Supported platforms and feature availability

Which platforms can I connect to?

We currently support these 13 exchanges and brokers: Alpaca, Architect AX, Binance, Bitget, Bybit, Deribit, DigiFinex, dYdX, Gate.io, Hyperliquid, Kraken, Longbridge and OKX.

After choosing a platform, select your instrument and mode. Spot and perpetual markets on the same platform, for example, need their own instrument, fee and account settings.

How do I start a backtest?

Sign in to AlgoRover and tell your AI the strategy, platform, instrument, bar interval and period you want to test. For example: ‘Backtest this strategy using Binance BTCUSDT 4-hour data and include trading fees.’

You do not need an exchange trading API key to backtest. Check that the data source covers your instrument and period, then set fees, slippage and other costs.

Run a new backtest after changing the platform, instrument or cost settings to see how the new configuration performs.

What do I need for demo or live trading?

Demo: select the platform's test environment and configure its account and API credentials to check orders, positions and monitoring. Some platforms call this environment Test or Testnet.

Live: connect a real trading account, configure the required API permissions, set the instrument, position size and risk parameters, then confirm the start.

Check the deployment page for the modes available to your platform and instrument. Use the credentials for the selected environment. Backtests show historical performance, demo checks the running process, and live trading places real orders.

What should I check before connecting?

Market and strategy: select the platform, instrument, spot or derivatives product and strategy version.

Account and environment: check the main account or sub-account, demo or live environment, account mode, position mode, margin and leverage settings where required.

Credentials and permissions: create API credentials in the account and environment you will use, then configure them locally with the required permissions.

What if a platform is missing or a run fails?

If a platform or instrument is missing, check your installed version and selected mode. For a failed connection, follow the error message to check the account, API permissions or network, then test again.

When you contact us, tell us your AlgoRover version, platform, instrument, mode and error message, and whether you use a main account or sub-account. Before sending screenshots, hide account identifiers and balances, and remove API secrets, passphrases, passwords and verification codes.
