Getting started
The connect-broker wizard, end to end
Seven steps from sign-up to a live bot. Here's exactly what happens at each one — and what stays private at every stage.
Open the wizard →Before you start
What you'll need
- A funded broker account at any broker Soar supports — see the broker list.
- A Cloudflare account(free tier is fine). If you don't have one, you can sign up during the wizard — takes about 60 seconds.
- ~10 minutes the first time through. Most steps are paste-and-continue.
Step by step
The seven steps in order
- 1Profile intakeA few questions about your experience level and what you want the bot to do. Soar uses your answers to set a default risk profile — you can override it at any step.
- 2Review your defaultsSoar shows you the risk profile it picked for you (Conservative / Standard / Aggressive) and what it means in plain English. You can adjust before continuing.
- 3Pick your brokerChoose from Coinbase, Kraken, Alpaca, Interactive Brokers, Gemini, Binance.US, Robinhood, AsterDEX, or Hyperliquid. Each tile shows what assets that broker covers, US-restriction status, and any minimums.
- 4Lock in your risk profileConfirm or customise the risk profile. The slider controls position size as a % of your account, max open positions, and per-trade drawdown limit. Soar can only ever NARROW exposure, never widen it.
- 5Paste your broker API keysFollow the broker-specific Visual Guide to generate keys with the right permissions (read + place orders only — never withdraw). Paste them into Soar. Soar passes them straight into your own Cloudflare Worker without persisting them on Soar servers.
- 6Cloudflare API tokenSoar deploys your bot to YOUR Cloudflare Workers account so the keys live in YOUR infrastructure. You paste a short-lived token that grants Soar permission to create the Worker; you can revoke it any time from your Cloudflare dashboard.
- 7Sign the deployment agreement and deployYou review and sign a formal agreement (ESIGN-compliant, captured to your Document Center as a PDF). Soar then provisions the Worker, ships your keys into its secret store, and starts the bot. Total time from sign → first heartbeat: ~30 seconds.
What Soar never sees
Key safety — the Op 18 invariant
Soar's hard rule:your broker keys NEVER persist on Soar infrastructure. They live only in YOUR Cloudflare Worker secrets. Soar's servers see them once during the ~30-second deploy window — they're not logged, not cached, not backed up. After deploy, the bot signs broker calls directly from your Worker; Soar is no longer in the call path.
