Connecting

A session, not a static key

The connection is authorised by you and held as a session rather than a permanent key. That is stricter, and it means a connection can need re-authorising after a period of inactivity, which the platform surfaces rather than failing quietly on the next order.

Worth knowing

No crypto here

Crypto is not offered on this connection, so a crypto rule is sent to another of your connected accounts that can hold it rather than failing at the last step. Options and stocks both work, and options resolve their legs against the live chain the same way they do elsewhere.
