1. Description of Service

CoreStep is a trading analytics and journaling platform. CoreStep allows users to connect brokerage and trading accounts, review historical trade and account data, track trading performance, and use analytical and AI features to support their own trading process.

CoreStep is not a broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, investment adviser, or trading platform. CoreStep does not execute trades, hold funds, or provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Nothing within the Service constitutes a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. See our Disclosures page for full risk and hypothetical performance disclosures.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Connecting Broker Accounts

When you connect a third-party brokerage or trading account (including via OAuth or credential-based login), you authorize CoreStep to access and import data from that account as permitted by the access level you grant. CoreStep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any brokerage or trading platform it integrates with, except where a specific partnership is disclosed. You may disconnect any linked account at any time from within the Service.

CoreStep uses connected account data solely to display and analyze your trading history within the Service. CoreStep does not place trades, modify orders, or move funds using this access.
