# How To Connect Your Broker To The Options Auto Trader

Step-by-step guide for connecting your broker account

In order to start automating your trades with **Options Auto Trader**, you'll need to connect your broker account to our platform. We currently support integrations with **TastyTrade**, **Tradier**, **TradeStation**, and **Charles Schwab**. This article will guide you through the process of connecting your broker and troubleshooting common issues.

## **Step 1: Access the "Connect My Broker" Page**

To begin connecting your broker to the **Options Auto Trader** platform:

1.  Log into your **Options Auto Trader** account.
    
2.  Click on your **profile image/initials** in the top-right corner of the page.
    
3.  From the dropdown menu, select **"Connect Your Broker"**.
    

This will take you to the page where you can initiate the connection between your broker and the auto trader platform.

## **Step 2: Select Your Broker**

Once you’re on the **Connect My Broker** page, you will see a list of supported brokers. These include:

-   **TastyTrade**
    
-   **Tradier**
    
-   **TradeStation**
    
-   **Charles Schwab**
    

To connect your account:

1.  Click the **"Create Connection"** button next to the broker you want to integrate with **Options Auto Trader**.
    
    You will be redirected to the broker’s login page where you can securely log in and authorize the connection.
    
    -   For example, if you are connecting to **TastyTrade**, you will be redirected to TastyTrade’s login page to authorize the connection.
        

## **Step 3: Verify Connection**

After logging in and authorizing the connection with your broker, you should be redirected back to the **Options Auto Trader** platform. A message will confirm that your broker account has been successfully connected.

Once connected, you can start setting up your auto traders and automating your trades.

## **Step 4: Troubleshooting Connection Issues**

If your broker account doesn’t connect, there could be a few common reasons:

1.  **No Active Accounts**: Ensure that you have an active account with the broker you’re trying to connect. If your account is inactive, the connection will not work.
    
2.  **No Margin Account**: Some brokers require that you have a **margin account** to use the auto trader. If your account is a cash-only account, it may not connect.
    
3.  **Incorrect Credentials**: Double-check that you’re using the correct login credentials for your broker account.
