Connecting Robinhood takes about 90 seconds. You click Connect on Robinhood's card in QuantWheel, log in on Robinhood's own website, and approve read-only access. QuantWheel starts syncing your positions, transactions, and cost basis automatically.
Before you start
Required:
- QuantWheel PRO, QuantWheel GEX, or an active $1 trial.
- A Robinhood account with online access credentials.
- A web browser (the connection flow doesn't work in the QuantWheel mobile app yet).
Time to complete: 90 seconds
Steps
- In QuantWheel, go to Settings → Broker Integration (or click Manage Brokers in the top bar).
Find the Robinhood card in the list of supported brokers and click Connect.
An authentication modal appears showing the Robinhood logo and the next three steps: directed to Robinhood, log in, and confirm data sharing. Click Continue.
- You're redirected to Robinhood's own login page. Enter your Robinhood username and password. If you use two-factor authentication on your Robinhood account, complete it here.
Robinhood displays a consent screen listing the read-only access QuantWheel is requesting — positions, transactions, and balances. Approve the request.
You're returned to the QuantWheel Broker Integration page.
Robinhood now shows as Connected with Account is syncing status. Sync may take up to 15 minutes.
In some cases with brokers, there is a possible 24 hour delay on either a first time sync or with any other future position updates - please keep that in mind.
Open Open Positions and the Journal to confirm your positions and trades are appearing.
Common issues
Nothing appears in Open Positions after I connect.
Initial sync takes a few minutes for most brokers. If more time passes and positions still don't appear, see Broker sync failed.
I got an error on Robinhood's login page.
The login step runs on Robinhood's own website, not QuantWheel. If Robinhood returns an error (wrong password, account locked, 2FA failure), resolve it there first. Once you can log in to Robinhood directly, retry the QuantWheel connection.
Can I connect multiple Robinhood accounts?
Yes. After the first account connects, click Connect on Robinhood's card again to add another. Each account is tracked separately; Open Positions and the Journal show the combined view.
Is QuantWheel able to place trades on my Robinhood account?
No. Connecting Robinhood grants read-only access to positions, transactions, and balances. QuantWheel cannot place trades.
How do I disconnect Robinhood?
Go to Settings → Broker Integration. On the Robinhood card, click the disconnect option. Disconnecting stops sync immediately; historical imported data stays in the journal unless you delete it separately.
Do I have to re-authenticate after some period?
The OAuth token Robinhood issued stays valid until you revoke it from Robinhood's side or disconnect from QuantWheel's side. If Robinhood force-expires the token (this can happen after a password change or security event), you'll see a re-connection prompt in QuantWheel.
