A desk, not the broker

Blackspire began as a set of notes passed between investors who were tired of reviews that read like brochures. We wanted the mechanics written down plainly — how an order routes, what a screen really shows, and how to reach an account without getting phished along the way. So we published the desk notes as a guide, and kept the jargon out.

Everything here is written for the person doing their own investing, not a call centre. We walk the platform and the sign-in in the order the work happens, and we say, every time, to start at the official site. We are an independent desk; we are not the broker, we give no investment advice, and we hold no real account.
