Copy Trading on Robinhood: Live Options Execution

TL;DR: You can copy options trades into the Robinhood account you already have. Alertsify places the order at Robinhood. Alertsify never holds the cash. Public stats still come from broker fills. Robinhood is one of 10 full-trade brokers — live execution, not a waitlist.

Alertsify is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Robinhood. Robinhood is a trademark of its owner.

Most people who trade options already have Robinhood open on their phone. “Copy trading” used to mean opening a second broker, or sitting in a room and retyping alerts. That gap is closed for Alertsify users: Robinhood is on the full-trade list.

What you actually get

You connect Robinhood through Alertsify’s broker portal (OAuth). You pick traders whose stats are pulled from their own connected brokerage — not from a screenshot. You set a proportional size (their 40-lot print does not become 40 lots in your Robinhood). You set the 14 risk rules.

Most Lite users never follow anyone: they trade their own ideas into Robinhood, track the tape, and compete on the leaderboard. If you do follow on Lite, every alert is approve or deny. Nothing copies until you tap. Pro can auto-execute.

You can pause one trader or everything. Disconnect from either side. Alertsify cannot withdraw. Alertsify never sees your Robinhood password.

Robinhood Social vs own-brokerage copy

Robinhood Social lets you follow verified profiles and watch performance. That is a feed. You still open the chain and place the order yourself.

Alertsify is execution software. When a lead’s broker reports a fill, your rules run, and — if they pass — your Robinhood account can receive the order. Two regulated blotters. No screenshot in the middle.

Ten brokers, including Robinhood

Alertsify executes at ten brokers:

Broker	Role
Robinhood	Full trade — your orders + copies + verified stats
Charles Schwab	Full trade
E*TRADE	Full trade
Webull US	Full trade
Webull Canada	Full trade
Alpaca	Full trade
tastytrade	Full trade
Wealthsimple	Full trade
Moomoo	Full trade
TD Ameritrade	Full trade

Read-only connections still exist at a longer list (Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, and others) for verified stats — not for placing copies.

Use Robinhood if that is where you already trade. Use Schwab or E*TRADE if that is where the cash already sits. Do not open a new broker just because a copy app only speaks one venue.

The in-app connect screen is the live list. Confirm there if you are reading this later.

What Robinhood still decides

Alertsify can route the order. Robinhood still decides whether your account is allowed to place it.

• You need options approval at Robinhood for the strategy being copied (long calls and puts are the usual bar; spreads need the higher tier).
• Buying power is a hard ceiling, even after proportional sizing.
• Robinhood’s own risk checks, day-trade policies, and options exercise rules still apply. Alertsify does not override them.
• Your fill is Robinhood’s fill. A wide bid-ask on a single-name 0DTE will move more than any “sub-second” claim on a marketing site.

If Robinhood rejects the order, the copy is skipped. You see the skip.

Their number is not your Robinhood P&L

The leaderboard is the trader at their size. My P&L replays their closed fills at the size and rules sitting on your Robinhood connection. It can come out negative — what you would have held. Find your fit ranks every trader that way before you copy anyone.

Run those two on Free, on the Robinhood account you actually connected.

The 14 controls (daily profit/loss, freeze, max risk, max open exposure, 0DTE block or custom 0DTE sizing, DTE/OI/vol/spread, correlation, unfilled timer, time-close) plus per-trader stocks/calls/puts disables all apply to Robinhood copies the same as Schwab or Webull.

Two bills, clear pricing

Plan	Price	On Robinhood
Free	$0	Look. No execute.

Pro	$249/mo or $1,997/yr (~$166/mo) · 7-day trial	Auto-execute optional; tap per trader if you want.

Software is one bill. Traders bill separately. Most charge. Some are free. You see that price before you follow.

If you already connected Robinhood as read-only

Reconnect, or check the connect screen for the execution tier. A read-only link can verify stats. It cannot place the copy. Full trade is what makes the order fire. If the app still shows read-only after you expect full trade, disconnect and connect again, then send support@alertsify.com the timestamp.
