Market data and integrations

Two ways to get data into AKQX

Use the data AKQX provides. Included at no extra cost. It covers crypto and Indian markets at timeframes from 1 minute to 1 day, and it is what powers charts and backtests out of the box. Provider approvals for some feeds are still pending, so parts of this are marked coming soon inside the product rather than presented as finished.

Bring your own. Connect your own exchange or broker account and AKQX reads live data through it. Importing your own historical files is coming soon. When you bring your own data, your provider's terms govern it and complying with them is your responsibility, not AKQX's.

The research database

Backtests run against about 41.5 million (4.15 crore) historical candles, collected from public exchange and broker feeds covering crypto and Indian markets. The terms attached to it are worth being explicit about:

• It is for use inside AKQX. There is no bulk export, and the data may not be copied or redistributed.
• AKQX does not sell market data. It is not a data vendor and has no plans to become one.
• It is third-party data and may be delayed or inaccurate. AKQX does not originate prices.
• Coverage is uneven by design of the sources. Crypto has tick-level depth; Indian equity order-flow data is partial, which is the direct reason those views are limited and in beta.

How that data turns into a scored result, including what the cost model does and does not capture, is set out on the methodology page.

What each market supports

Crypto. Charts, footprint order flow on ten pairs, backtests, paper trading, and real order execution through your own exchange account using your own API keys. Crypto is the only market where real execution exists.

Indian equities. NIFTY 50, BANKNIFTY and NSE stocks have charts, backtests and paper trading, each with its own paper wallet. Account connection is available through the Brokers page. Order-flow views are limited and in beta.

Which exchanges and brokers can you connect?

The current list is on the Brokers page inside the app, along with what each connection supports. It is kept there rather than here on purpose: integration status changes as work completes, and a marketing page that lists connections is a marketing page that is eventually wrong. The in-app list is the authoritative one.

What is worth knowing before you get there is the shape of it: connections differ in what they can do. Some support live data and real crypto execution; some support data and paper trading only. A broker appearing in the product is not by itself a statement that every feature works through it, and the Brokers page says which does what.

Independence

AKQX has no affiliation, partnership or endorsement from any exchange, broker or data provider. Where a name appears in the product it is there to tell you what you can connect or whose public data is being displayed, nothing more. No placement is paid for, and no connection is recommended over another.

Each broker or exchange you connect remains independently regulated and its own terms apply to your account with it. AKQX is software sitting beside that relationship, not a party to it.

What a connection can and cannot do

When you connect an account, AKQX reads balances and positions so a strategy can size correctly, and places the orders your deployed algos generate. It does not hold funds, and it needs no withdrawal permission — create keys with read and trade permissions only, and leave withdrawals disabled. The security page covers that in detail.

If a feed goes stale, AKQX skips the signal rather than acting on prices it knows are out of date, and sends a Telegram alert. For real crypto trades, positions are reconciled against the broker's own records rather than assumed, so a mismatch surfaces instead of quietly persisting.
