Automated trading on Charles Schwab
How it works
- Click Connect on the Brokerage page — you'll authorize DeployQuant on Schwab's own site with scoped trade & read permissions.
- Build or fork a strategy and backtest it on minute-resolution history.
- Deploy to Schwab with its own cash allocation, isolated in a sleeve.
- Confirm live trading explicitly before the first real order.
- Monitor every decision in the journal; pause anything with one switch.
Schwab's OAuth tokens require periodic re-authorization — DeployQuant emails you a one-link re-auth when needed, and holds orders safely while the connection is down rather than guessing.
Build it from blocks (or type it in English), backtest it on 5.5 years of minute data in seconds, tweak any parameter, then paper trade it on live data. No card, no broker needed to start.
Frequently asked questions
Can you automate trading on Charles Schwab?
Yes — connect Charles Schwab to DeployQuant and strategies you build (from blocks or plain English) trade in your existing Charles Schwab account. The connection is trade & read only, your assets stay at Charles Schwab, and live trading requires an explicit typed confirmation.
Does my money move to DeployQuant?
No. Cash and shares stay in your Charles Schwab account in your name. DeployQuant sends orders and reads fills — it cannot withdraw, and you can disconnect anytime.
Strategies to deploy on Charles Schwab
Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this page is investment advice. Live trading involves risk of loss.
