# Supported brokers

Obside integrates with brokers and exchanges through two connection methods. See [Connectors](/platforms/connectors.md) for how each one works.

## Brokers (via SnapTrade — US & Canada)

These brokers connect through the SnapTrade portal and support **live order execution** for US & Canada residents:

* Alpaca
* Chase
* Coinbase
* E\*TRADE
* Empower
* Fidelity
* Interactive Brokers
* Kraken
* Moomoo
* Public
* Questrade
* Robinhood
* Schwab
* tastytrade
* TradeStation

{% hint style="info" %}
The list of brokers is regularly expanded. If you'd like to see a specific platform added, feel free to [contact us](/readme.md#contact-us).
{% endhint %}

## Crypto exchanges (direct API keys)

These crypto exchanges connect with an API key. They are **read-only** today — Obside reads your balances, positions and history, but doesn't place orders through them:

* Binance
* Kraken
* Hyperliquid

## MetaTrader 5

**MetaTrader 5** is supported as a trading platform. Connection availability may depend on your account and region — [contact us](/readme.md#contact-us) if you'd like to use it.

***

## What you can do with a connected platform

Depending on the platform and your region:

* **Reading balances and positions** *(available everywhere)*.
* **Portfolio monitoring and smart alerts** *(available everywhere, on Plus and above)*.
* **Live order execution** *(US/Canada residents, via SnapTrade, on a Pro or Max plan)*.

See the details in [Availability by region](/platforms/availability-by-region.md).

## Connecting a platform

The connection process is described on the [Connectors](/platforms/connectors.md) page.
