You can easily connect and manage your trading accounts inside the platform.

Go to to connect your brokerage account and manage all account types, including any paper trading accounts.

To connect a brokerage account, select the "Authorize" button. This sends you to your broker's secure log-in page. Input your account information and select "Log in."

You will immediately be re-directed to the trading accounts page. All your connected and compatible accounts available for autotrading are displayed with their options approval levels.

You can always delete and remove connected accounts from the platform. You can also rename an account, which will only be visible within the Option Alpha platform.

Learn more about connecting to our integrated brokers:

You can connect your Option Alpha account to multiple brokerages, and each broker can have multiple connected accounts. However, you can only use one log-in per broker.

Once your brokerage account(s) are connected to the autotrading platform, you are ready to begin trading.
