Connect Robinhood to Tradetron

Before you start

• A Robinhood brokerage account that is funded and open for trading.
• Options legs need options trading enabled on your Robinhood account (Robinhood approves this in its own app).
• One broker account per Tradetron account: you cannot add the same broker twice.

Connect Robinhood

1. Sign in to Tradetron, open My Account → Broker & Exchanges, click Add Broker and choose Robinhood (Finatic).
2. Click Connect. Tradetron opens Finatic's secure connection page for Robinhood.
3. Sign in there with your Robinhood credentials and complete Robinhood's own two-step check if it asks. Tradetron never sees your password or your code.
4. You come back to Tradetron and the broker shows as connected. If the page times out, click Connect again.

Paper trading

Robinhood has no paper account. Run the strategy in Live Offline first: it reads live prices and places no order, so you see what it would have done before any order reaches Robinhood.

After connecting

1. Deploy a strategy in Live Offline first: it reads live prices and places no order.
2. Check the broker log on the deployment after the first signal: it shows what Tradetron sent and what Robinhood answered.
3. Go live when the Live Offline run behaves as you expect. You can exit any deployment with one tap; the connection can be removed from Broker & Exchanges at any time, and revoked at Robinhood too.

Good to know

• Robinhood connects through Finatic, a hosted connection page: you sign in there, never in Tradetron.
• Robinhood's own pattern-day-trading and options-level rules apply to the orders Tradetron places; a rejected order shows the reason in the broker log.
• US sessions are 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET; set the strategy's times in your trading hours.

Order types

Tradetron's Market, Limit, Stop-loss and Stop-loss-market orders map to the broker's market, limit, stop-limit and stop orders. Quantities are whole shares or whole contracts (one contract is 100 shares).
