How to connect to a brokerage account? (Alpaca setup)

To trade with real funds, connect your Alpaca brokerage account: 

  1. Open Monflex, switch the account toggle to Real, and tap Link account.
  1. Review and accept the Digital Investment Advisory Agreement and terms.
  1. When prompted, select Alpaca and tap Allow Monflex access.
  1. If you already have an Alpaca account, sign in to authorize the connection. 
  1. If you do not have an Alpaca account, follow the on-screen steps to complete registration (you will need a photo ID, tax number, and bank account details). Once authorized, your brokerage balance will appear in Monflex, and your bot will be ready for live setups.
