# Enable live trading by connecting your brokerage

> Enable live trading on Mobius by connecting your real brokerage account through SnapTrade and executing AI-driven trade decisions with real funds.

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.

<Warning>
  Live trading executes real orders with real money. Only enable it after thoroughly testing your strategy with paper trading.
</Warning>

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a saved bot">
    Navigate to **My Bots** and open the bot you want to deploy live.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Deploy → Live Trading">
    Select **Live Trading** as the execution venue and choose the connected brokerage account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set execution frequency">
    Choose the signal evaluation interval. Match this to your strategy's bar frequency.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create and Activate">
    Click **Create Deployment**, then **Activate**. Real orders will now be placed in your brokerage account on your behalf.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is my brokerage login stored by Mobius?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I connect multiple broker accounts?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to live trades if I stop a deployment?">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I review a trade before it executes?">
    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.
