Is my broker safe with NoVo?

NoVo trades in your own broker, on keys that can't move money, and only ever on trades you click. Here's exactly how it works.

NoVo is an execution tool, so it connects to your brokerage — and that raises the only question that really matters before you trust it: is my account safe? Here's exactly how it works, in plain terms.

Your broker, your keys, your money

NoVo trades in your own brokerage account — Tradier, Alpaca or tastytrade — never a pooled or custodial account. Your money never touches NoVo. You connect your broker with an API key that grants trading permission, and you can revoke it in your broker's settings at any time, instantly.

What NoVo can and can't do

NoVo CAN
  • Place the exact option order you click — the direction, ticker and size you chose
  • Manage the exit on a position you opened (stop + take-profit ladder)
  • Read your positions and balances to show them on your dashboard
NoVo CANNOT
  • Enter a trade you didn't click — there is no auto-entry, ever
  • Withdraw, transfer, or move money out of your account
  • Trade after you disconnect the broker or cancel
  • Access anything beyond the trading permissions your broker key grants

You approve every trade

This is the core of it: NoVo never enters a trade on its own. There is no auto-entry and no autonomy toggle — by design. NoVo shows you the dealer map; you decide and click; NoVo places exactly that order and then manages the exit you set. A tool that can only act when you tap it is a fundamentally smaller risk than one that trades on its own.

How your keys are stored

Broker credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to place the orders you initiate and manage their exits. They are never displayed back in full, never shared, and never used for anything beyond your own trading. Trading API keys also cannot move money — brokers scope them to trading, not withdrawals — so even in a worst case, there is no path to your funds.

Cancel or disconnect anytime

Disconnect your broker or cancel your subscription whenever you like. The moment you do, NoVo can no longer place or manage anything in your account. No lock-in, no lingering access.

Questions

Common questions

Can NoVo withdraw money from my account?
No. NoVo connects with a broker API key scoped to trading only — brokers do not allow those keys to withdraw or transfer funds. NoVo can place and manage the trades you initiate; it has no path to move money out of your account.
Does NoVo trade on its own?
No — and this is deliberate. There is no auto-entry and no autonomy toggle. You see the dealer map and click to enter; NoVo places exactly that order and then manages the exit you set. It can only ever act on a trade you started.
Where is my broker key stored?
Encrypted at rest, used only to execute the orders you initiate and manage their exits, and never displayed back in full or shared. You can revoke it in your broker's settings instantly, at which point NoVo loses all access.
What brokers does NoVo support?
NoVo executes through Tradier and works with Alpaca (paper) and tastytrade. You always trade in your own account at your own broker — never a pooled or custodial account.

Trade the map with confidence

Your account, your keys, your call on every trade — NoVo just gives you the dealer map and the one-click speed.
