Connect tastytrade to Tradetron

Before you start

• A tastytrade account that is funded, or a paper account where tastytrade offers one.
• Multi-leg options need the approval tier tastytrade granted you (undefined-risk strategies need their highest tier, "The Works").
• One broker account per Tradetron account: you cannot add the same broker twice.

Connect tastytrade

1. Sign in to Tradetron, open My Account → Broker & Exchanges, click Add Broker and choose tastytrade.
2. There are no credential fields for tastytrade. Click Save (or Skip for now). Tradetron opens the secure connection page, run by SnapTrade, the connection provider Tradetron uses for US brokers.
3. On that page, pick tastytrade and sign in with your tastytrade username, password and two-factor code. Tradetron never sees them: tastytrade issues a token to the connection.
4. Approve the permissions (read the account, place orders). You come back to Tradetron and the broker shows as connected.
5. If tastytrade offers more than one account under your login, pick the one strategies should trade (verify the account picker with a live account).

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 tastytrade 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 tastytrade too.

Good to know

• tastytrade is options-first: spreads, condors and strangles map to Tradetron legs one to one.
• Undefined-risk legs (naked short options) need "The Works" approval on the tastytrade side.
• Per-contract commissions apply on tastytrade; Tradetron adds no per-trade fee.
• Run the strategy in Live Offline first; it sees live prices and places no order.
• 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).
