Your hosted account and connection

PTQ runs in your browser or through a Claude connection to the same account. The engine stays on our servers.

  • 01

    No hosted broker connection

    Hosted PTQ does not collect broker keys or send orders to a broker. Never put broker credentials in prompts, notes or support messages.

  • 02

    Claude uses your hosted account

    Claude can build and test strategies and place simulated practice orders. Requests and results travel between your client and hosted PTQ.

  • 03

    Practice orders only

    Browser and Claude orders use practice money. Live trading is not available here.

  • 04

    A revocable connection

    Revoke a connection in Connect Claude and its link stops working. Each request gets a fresh licence check.

Client and server

What crosses the connection

The Claude Code connector stores your PTQ credential in a private file on the client. It sends that credential to hosted PTQ over HTTPS for authentication. Tool requests go to the server and results return to Claude. The connector redacts the saved credential from returned messages.

For Claude Desktop or claude.ai, paste the private link into connector settings. Keep the link and licence key out of chats, screenshots and shared documents. PTQ stores a hash of the connection token and never shows the link again.

A connection can change account data and spend credits, so ask for costs and approve changes before Claude makes them.

The licence gate

Access is checked on the server

The browser and Claude use the same account's strategies and credit balance. A revoked connection, an inactive licence or a licence PTQ cannot check is refused. Revocation does not undo work already completed.

Practice checks

Checks before a simulated fill

Every practice order needs confirmation and validation evidence, then passes risk, quote and portfolio checks. A refused request is not a fill.

Honest limits

Limits to understand

  • No engine archive

    The full engine is not available for download. Claude Code's small connector only connects to hosted PTQ. Its published checksum checks the file, not the safety of every action it can request.

  • Protect your connection link

    Someone with the private link can use it to access your account's tools while the connection and licence are valid. Revoke an exposed link and create a new one.

  • Simulation is not live execution

    Practice fills are simulated inside PTQ and do not reproduce broker execution. A passed test does not establish future performance.

  • Provider coverage varies

    History is fetched and cached from configured providers, with no preloaded universal dataset. Coverage varies by market, interval and date, and a listed market may lack usable history.

Questions

Asked most often

Where do I put my Claude connection credential?
Follow the setup in Connect Claude for your client. Enter the private link only in connector settings or the hidden terminal prompt, never in chat, screenshots or shared documents. Claude Code keeps it in a private file on your computer, sends it over HTTPS and redacts it from returned messages.
How does the licence check work?
Each hosted request is authenticated with a fresh licence check. A revoked connection, an inactive licence or a check that cannot run stops the request. Revoking a connection in Connect Claude stops its link but does not undo completed work. PTQ stores a hash of the connection token and never shows the link again.
Can the connection place live trades?
No. Browser and Claude orders use practice money. Live trading is not available here. Installing a connector does not connect a broker or enable live execution. Practice submissions need confirmation and validation evidence, then pass hosted risk, quote and portfolio checks.
Do I download the PTQ engine?
No. PTQ is proprietary and the full engine is not available as a downloadable archive. Use the browser or a licensed hosted Claude connection. Claude Code uses a small connector with a published checksum, not a signed desktop engine installer. The connector does not provide offline trading tools or live execution.
