# Tradeable assets on Mobius

> Mobius supports automated trading of US equities, ETFs, and major cryptocurrency pairs via Alpaca. This page covers what you can and cannot trade.

Mobius executes trades through **Alpaca Markets** for equities and **SnapTrade** (for live trading connected brokerages). This determines which assets are available for strategy backtesting, paper trading, and live trading.

## Reference assets (not tradeable but usable as signals)

Some assets cannot be traded through Mobius but can be used as indicators or cross-asset signals in your strategies. For example:

| Asset           | Use                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `^VIX`          | Volatility index — use as a fear gauge in strategies |
| `^GSPC`         | S\&P 500 index — use for market regime filters       |
| `^TNX`          | 10-Year Treasury yield                               |
| `FRED:FEDFUNDS` | Fed Funds Rate from FRED                             |

Reference these by name in your strategy description and Mobius fetches the data automatically.

```
Buy SPY when VIX drops below 20.
Avoid trades when the 10-Year Treasury yield is above 5%.
