Live trading takes your Mobius strategy from simulated paper trades to real orders placed in your brokerage account. The bot sends buy and sell signals to your connected broker using real funds. Mobius integrates with brokerages through SnapTrade, a regulated open-finance platform that handles broker authentication on your behalf.
Live trading executes real orders with real money. Only enable it after thoroughly testing your strategy with paper trading.

Connect your broker

1

Go to broker connection settings

Navigate to Settings → Broker Connection.
2

Click Connect Broker

Click Connect Broker. Mobius opens the SnapTrade broker portal in a new window. SnapTrade handles the entire authentication flow — your brokerage credentials are never sent to or stored by Mobius.
3

Select your brokerage

In the SnapTrade portal, choose your brokerage from the list of supported institutions.
4

Complete authentication

Log in with your brokerage credentials and authorize SnapTrade to access your account. Most brokers require your username, password, and a two-factor code.
5

Return to Mobius

After authorizing, you’re redirected back to Mobius automatically.
6

Confirm account appears

Your connected brokerage accounts now appear in the Accounts list under Settings → Broker Connection. You can connect multiple accounts from the same or different brokerages.

Deploy a live bot

Once your broker is connected, deploy a bot the same way as paper trading — but select Live Trading and choose the connected brokerage account to trade from.
1

Open a saved bot

Navigate to My Bots and open the bot you want to deploy live.
2

Click Deploy → Live Trading

Select Live Trading as the execution venue and choose the connected brokerage account.
3

Set execution frequency

Choose the signal evaluation interval. Match this to your strategy’s bar frequency.
4

Create and Activate

Click Create Deployment, then Activate. Real orders will now be placed in your brokerage account on your behalf.

Disconnect a broker

Navigate to Settings → Broker Connection, find the connection to remove, and click Disconnect. The connection is revoked from both Mobius and SnapTrade. Any deployments linked to that account will no longer be able to place trades.

Frequently asked questions

No. Broker authentication is handled entirely by SnapTrade. Mobius only stores a reference token that identifies your SnapTrade connection — your brokerage credentials are never transmitted to or stored by Mobius.
Yes. You can connect and manage multiple brokerages from the same Mobius account. Each connected account appears in the Accounts list and can be selected independently when deploying bots.
When you stop a deployment, you can choose to close all open positions. If enabled, Mobius instructs your broker to sell all current holdings at market price. If you leave it off, existing positions remain open in your broker account but are no longer managed by the bot — you’ll need to manage them manually.
For signal-based alerts, you may receive an email with an Execute link. The link opens a trade preview page showing the asset, action (buy/sell), quantity, and estimated value. Click Execute to confirm and place the order. The link is time-limited — if it expires, check the Alerts panel in Mobius for the latest signal details.
