Execution: venue.trade() in chat code, strategy.execute() in strategy agents.

Overview

Public.com connects to Scalar Field as a live brokerage venue. Once linked, Scalar Field reads positions, balances, and order history, and places equity, ETF, and options orders in the account.

Order Semantics

  • Equity symbols are plain tickers (AAPL); options use OPRA/OSI symbols (AAPL260919C00250000). Option positions carry multiplier: 100, so market_value = qty * price * 100.
  • Fractional quantities are supported for equities. Size from a dollar budget with round(budget / price, 2).
  • The slippage_bps parameter does not apply to brokerage venues.

Connecting

Click “Connect” on the portfolio page and authorize with your Public.com account.

Usage

In strategy agents, use strategy.execute(symbol, target_qty) instead — see Strategies.

Data Functions

Equity and options research uses the cross-asset market-data functions; each links to its full reference:

Notes

  • Orders submitted outside market hours are queued for the next market open.
  • Avoid trading directly on Public.com while strategies are active on the account — see Reconciliation.
