Straight answers
The questions people actually ask.
Can you see my broker login?
No. It is encrypted on your machine and never sent anywhere. We run no server in the path between you and your broker, so there is nothing on our side to leak.
Is this allowed where I trade?
Rules differ by firm and they change. BridgePit places orders from your own machine and your own connection, and you stay at the controls. Read your firm's rules - we never claim approval on your behalf.
What if I close the lid?
The Mac sleeps. BridgePit stops placing orders. That is how local works - not a cloud tool that keeps going without you. If you set a stop on that strategy, it is already at the broker and still protects the open position. Keep-awake only stops idle sleep while the lid is open.
What if the internet drops?
Nothing trades. TradingView cannot reach the Mac, and the Mac cannot reach the broker. New alerts do not arrive, new orders do not leave, and flatten cannot fire until the connection is back. If you set a stop on that strategy, it is already at the broker and still protects the open position. The Mac has to stay on the internet the whole session - same rule as the lid.
Which brokers work today?
Rithmic. BridgePit passed Rithmic's vendor conformance in July 2026. More brokers are added only once each one is proven end to end with real orders, not before.
Does it trade on its own?
It acts on the alerts you set up, on the instruments and sizes you set, and it stops the moment you press halt. It is your strategy and your session - the app is the cockpit, not the pilot.
Can I try it without handing over my broker login?
Yes, and you should. Paper mode is free and needs no card and no broker connection. Alerts arrive, orders fill on paper, and you watch a whole session before deciding anything.
How do I cancel?
Send one email and it is cancelled. There is no retention call and nothing to argue with. Your app keeps working on paper afterwards.
Windows?
macOS today, on Apple Silicon. A Windows version is planned, and it is not released yet.
