This is not a broker execution or copy-trading integration — Scienter doesn’t place equities trades through your broker. It’s a read-only data source that lets the Verifiable Alpha Ledger resolve the realized outcome of an equities/options call against your real fills. It’s marked BETA in the codebase: the request-signing implementation follows SnapTrade’s published scheme but hasn’t yet been run against a sandbox user in anger.

Why this exists

Scienter’s on-chain Alpha Ledger needs a real, defensible price to bind an outcome to a call. For a crypto perp, that’s a public exchange price. For an equities or options call (NYSE, NASDAQ, ARCA, AMEX, EQ venues), Scienter has no venue of its own to read a fill from — so it reads yours, via SnapTrade’s connected-brokerage API.

Configuration

Without all four, this source reports itself dormant with the specific missing variable named — it never guesses a fill or fabricates an outcome.

How it resolves an outcome

For a claimed call on an equities/options pair, the binder queries SnapTrade’s /activities endpoint (HMAC-SHA256-signed per SnapTrade’s scheme) for the closing-side fill (a SELL for a claimed long, a BUY for a claimed short) between the claim time and the horizon end, and takes the last matching fill’s price as the exit. If no closing fill exists yet, it returns nothing and the call stays unsettled — tried again next cycle, never marked closed on a guess.

Scope

This only resolves outcomes for calls Scienter has already claimed on brokerage-venue symbols. It does not read your full portfolio, does not place trades, and is not a general “connect your broker” feature for copy-trading crypto signals — those remain Hyperliquid/OKX/Polymarket, unrelated to this integration.
Scienter publishes impersonal market signals of general and regular circulation. Nothing here is investment, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Scienter is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer. Trading digital assets can result in the total loss of your funds — see Disclaimers for the full text.
