Start with the introduction
How Anthid fits between your systems and your brokers, in about five minutes of reading.
What Anthid provides
Broker connectivity
Connect Alpaca and Lightspeed accounts, paper or live, and trade them the same way. Broker credentials are stored encrypted.
Pre-trade controls
Kill switches, size limits, and trading windows at the organization, account, or symbol level. Applied before an order reaches a broker.
A durable record
Every instruction, every refusal, and every control change recorded against the credential behind it, and kept for six years.
Live updates and history
Order and position activity as it happens, plus queryable history for reporting and reconciliation.
How it works
1
Connect a trading account
Link a supported broker account through the dashboard. Anthid maintains the connection and reports its health.
2
Set your limits
Configure kill switches, order size limits, and trading windows. Changes apply without redeploying anything.
3
Send orders
Your systems submit orders to one API. Anthid checks them against your limits, routes them to the connected broker, and records what was asked for.
4
See what happened
Order and position updates arrive as the broker reports them, and the full history stays queryable for reporting, reconciliation, and review.
Evaluating Anthid
What we record
What is captured on every order, how long it is kept, and what that means for a registered firm.
How credentials are held
How broker credentials are protected and how one client’s data is kept out of another’s.
What each broker supports
Order types, routes, and time-in-force values, broker by broker, with the gaps stated.
Both broker integrations are currently in beta: usable in production and exercised end to end, still being hardened, and carrying no service level commitment. See Integration stability.
For your engineers
Quickstart
Connect a paper account and send a first order.
API reference
Authentication, endpoints, request and response shapes, and the streaming API.
