Connect Overview

Connect is the handoff for an account that already exists at your venue. You tell trdrs the account exists and name the trader who should see it; the trader signs in, finds the registration waiting, and enters their own venue credential. Your firm never sends us a password, because the registration has no field for one. This is one of the two ways a firm gets a trader trading. The other is having trdrs create the account, and Two ways in sets them side by side. A broker registers an account on its own venue, under its own clearing. A prop firm registers the evaluation account it sold, at the venue it issued that account through. The registration cannot tell the two apart: it carries an email, an account number, and the login name you issued — and it grants no access on its own.

​

What you can build

• A pre-filled onboarding, on either side of the business — register the trader’s email and account number, and their first sign-in lands on a connect screen that already names your firm and system. The broker’s client and the prop firm’s evaluation buyer see the same screen.
• A registration pipeline that survives a retry — registering the same (email, accountNumber) again refreshes the 30-day expiry instead of creating a second handoff, so a crashed batch can be re-run.
• A clean audit trail — list your registrations to see which are pending, linked, revoked, or expired, and reconcile that against your own records.
• A revocation path for the pending ones — a refund or a mistake is one call. A linked registration is not revocable, because the trader already linked the account with a credential you never held.
• Zero credential custody — no password field, by design. Your firm delivers the venue credential to the trader through your own onboarding; trdrs sends no customer handoff email.
• Billing you can check yourself — monthly usage and the accounts behind it come from the same query the invoice does.
