# Availability by region

Broker-related features depend on **your country of residence**. This distinction is required by regulations applicable to executing orders on behalf of third parties.

***

## European Union residents

| Feature                            | Availability    |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------- |
| **Reading balances and positions** | ✅ Available     |
| **Portfolio monitoring**           | ✅ Available     |
| **Smart alerts**                   | ✅ Available     |
| **Live order execution**           | ❌ Not available |
| **Demo mode (paper trading)**      | ✅ Available     |

{% hint style="info" %}
As an EU resident, you can **connect your accounts to benefit from real-time reading and alerts**, but Obside cannot place orders on your behalf. You can still **simulate your agents in demo mode** without any restriction.
{% endhint %}

## United States and Canada residents

| Feature                            | Availability              |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| **Reading balances and positions** | ✅ Available               |
| **Portfolio monitoring**           | ✅ Available               |
| **Smart alerts**                   | ✅ Available               |
| **Live order execution**           | ✅ Available via SnapTrade |
| **Demo mode (paper trading)**      | ✅ Available               |

Live order execution is enabled through the **SnapTrade** integration, which covers the following asset classes:

* **Stocks**
* **Cryptos**
* **Options**
* **ETFs**

{% hint style="info" %}
Beyond your region, **live execution also requires a Pro or Max plan**. On other plans, you can still connect your accounts for reading, monitoring and alerts, and run agents in demo mode. See [Pricing](/misc/pricing.md).
{% endhint %}

## Regardless of region

**Demo mode (paper trading)** and **all analysis, learning and chat features** are available everywhere. You can create, backtest and run your agents in simulation without restriction.
