation can activate the live target.
Open the returned live portfolio
Select Open live portfolio. Verify Alpaca, the intended account and the imported rules. Review the live target's evaluation mode after porting. OpenClose checks near the session's open and close; Constant checks repeatedly at the chosen interval. Keep the observation interval and evaluation cadence in your test notes.

Review the live portfolio's trading policy and daily limit in the app. Only you can enable automated order approval through the account application or portfolio settings. Aurora can help inspect the rules and events; it does not enable that policy.
When the trend changes, compare the recorded 50-day and 200-day averages, the position guard and the Filled order. Check the resulting cash and GOOG holding in both NexusTrade and your broker account.
To pause strategy evaluation, open Deployment Center, switch Automated Trading off and choose Save Changes. Check that the same live portfolio is paused. Inspect open broker orders and current holdings separately. For a recurring Aurora review, also pause its schedule in Agents.
