If you’re starting a strategy on TradersPost and already have open positions with your broker, TradersPost automatically manages those positions as soon as you connect your broker. The system pulls in your existing positions and adjusts accordingly, even if you’re holding several different assets.

How It Works

Once you connect your broker account to TradersPost, the platform automatically detects and tracks your open positions. For example, if you have 52 shares of Microsoft or 110 shares of Oracle, TradersPost recognizes this immediately. If your strategy triggers an exit signal for Microsoft, it will sell all 52 shares, managing the position correctly from the start.

This feature is available across all connected brokers, asset classes, and exchanges, ensuring that your strategy works seamlessly with your existing positions.

TradersPost operates as a non-custodial automated trading platform, enabling users to connect alerts from their preferred trading platforms to their selected brokerage or exchange accounts. It abstains from the transmission, custody, or management of customer funds, covering both traditional and cryptocurrency assets. Typically, registration requirements set by regulatory entities such as the SEC, FINRA, or FinCEN apply to entities that hold or transmit customer funds. To ensure ongoing compliance, TradersPost regularly engages with regulatory authorities to confirm its adherence to all relevant local and federal laws.

TradersPost does not provide alerts, signals, research, analysis, or trading advice of any kind. It is designed to assist traders and investors in making their own trading decisions based on their alerts. The platform does not offer recommendations regarding securities to buy or sell, nor does it provide trading or investing advice. The platform and its features, capabilities, and tools are provided 'as-is' without any warranty.
