Open Tradier account connection below. Select Connect Tradier, then Connect my existing account. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted. In Important Disclosures, select I understand and agree, then Connect Tradier and finish authorization on the broker's site. Return to NexusTrade and let Checking connection finish.

What you should see

The 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.

What you should see

Each stage has a separate artifact to inspect. A simulation curve is not broker account activity.

Step 3 of 4

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.

Step 4 of 4

Verify execution and the pause control

Match portfolio events with broker activity. To pause strategy evaluation switch Automated Trading off and Save Changes in the live Deployment Center.

What you should see

Outstanding broker orders and holdings require their own review; pausing does not automatically sell or cancel them.

Open the filled-in request, review the rules and send it in Aurora when ready. Continue in the same conversation through creation, backtesting and paper observation. Each step returns an artifact you can inspect before continuing.

From 2024-11-01 through 2024-11-29, this one-share example completed 18 round trips and ended at $10002.86 from $10,000. It returned 0.03%, with 0.06% maximum drawdown and $8.42 in recorded fees.

The test used Minute observations, Constant evaluation every 60 seconds and a 0.1% stock fee per fill. The stored IWM buy-and-hold line returned 11.27%. This example holds only one share while the baseline invests the starting capital; compare exposure alongside return. The chart uses the exported hourly snapshots.

Start with the November 29 entries below. The buy was submitted at 10:07 Eastern and filled at 10:08. The exit was submitted at 12:50 and filled at 12:51, before that day's 13:00 close. Follow the separate submission and fill timestamps, then check the holding returned to zero.

Observe it in paper trading

After testing your frozen version, ask Aurora to prepare a new paper deployment from the saved draft. Read back the new simulated portfolio identity and open it in Portfolios. Log the expected signal, actual order status, holdings, fees and any rule revision. Keep the historical backtest, paper history and live account history labeled separately.

Connect and select your Tradier account

Show connect and select your tradier account

Open Tradier account connection below. Select Connect Tradier, then Connect my existing account. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted. In Important Disclosures, select I understand and agree, then Connect Tradier and finish authorization on the broker's site. Return to NexusTrade and let Checking connection finish.

Choose the Tradier account you intend to trade and check its account ID, holdings and buying power. Tradier's API sandbox is separate from NexusTrade paper trading; use the native authorization flow for this connection.

This example trades whole stock shares. The current NexusTrade adapter uses whole stock shares. Keep the chosen account ID with your deployment notes.

Move the paper rules into the live portfolio

Show move the paper rules into the live portfolio
  1. Open the paper portfolio

    Use the separate paper portfolio created from your saved draft. Open its Deployment Center and select Port to Live.

  2. Select Tradier 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Open the returned live portfolio

    Select Open live portfolio. Verify Tradier, the intended account and the imported rules. Select Constant Deployment on the live target, set Evaluation interval (seconds) to 60 and choose Save Changes. Keep the paper test at the same cadence. OpenClose would skip the 30 to 60 minute entry window. Port to Live copies strategies; it does not copy the source portfolio's timing settings.

Follow the first signal and know how to pause

Show follow the first signal and know how to pause

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.

Follow a session from the opening-window signal to the final Filled sell. Read the event timestamps, one-share quantity, fees and resulting position. Check that the close rule left no IWM holding at session end, including a shortened session. Keep the entry window and midday exit together when creating variants.

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.
