# Start CCP Session

`POST /ccp/auth/init`

Initiate a brokerage session to CCP. Only one brokerage session type can run at a time. If an existing brokerage session to iServer is running then call the endpoint /logout first. Note at this time only order management is possible from CCP session, market data and scanner endpoints can't be used since they are only available from iServer session. Work is in progress to provide new CCP endpoints for market data and scanners.
