Can an AI agent trade my E*TRADE account?

Yes, over Nyria's MCP server. An agent such as Claude or Cursor sends alerts to a Nyria strategy. A bot on your E*TRADE account places each one as a real order.

Do I need to sign in to E*TRADE every day?

Yes. E*TRADE ends access at the end of each day, US Eastern. Until you sign in again, the agent's alerts place no E*TRADE order.

How do I cut the agent off?

Select Rotate token on the strategy's Integration tab and confirm. The old URL stops working at once. Then paste the new URL into any client you still use.

Does Nyria hold my E*TRADE password?

No. You sign in on E*TRADE's own page. Nyria stores the consumer secret and session tokens encrypted at rest.

Can I test before trading real money at E*TRADE?

Nyria connects live E*TRADE accounts only, so run the strategy on Nyria Paper first. When the log reads the way you expect, deploy a second bot on the E*TRADE account.

Setup steps

Add a Nyria strategy's MCP server URL to Claude or Cursor. Then connect your E*TRADE account in Nyria with your own consumer key. Each agent alert becomes an order in your own E*TRADE account. Nyria connects live E*TRADE accounts only, so test it free on Nyria Paper first.

1Connect E*TRADE. Request your own production key on E*TRADE's API key request page. In Nyria open the E*TRADE card on Integrations and paste the consumer key and consumer secret. Nyria opens E*TRADE's sign-in in a new tab. Log in, accept access and paste the verification code. Sign in again each day, because E*TRADE ends access at the end of each day, US Eastern.
2Create an AI Agent strategy. In Nyria, select Create strategy and pick AI Agent (MCP) as the alert source. Choose stocks or options as the asset type, then select Create draft. On the Integration tab's Alert format card, select Check format. Once every example passes, the strategy turns Active and can take a bot.
3Connect your AI agent. Select Show URL and copy the MCP server URL. In Claude, add it as a custom connector and choose No sign in. Cursor reads it from mcp.json. ChatGPT connects it on Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. On Business, an admin or owner adds it. Keep it private, because the token inside is the key.
4Preview, then test on paper. Ask the agent to preview an alert, such as OPEN AAPL LONG. A preview shows how Nyria reads it and places nothing. Send real alerts to a Nyria Paper bot before a live one. The Logs tab shows every alert the agent sends.
5Deploy a bot. On the strategy, select Deploy bot. Pick the E*TRADE account on the Account step and set a Budget per entry. Live bots need a Nyria Pro plan or a Premium strategy you have bought. The next alert becomes an order.

What an AI agent alert must say

Nyria needs the ticker, the side, and whether it opens or closes a position. It reads plain text or JSON in your own wording. There is no template to follow. For options, Provided in alert reads the strike, expiry and call or put. From my rules picks the contract.

Your agent sends each alert as one message, in plain text or JSON. A clear format, such as OPEN SPY LONG, is read directly. Other wording goes to an AI model, so have the agent preview it first.

An alert cannot set the size: each bot's budget per entry does. Exits come from your exit alerts.

A stock entry

OPEN NVDA LONG

Buy NVDA. The alert carries no size. Each bot sizes it from its own settings.

An exit

CLOSE NVDA LONG

Close the NVDA position, matched against what the bot is holding.

What E*TRADE does with it

E*TRADE connects with your own consumer key and E*TRADE's sign-in, so the password never reaches Nyria. Nyria stores the consumer secret and session tokens encrypted at rest. Access ends at midnight US Eastern each day, and an alert that arrives before you sign in has no live session to trade on.

Options go to E*TRADE as single legs or two-leg spreads in one order. Three- and four-leg shapes are not placed. E*TRADE needs options approval at the level the trade requires.

A crypto alert places no order on this connection. Use Alpaca or Nyria Paper for crypto.

Each alert becomes a market or a limit order, as the strategy sets it. Nyria previews each order with E*TRADE and then places it. Nothing waits at E*TRADE between alerts. The exit comes from your alert.
