-Before installing make sure you have `pipenv`_ and have installed
-``python3.7`` as well as `kivy source build`_ dependencies
-since currently there's reliance on an async development branch.

-`kivy` dependencies
-===================
-On Archlinux you need the following dependencies::
-
-   pacman -S python-docutils gstreamer sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer sdl2_image xclip

-To manually install the async branch of ``kivy`` from github do (though
-this should be done as part of the ``pipenv install`` below)::
-
-    pipenv install -e 'git+git://github.com/matham/kivy.git@async-loop#egg=kivy'

 Broker Support
 **************
-For live data feeds the only fully functional broker at the moment is Questrade_.
-Eventual support is in the works for `IB`, `TD Ameritrade` and `IEX`.
+For live data feeds the set of supported brokers is:
+- Questrade_ which comes with effectively free L1
+- IB_ via ib_insync
+- Webull_ via the reverse engineered public API
+- Kraken_ for crypto over their public websocket API
+
 If you want your broker supported and they have an API let us know.

-To start the real-time index monitor with the `questrade` backend::
-
-    piker -l info monitor indexes
+    piker chart spy.arca
 
 
-If you want to see super granular price changes, increase the
-broker quote query ``rate`` with ``-r``::
+It is also possible to run a specific broker's data feed as a top
+level micro-service daemon::
 
-    piker monitor indexes -r 10
+    pikerd -l info -b ib
 
 
-It is also possible to run the broker data feed micro service as a daemon::

 Then start the client app as normal::
