Paper-test the algo until its signals, entries and exits behave as you intended.
Plan: live trading needs an active plan (see Billing).
Broker connected and verified (see the Broker Connection Guide), with the segments the algo trades enabled and enough funds/margin.
Trading IP registered with the broker where required, and the connection test passed.
Check the algo's settings: money per trade, concurrent positions, daily limits, stop-loss and target.
Switch the algo to Live on My Algos. CandleAlgo re-runs the readiness checks, shows the trading plan and asks you to tick one agreement - "I have reviewed these rules and understand the risks of live trading." The agreement is recorded against that exact version of the rules; if the rules, the money and risk settings or the broker account change, you are asked again. Nothing goes live silently.
Monitor: the algo card shows LIVE only while it is genuinely running live, with its last check and next step. Blocked states show the exact reason.
Verify with your broker. Orders, fills and positions in your broker platform are the official record.
