Monstra provides software tools for education, simulation, research, and portfolio tracking. Monstra is not a brokerage, broker-dealer, or custodian, and it does not provide personalized investment advice. Your brokerage provider maintains your account, holds any assets, and operates the execution environment.

Monstra supports linking paper trading accounts only. Live brokerage connections and live order execution are not available, and no real money is involved in any order Monstra places.

Once you link a paper account, Monstra may read supported account information (such as balances, positions, and orders), display it in your dashboard, retrieve market prices, and prepare rebalance previews. If you enable automation, Monstra may also place, adjust, or cancel simulated paper orders in that account.

Monstra does not choose which brokerage account to trade in and does not trade in an account you have not linked.

The recommended way to link is secure authorization on your brokerage's own site. You sign in with your brokerage and approve access there. Monstra never sees your brokerage password and receives an access token limited to the permissions shown on the approval screen, which are trading and market data.

As an advanced option, you can instead paste a paper API key and secret. Use paper trading keys only, and never enter keys from a live account.

Whichever method you use, the resulting access token or API credentials are encrypted before they are stored on Monstra servers, and Monstra uses them only for the paper account features described on this page.

Automation is optional and is governed by the paper trading automation consent you give in Monstra. If you have given that consent, linking a paper account can turn on scheduled automation for that account. Once on, Monstra may place, adjust, or cancel simulated paper orders on its morning and afternoon schedules without asking you to approve each trade.

You can pause, resume, or disable automation at any time. If you have already paused or disabled automation, linking an account does not turn it back on. Automated execution is limited to verified paper accounts; if the connection is removed or cannot be verified, automation is blocked or disabled until you link an eligible paper account.

You can disconnect your brokerage account at any time from the Brokerage page in your account menu. Disconnecting deletes the access token or API credentials Monstra has stored for that connection and disables automation, which you must explicitly re-enable after linking an account again. Deleting your Monstra account also removes any stored brokerage credentials.

You may also be able to review or revoke Monstra's access from your brokerage account settings, depending on what your brokerage provider offers.

Monstra's brokerage connections are provided through third-party brokerage APIs. Alpaca is currently the supported brokerage integration partner. Monstra may add other partners over time.

Bot signals, target allocations, rankings, and rebalance previews are algorithmic outputs and not personalized financial advice. Monstra does not guarantee profits, performance, suitability, or returns.

If you need investment, tax, or legal advice, consult appropriately licensed professionals rather than relying on Monstra or its algorithmic outputs.
