Tickwire is operated by Ighodalo Labs Ltd, a private company limited by shares registered in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission (RC 9713283). This policy is part of the terms of service. Breaching it can get keys or accounts suspended. It applies to you, to anyone you give a key to, and to every AI agent or program acting through your keys.
You may not
- Connect accounts you aren’t authorised to operate. That includes copying trades into someone else’s account without their written consent.
- Connect real-money accounts during early access. Demo accounts only until we announce otherwise.
- Use Tickwire to break a broker’s or prop firm’s rules you’ve agreed to, for example rules against shared VPSs, account sharing, or specific copy-trading or automation strategies. It’s your job to know those rules.
- Manipulate markets or abuse brokers: spoofing, quote stuffing, latency arbitrage against a broker’s feed, or order spam meant to degrade a broker’s servers.
- Evade limits: create keys or accounts to get around rate limits, or share keys to exceed plan limits.
- Attack the service: probe, scan or load-test Tickwire or other customers’ accounts, or try to reach terminals except through the API. Security research is welcome under our disclosure rules.
- Use Tickwire from or for sanctioned countries or persons, or to launder money or finance crime.
AI agents
- Your agent, your responsibility. Whatever an agent does through your key is treated as done by you. Supervise it accordingly.
- Don’t let an agent run unbounded. Give it the narrowest key that does the job (read-only, or limited to the accounts it needs), and know how to stop it.
- Don’t try to get around your own guard, or anyone else’s. If you or a customer registered a pre-trade hook, don’t route orders around it.
- Give real reasons. The reason recorded with each trade should describe why it was sent. Don’t put secrets, passwords or personal data about others into reasons, actor names or hook messages.
- Don’t offer an agent as investment advice to others through Tickwire without whatever licence your jurisdiction requires. Tickwire gives no advice and isn’t a party to yours.
Prop firms
Many prop firms allow a VPS only with a dedicated IP, and some ban VPSs or automated trading entirely. Tickwire gives each account its own device identity and, with a dedicated IP, your own IP, but that doesn’t make any use allowed that your firm’s rules forbid. Check before you connect a funded account.
