Alertsify Supported Brokers: Full Trade vs Read-Only (2026)
~4 min readAlertsify Team
TL;DR: Alertsify has two connection tiers. Full trade (ten brokers, including Robinhood) can place your own orders and, if you follow someone, place copies in that account. Read-only pulls verified stats and cannot place an order. Your password is never stored. Your funds never leave the broker. Check the connect screen in the app for the live list.
Full trade (orders can fire)
| Broker | What that enables |
|---|---|
| Robinhood | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Charles Schwab | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| E*TRADE | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Webull (US) | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Webull (Canada) | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Alpaca | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| tastytrade | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Wealthsimple | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| Moomoo | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
| TD Ameritrade | Your trades + copies + verified stats |
Robinhood is live on this list. Full trade, not read-only.
Full trade is still your broker’s rules: options approval, buying power, their risk checks. Alertsify routes the order. The broker accepts or rejects it. Copies are proportional to your size, not the lead’s contract count. On Lite, a follow is approve or deny every time. On Pro, copies can auto-execute. Most people on Lite never follow anyone. They trade themselves, track the tape, and sit on the leaderboard.
Alertsify Lite and Pro are the software. Traders bill separately. Most charge. Some are free. You see that price before you follow someone.
Read-only (stats only, no orders)
Read-only is how broker-verified P&L exists. Alertsify can see fills, positions, and balances. It cannot place a trade. Use it to verify a book, track your own account, or audit someone before you follow them.
| Region | Read-only brokers |
|---|---|
| United States | Chase, Citi, Edward Jones, Empower, eToro, Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, PNC, TIAA, Transamerica, US Bank, Vanguard, Wells Fargo |
| Canada | Interactive Brokers, Questrade, TD Direct Investing |
| Europe | AJ Bell, BUX, DEGIRO, eToro, Interactive Brokers |
| Australia | CommSec |
| India | Upstox, Zerodha |
Several of those US names are bank-brokerage platforms for long-term investing, not active options. Their tier is visibility, not execution. If your brokerage holds stocks and options, it can often be linked read-only even when it is not on the full-trade list.
Which tier do you need?
- You trade your own ideas, want verified stats, want on the leaderboard, or want to monetize: full trade at the broker you already use. Lite is built for this.
- You want to follow someone and auto-execute: full trade, and Pro.
- You want to follow someone and tap every alert: full trade, Lite.
- You only want to look or verify: Free plus optional read-only is enough.
A common setup is both: long-term account stays read-only, a smaller dedicated full-trade account is what you actually trade. That keeps the IRA off the copy tape.
What Alertsify can never do
Every connection starts in the broker portal. You log in at the broker. Alertsify never stores that password. Regardless of tier, Alertsify cannot withdraw funds, cannot transfer assets, and cannot trade past the caps you set. Revoke from either side at any time.
Pick the account on purpose. Size it to what you can lose.

How copy trading works · Copy trading on Robinhood
Broker lists change. Confirm on the connect screen if you are reading this later.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. All trading involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Options trading is not suitable for all investors. Users are solely responsible for their own trading decisions. Alertsify is not an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or fiduciary.
