LedgepodThe ledger for traders

Frequently asked

The questions that actually get asked.

Can it place a trade?

No. Not a permission it requests, and not code that exists in it. It reads broker records. If you run a trading engine as a pod, that engine trades — exactly as it always did, through its own credentials, with the app only starting it, stopping it and watching.

Do my records get uploaded?

No. The ledger, the statements and the keys stay on your computer. If you turn on reporting, what leaves is money and health figures under a username you pick — never account numbers, names, passwords or file paths — and the app will show you the exact payload before it sends one.

What happens if you disappear?

Your ledger is a database on your disk and your statements are files in your Documents folder. Both outlive us. The app keeps working without a connection; only updates and reporting need one.

Which brokers work today?

Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, Webull, tastytrade, TradeStation, Public and Tradier are guided end to end. Thirty are in the picker; the rest say “coming soon” rather than pretending.

Do I need to run a bot to find it useful?

No. Plenty of it is worth having if you trade by hand — the fee arithmetic, the statements, the by-hour and by-ticker views. Pods are there if you want them.

Two accounts at the same broker?

Supported, including two separate sign-ins with their own keys. You choose which accounts are linked; an unlinked one is left out of every calculation rather than hidden from a total.

What does it cost?

Nothing is being sold yet. It is in private testing, and pricing will be settled before it opens — plainly, and without a subscription that quietly renews.

Windows only?

Today, yes. The Android apps are real. macOS is not promised.

What if I get a new computer?

Pack a passport: one passphrase-encrypted file with your ledger, statements and settings. Your broker keys deliberately do not travel — you redo the guided sign-in, which is a paste and a sign-in.

Is my data used to train anything, or sold?

No. It is not collected in the first place.

How do I know an update is really yours?

Every release carries a publisher signature that the app verifies on your machine before installing. One that fails is refused; one that fails to start rolls itself back.

Can I get in?
