Automate Clear Street while the integration is in beta

Clear Street can receive US stock and option orders from TradersPost. It is a beta, live-only connection, so the sensible way in is small.

Beta, no paper account, and no linked exit orders

Beta

There may be issues that have not been found yet. Start with small live sizes while you confirm that your alerts do what you expect, and email support if something looks wrong.

Paper trading

Not available

There is no paper trading through this connection, only live.

Bracket, OTO and OCO orders

Not sent

Clear Street does not link orders to each other, so an exit cannot be attached to an entry. Send each exit as its own signal.

Connecting takes one redirect

  1. Connect Broker

    Choose Clear Street

    Pick Connect Live.

  2. You are sent to Clear Street

    Log in and authorize

    You authorize TradersPost at Clear Street.

  3. When you return

    The account is connected

    TradersPost refreshes the access token for you, so there is no periodic reconnect.

Clear Street: 2 things that work differently

  • Orders Exits are separate signals

    Clear Street takes simple orders only, so take profit and stop loss cannot be attached to the entry. Send the entry first, then send a separate signal later to exit for take profit or stop loss.

    Order classes (opens in a new tab)
  • Account No paper trading

    Clear Street has no paper mode on TradersPost. Rehearse a strategy on the TradersPost paper broker first, or start with small live sizes.

Order Types and Time in Force

Stocks take market, limit, stop, stop limit, and trailing stop orders. Options take market and limit orders with a DAY or GTC time in force; Clear Street refuses the other order types and time in force values on option contracts.

Extended hours is available on limit orders. Clear Street does not accept it on market orders or with GTC.

You can change the quantity, limit price, stop price, and trailing amount of an open order. The time in force of an open order cannot be changed; cancel it and send a new one.

Limitations

  • Complex / bracket orders (OCO, OTO, bracket) are not supported.
  • Fractional shares and notional orders are not supported.
  • There is no Clear Street paper mode through TradersPost.

Clear Street automation questions

Can I attach a take profit or stop loss to a Clear Street order?
Not as one linked order. Clear Street has no bracket, OTO, or OCO orders, so TradersPost cannot attach an exit to an entry. Send the entry and each exit as separate signals, and remember an exit you send as its own order stays live until it fills or you cancel it.
