Question 1

How does broker auto-sync work?

Accepted Answer

SuperTrader uses a secure read-only OAuth connection to your brokerage. Once you authenticate once, SuperTrader receives a token that lets it pull your trade fills as they happen. Every time you close a position, the fill data flows into your journal automatically — no manual export, no file upload, no action required.

Question 2

Is it safe to connect my brokerage account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SuperTrader uses read-only OAuth — the same technology budgeting apps use to connect to bank accounts. Your credentials are never stored by SuperTrader. The token we receive can only read your trade history and account info. We cannot place orders, withdraw funds, move positions, or modify your account in any way. All data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. Infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Question 3

Which brokers does SuperTrader support?

Accepted Answer

SuperTrader supports 1,000+ brokers across all major asset classes. US equities: Robinhood, Webull, Schwab, E*TRADE, Fidelity, IBKR, TastyTrade. Futures: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TopstepTrader, Apex, Rithmic brokers. Forex: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, OANDA, IC Markets, Pepperstone, FXPro. Crypto: Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Bybit, OKX. New brokers are added regularly.

Question 4

How quickly do trades appear after I close them?

Accepted Answer

For most brokers, trades appear within 3–15 seconds of the fill being confirmed. This is real-time sync, not overnight batch processing. Major US equity brokers typically sync within 5 seconds, futures within 10 seconds, and forex/crypto within 15 seconds. You'll see the trade in your journal before you've clicked to your next setup.

Question 5

Does auto-sync work with futures and forex brokers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SuperTrader's auto-sync covers all asset classes. For futures traders: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Apex, TopstepTrader, and Rithmic-compatible platforms. For forex traders: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, OANDA, IC Markets, Pepperstone, and FXPro. Futures and forex fills appear with the same real-time speed as equity fills, and your P&L and pattern detection work identically across all asset classes.

Question 6

What if my broker isn't on the list?

Accepted Answer

Submit a broker request from your SuperTrader settings — most requested brokers are added within 30 days. In the meantime, SuperTrader's universal CSV importer accepts the export format from every major broker. You get the full journal experience with CSV and your CSV history merges automatically once auto-sync is available for your broker.

Question 7

Can I still import CSV if I prefer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CSV import is always available regardless of whether you have auto-sync active. Many traders use CSV to import historical data and auto-sync for ongoing live tracking. SuperTrader deduplicates automatically so you won't get duplicate trades from both sources.

Question 8

Does auto-sync work with paper trading accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for most brokers that offer paper trading through the same platform as live trading. Tradovate, IBKR, and MetaTrader paper accounts all sync through the same API connection. For brokers that keep paper accounts on separate infrastructure, CSV import from the paper account is the fallback.

Question 9

Will SuperTrader auto-sync work if I have multiple brokers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There's no limit to the number of broker connections. You can connect Robinhood for equities, Tradovate for futures, and Coinbase for crypto — all running simultaneously. Every trade from every connected broker flows into the same unified journal. Your analytics and AI insights work across all connected brokers combined.

Question 10

Does the auto-sync stop working if I change my broker password?

Accepted Answer

For brokers using standard OAuth 2.0, changing your password doesn't affect the read-only token — it remains valid until explicitly revoked. For brokers that tie tokens to password state, you'll need to re-authenticate once after changing your password. SuperTrader will notify you with a 'reconnection needed' banner if your sync connection drops. Re-connecting takes about 30 seconds.
