What TradersPost is
TradersPost's official documentation describes it as a cloud-based, no-code, event-driven trading automation platform. In practice it takes a trade signal generated elsewhere and turns it into an order in a broker account, a crypto exchange or a prop firm account. It runs in the cloud, so trading keeps running even when your computer is off. No code is required: everything is configured through settings screens. The site lists stocks, options, futures and crypto as supported asset classes. Keep in mind that automated trading does not reduce risk: trading and investing carry a risk of losing money, and past results do not indicate future results.
The three concepts: strategy, signal and subscription
To understand the system you need three concepts. A Strategy holds the webhook URL and the broker connections, and is where you set asset class, trading style, ticker and defaults. A Signal is an event that tells TradersPost to execute a trade: a JSON message arriving at the webhook URL with a ticker, action, quantity and optional instructions. A Subscription connects a strategy to a broker account and controls which orders are sent to it. The subscription copies the strategy's settings and can have its own settings.
How a signal reaches the broker
The route is fixed. Charting tools such as TradingView or TrendSpider, or any other system that can send a webhook, send a JSON message to the strategy's unique URL. According to the docs, the webhook routes to the strategy and from there to one or more subscriptions, where the trade is executed. The ticker and action fields are required in every message. Supported actions are buy, sell, exit, reverse, breakeven, cancel, add and resize. Optional fields such as quantity, orderType, limitPrice, stopLoss and takeProfit can be added. TradersPost processes the message according to the strategy and subscription settings and sends the order to the connected broker or exchange.
Brokers and exchanges you can connect
TradersPost's connections page lists the supported accounts and the asset classes for each. For futures it lists Tradovate, NinjaTrader and ProjectX. For stocks and options it lists TradeStation, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, Webull, E*TRADE, Tradier and Alpaca. tastytrade appears with stocks, futures, options and crypto. For crypto it lists Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Bybit and Crypto.com. There is also a TradersPost Paper account for simulated trading across all asset classes. Asset support differs by broker, so check your broker's row on the connections page. Meeting the broker's own account-opening requirements is a separate matter checked with that broker.
Connecting a broker account
According to the docs, you connect a broker from the dashboard by clicking Connect Broker in the top right. You choose the broker, confirm that you are authorized to trade the account, as the owner or as someone granted trading access, and are redirected to the broker's site to log in and authorize TradersPost. After approving, you return to TradersPost and the account is connected. During setup you choose which account is used for live trading and which for paper trading. The docs state that TradersPost has no access to banking information and cannot move money into or out of the account.
Who it is built for
TradersPost lists several audiences on its site: retail traders, systematic and discretionary traders, prop firm traders, portfolio managers, swing traders and strategy developers. The common thread is someone who already generates signals in an external tool and wants them to reach the account without manual entry. One strategy can run on a paper account and a live account in parallel, which makes it easy to compare before committing real money. TradersPost states in its terms that it is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer and does not give personalized recommendations. The decision on what to trade and at what risk stays with you.
