Tradier is one of the two brokers supported by Tradematic for automated iron condor trading. Connecting your Tradier account takes only a few minutes via OAuth — no API keys to copy and paste manually.
This guide walks through the exact steps to link your Tradier account and verify the connection.
Prerequisites
Before you start, confirm the following:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Tradier account | Active individual or IRA brokerage account |
| Options approval | Level 3 (spreads approved) |
| Account type | Margin account recommended for spreads |
| Tradematic account | Active subscription at portal.tradematic.app |
If you haven't opened a Tradier account yet, see How to Open a Tradier Brokerage Account for the complete setup process.
Step-by-Step: Connecting Tradier to Tradematic
Step 1: Confirm Your Tradier Account Has Level 3 Options Approved
Log into your Tradier account and verify your options trading level. For iron condors and multi-leg spreads, Level 3 approval is required. If you're not yet approved, submit an options upgrade request inside Tradier's account settings.
Step 2: Log Into Tradematic
Go to portal.tradematic.app and log in with your Tradematic credentials.
Step 3: Go to Broker Settings
From the main dashboard, navigate to Settings → Broker Settings. This is where all broker connections are managed.
Step 4: Select Tradier
In the broker list, click on Tradier. You'll see a button to begin the OAuth authorization flow.
Step 5: Authorize via Tradier OAuth
Clicking Connect redirects you to Tradier's login page. Enter your Tradier credentials and grant Tradematic API access to your account. This lets Tradematic:
- View account balances and positions
- Place option orders (entries)
- Manage open positions (adjustments, closures)
You will be redirected back to Tradematic automatically after granting access.
Step 6: Verify the Connection
Back in Tradematic, your Tradier account balance should now be visible in the Broker Settings panel. A green status indicator confirms the connection is active.

You don't need to manually place or manage any orders once the connection is live and your strategy parameters are configured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to connect Tradier to Tradematic via OAuth? Yes. OAuth authorization does not share your Tradier password with Tradematic. Tradematic receives an access token that can be revoked at any time from within Tradier's account settings under Connected Apps.
Can I revoke access if I want to disconnect? Yes — go to Tradier's account settings, find the connected apps section, and revoke Tradematic's access. You can also disconnect from within Tradematic's Broker Settings.
What if the connection shows an error after authorization? Ensure your Tradier account has an active subscription and that Level 3 options are approved. If the issue persists, try re-authorizing by disconnecting and reconnecting from Broker Settings.
Does Tradematic support multiple Tradier accounts? Currently one broker account is connected per Tradematic account.
How does Tradier compare to Tastytrade for this connection? The connection process is similar for both brokers — both use OAuth. The main practical differences are in commissions and platform analytics. See Tradier vs Tastytrade for Options Automation for a full breakdown.
