Equities and crypto run on your own market-data key rather than ours. You bring the key, the terminal holds it in your operating system's keychain, and your data bill stays between you and your provider.
Real-time and historical
Live trades and quotes arrive over a websocket; historical bars come over REST and back both the charts and the scans. The same normalized data feeds every panel, so a quote is one number across the desk.
Bring your own key
Running on your key sidesteps redistribution entirely and keeps the free tier honest: one connection per user, your data, your account. Moving that key out of a config file and into a managed connection card in Settings is part of the market data and connections work now in progress.
One model, many providers
The data layer never assumes a single provider. Each data type is routed to a source, so equities can come from one provider and depth or historical ticks from another, all mapped into one normalized model before any panel or script sees it.
