Scale your trading infrastructure as you grow. Secure and managed from day one.
One dashboard, one API and risk limits for your entire trading fleet. Fully on-premises, so your broker passwords never leave your servers.
Architecture
Follow an order through PerkBridge.
Access, management and execution are separate layers, all deployed on your own infrastructure. Every order is authenticated, routed and risk-checked locally before it reaches the broker, and execution servers run independently of the control plane.
The product
The dashboard you will actually use.
Screens from the current early-access build, shown with sample data. Servers, accounts, risk limits and health on one page, with no remote desktop.




Why PerkBridge
Today you pick two of three: control, convenience, custody. Get all three.
Cloud APIs are convenient but hold your passwords. A rented VPS keeps them, but you manage every terminal by remote desktop. PerkBridge gives you the cloud experience on servers you own.
Fully on-premises
The whole platform runs inside your perimeter.
Not just the terminals. The control plane, its database, single sign-on, the agents and every trading environment install on hardware you choose: your data centre, your private cloud or any Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server. Nothing runs in our cloud, and trading never depends on us being online.
Connectors
MT5 today. cTrader coming soon.
A connector turns a trading platform into the same API, dashboard and risk rules. MetaTrader 5 is the only connector today. cTrader is coming soon. Other platforms and crypto exchanges are a direction we are exploring, with no dates.
Universal API
Write your strategy once, against one API.
A single REST API, specified in OpenAPI 3, for quotes, bars, symbols, positions, orders and history. Today it trades MT5 demo accounts with market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders, time in force (GTC, day, GTD), modify and cancel for pending orders, and full closes. Coming next: DirectConnect, an opt-in low-latency order path over a TLS WebSocket, designed and not built yet.
- Idempotent orders: a retried request never fills twice
- Scoped tokens per account and per strategy route, expiring after 90 days by default
- A full timeline for every order, from request to broker reply
- Halt one account or the whole fleet with one call, or with the emergency stop in the dashboard
POST /v1/trading/accounts/{account}/orders Authorization: Bearer $TRADING_TOKEN Idempotency-Key: ea42-0007 { "client_order_id": "ea42-0007", "symbol": "EURUSD", "side": "buy", "volume": "0.10" }
Infrastructure
Your servers become a managed trading fleet.
Bring any Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPS or dedicated server. PerkBridge installs everything it needs and keeps every account running, even when the dashboard is offline.
Security
Your keys stay yours. By design, not by policy.
Cloud trading APIs keep your broker passwords on their servers. With PerkBridge the control plane and the terminals both run on your infrastructure, so credentials never reach us at all. Read the security overview →
Notifications
Alerts in the dashboard and in your channels.
Every alert is in the dashboard and the API, with acknowledgement and history. Alerts can also go to Telegram, Slack, email and signed webhooks, sent by a separate notifier with retries and a delivery log.
- Rules choose which alert types go to which channels
- A minimum severity per rule, so a warning never wakes you at night
Risk management
Every order passes your rules first.
The risk engine runs inside each trading environment, next to the terminal. Limits hold even if the dashboard is unreachable, and a rule that cannot be evaluated refuses new exposure instead of letting it through. Closing a position always stays possible.
For prop-firm traders
Starting points for challenge rules.
Set each account’s limits a step inside your firm’s rules, so a bad day stops on your server before it breaks the challenge. Example values for a 100,000 USD account; check your firm’s own terms.
Who it is for
Built for people who run more than one account.

FAQ
Common questions
Is PerkBridge a cloud trading service?−
No. The whole platform runs on your premises: the control plane, its database and sign-in, the agents and every trading terminal. Nothing runs in our cloud, and nothing from us is needed to keep trading.
How is this different from a cloud MetaTrader API?+
A cloud API runs the terminals in the vendor’s data centre and keeps your broker password there. PerkBridge gives you the same kind of API, but the terminals, the control plane and the credentials stay on servers you own.
Do I need one VPS per account?+
No. Each account runs in its own isolated environment, so one server can hold several accounts. You add capacity by adding servers from the dashboard.
Which platforms and brokers are supported?+
MetaTrader 5 with any broker, on demo accounts. You install MT5 from MetaQuotes or your broker; PerkBridge does not bundle it. cTrader is coming soon on the same API. Other platforms are a direction only, with no dates.
Does removing an environment close my positions?+
No. Removing an environment or a server never closes broker positions. Close positions first; the dashboard warns you before any removal.
Can I use a live account?+
Not yet. During early access PerkBridge works with broker demo accounts only, and other accounts are refused. Real-money accounts are planned.
