- Paper trading
-
Not available
There is no paper trading through this connection, only live.
- Authorization
-
14 days
Moomoo ends the authorization 14 days after you connect, and TradersPost cannot extend it.
The connection has a 14 day clock
A Moomoo authorization lasts 14 days from the moment you connect. TradersPost keeps the access token fresh inside that window, but when the 14 days are up the connection stops working and you have to connect Moomoo again. That rule is Moomoo's security policy, so TradersPost cannot stretch it.
Example The reminder marker is an example. Your reminder day is up to you, as long as it falls a little before the end of the window.

Moomoo: 3 things that work differently
-
Orders Exits are separate signals
Moomoo 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) -
Orders No trailing stops
Moomoo does not offer trailing stop orders.
-
Account No paper trading
Moomoo has no paper mode on TradersPost. Rehearse a strategy on the TradersPost paper broker first, or start with small live sizes.

Reconnecting every 14 days
A Moomoo authorization lasts 14 days. This is Moomoo's security policy, and TradersPost cannot extend it. When it expires, TradersPost can no longer reach your account and your Moomoo connection shows a Connection Issue. Click Reconnect and sign in to Moomoo again to keep sending orders.
Limitations
- Paper trading is not available.
- Trailing stops are not supported.
- Complex / bracket orders are not supported.
- Fractional shares are not supported.
- Market orders are day orders only; Moomoo rejects a market order sent as

Moomoo automation questions
- Why did my Moomoo connection stop sending orders?
- Moomoo authorizations expire 14 days after you connect, and Moomoo does not allow them to be extended. Open Brokers in TradersPost, reconnect Moomoo, then confirm the subscription still points at that connection.
