How to connect any algorithm

  1. Browse available algorithms at dash.hextrade.io/algos.
  2. Open the algorithm detail page and review its performance metrics.
  3. Navigate to Connected Accounts and link one of your broker accounts.
  4. Set an appropriate risk level before activating.
Always review an algorithm’s performance history and set risk carefully before going live. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
