Work through the checks.

Open your MyAlgo environment

Authenticate with your broker

Complete the broker login and any required authentication. Your IBKR username and password belong in the local broker interface.

Review connection settings

Follow the current in-app instructions for port, client ID, permissions and data settings. Values depend on the specific setup; do not guess them.

Validate and review activation

Check broker connection health, instrument permissions and buying power. Complete allocations and Risk Management before deliberately activating.

Your broker holds the assets

Funding, withdrawals and account permissions remain with your brokerage relationship.

Your configuration matters

Choose strategy products, allocation and risk response separately from the connection.

Questions, answered

A few things worth knowing.

When does trading begin?
Buying a subscription alone does not activate trading. You must connect and validate a broker, select purchased strategies, configure allocations and Risk Management, review the complete setup and affirmatively confirm activation.
Why might the software not place an order?
Possible causes include a disconnected broker session, market-session restrictions, insufficient buying power, instrument permissions, quantity rules, a triggered risk stop, delayed data, stale signals or an order rejection. Review the app status and broker messages before contacting support.
Does SquaredQ accept deposits or process withdrawals?
The documented execution software does not implement withdrawal or transfer functionality. Deposits, withdrawals, transfers and account funding are handled through your broker. Never send investment capital to someone claiming it is required to activate a strategy.
