Broker-Native Automation
Bureau of Austin bridges the gap between your trading logic and your broker's API — with verified connectivity, real-time monitoring, and zero manual intervention.
Most trading bots treat broker connectivity as an afterthought. We made it the foundation.
Bureau of Austin was built by systematic traders who lost orders — and sleep — to unreliable broker connections. Our platform integrates natively with leading EU-regulated brokers via FIX protocol and REST APIs, maps your strategy parameters directly to order types the broker recognises, and confirms execution status on every single trade. The indigo-tech interface surfaces connection health, order latency, and fill rates in real time, so you know whether the broker is performing as expected before a problem compounds into a loss. We do not promise returns. We deliver a tool that runs your strategy the way you designed it.
Each capability is designed to close a specific gap between strategy intent and broker execution.
Native connectors for Interactive Brokers, Saxo Bank, and XTB let your strategy communicate in the broker's own protocol. No middleware layer means lower latency and fewer points of failure. Order routing, position sizing, and account state all synchronise automatically on session open.
Define entry and exit rules using our visual rule builder or Python SDK. The engine translates each condition into broker-native order instructions, handles partial fills gracefully, and retries rejected orders within configurable thresholds — so your logic survives real market conditions.
Set position-level stop-loss, daily drawdown ceilings, and instrument-level exposure limits. When a threshold is breached, the engine halts new orders immediately and sends an alert via email or Webhook. Risk parameters persist across restarts and cannot be overridden during live trading.
The indigo-tech dashboard displays broker connection status, open positions, fill latency histograms, and P&L by strategy — refreshed every 500 ms. Export any view to CSV for your own analysis, or connect our REST reporting API to your existing BI tooling.
“I moved from a generic bot to Bureau of Austin in March 2023 specifically for the Interactive Brokers connector. The order fill confirmations now arrive in under 80 milliseconds, and the daily drawdown alert fired correctly the one time I needed it. The platform does exactly what the documentation says — nothing more, nothing is hidden.”

Three tiers designed for individual traders, professional desks, and institutional setups — with transparent monthly rates in RON.
Straightforward answers — no sales language.
The current integration catalogue covers Interactive Brokers (FIX and TWS API), Saxo Bank (OpenAPI), and XTB (xStation API). Alpaca and Oanda connections are in beta. If your broker is not on this list, contact us with the broker's API documentation and we will assess feasibility within five business days.
No. Bureau of Austin is a strategy automation and monitoring tool. It executes the rules you define and reports on outcomes. Market results depend entirely on your strategy logic and prevailing conditions — factors outside our control. The platform's value is in execution reliability, not in generating alpha.
Each strategy instance runs a local watchdog process. If the connection to the broker drops for more than 30 seconds, the watchdog sends a cancel-all instruction via a secondary API endpoint. If the secondary channel also fails, an immediate email and Webhook alert is dispatched. Open positions are never managed silently through an outage.
Both options are available from the Standard plan upward. Cloud hosting runs on EU-region infrastructure (Frankfurt data centre) with 99.7% uptime SLA. Self-hosted deployment requires a Linux VPS with at least 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM; a Docker image and setup guide are provided. The Starter plan is cloud-only.
