Connect Tradier to Tradetron

Before you start

• A Tradier account that is funded, or a paper account where Tradier offers one.
• Options legs need the options level Tradier approved for your account.
• One broker account per Tradetron account: you cannot add the same broker twice.

Connect Tradier

1. Sign in to Tradetron, open My Account → Broker & Exchanges, click Add Broker and choose Tradier.
2. There are no credential fields for Tradier. 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 Tradier and sign in with your Tradier username, password and two-factor code. Tradetron never sees them: Tradier 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 Tradier offers more than one account under your login, pick the one strategies should trade (verify the account picker with a live account).

Paper trading

For paper trading, add "Tradier - PaperTrading" instead; it connects the same way to your Tradier sandbox 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 Tradier 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 Tradier too.

Good to know

• Tradier offers a flat monthly options plan and a per-contract plan; the commission is Tradier's either way.
• Tradier's paper (sandbox) account is a separate connection: add "Tradier - PaperTrading" for it.
• Cash accounts cannot sell naked options; spreads need a margin account on the Tradier side.
• 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).
