# Discord Commands

Source: https://docs.tradeit.app/discord/commands

The Trade It bot makes available a number of slash commands. To use them, just type `/` in Discord, choose the Trade It app, and select the command you want to run.

One command lives in the `...` menu: [**Copy Trade**](#copy-trade), which copies any channel post into a private trade draft.

## Command Reference [#command-reference]

### Setup Commands [#setup-commands]

| Command | Visibility | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `/connect` | Private | Opens Trade It so you can connect a brokerage account. |
| `/help` | Private | Shows a welcome message, command list, trading behavior, and dashboard tips. |
| `/login` | Private | Sends you to the focused Discord account-linking page. |
| `/logout` | Private | Opens the linked accounts page with a Discord disconnect confirmation. |

### Trading Commands [#trading-commands]

| Command | Visibility | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `/accounts` | Private | Shows your connected brokerage accounts, account value, and buying power. |
| `/alert` | Public | Shares a trade alert that other members can review and execute on their own brokerage accounts. |
| `/holdings` | Private | Shows holdings for a selected brokerage account. |
| `/trade` | Private | Creates a draft trade order from natural language. |
| `/trades` | Private | Shows recent trades, each shareable as a public channel trade alert. |
| **Right Click → Copy Trade** | Private | Copies any post — text, bot alert, or screenshot — into a private trade draft. |

## Copy Trade [#copy-trade]

Copy any trade shared in Discord without retyping a thing. Right-click a message (long-press on mobile), choose **Apps → Trade It → Copy Trade**, and Trade It copies the trade details into a private draft order.

Copy Trade works on the posts trading communities actually share:

- Plain-text callouts, such as `BTO 1 AAPL 430c Dec 19 @ 12.10`
- Alerts posted by other Discord bots
- Screenshots of positions, orders, or broker confirmations
- Forwarded messages

The bot replies with a private summary that opens the trade in-browser, where you can edit the details and execute on any brokerage you have connected.

> **Note**
>
> Copy Trade is private and review-first. Nothing is posted to the channel, and no order is placed until you confirm it in Trade It.

The bot fills reasonable gaps the way a trader would read the message: `Closed SPXW $7435 Put @ $20.10` becomes a sell-to-close order, `covered my TSLA short` becomes a buy-to-close, and quantity defaults to 1 contract when the message does not state a size. If a detail genuinely cannot be inferred, the bot replies telling you exactly which detail is missing.

> **TIP**
>
> Following a leader who posts entries and exits as screenshots or bot alerts? Copy Trade is the fastest way to mirror a call on your own account — see [Using Copy Trade](/discord/trading#using-copy-trade).

## `/alert` [#alert]

Use `/alert` when you want to share a trade idea with a community. It responds with a public message containing the trade details and a **Review & Trade** button. 

Other members can use this button to execute the shared trade on their own brokerages.

> **TIP**
>
> Already placed the trade? You can share it without retyping the order — run `/trades` and click its [**Share** button](#sharing-a-trade).

### Parameters [#parameters]

| Option | Required | What to enter |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `details` | Yes | The trade to share, such as ticker, action, size, option legs, order type, take profit/stop loss, and price instructions. |
| `note` | No | Extra context for the alert card, such as thesis, risk note, or timing. |

### Examples [#examples]

```text
/alert details:Buy $100 of AMZN note:Starter position
/alert details:Buy 100 shares of AMZN stop loss 10%, take profit 30%
/alert details:Sell 1 SPY 600/605 call spread Jan 16 2026
/alert details:Buy 1 AAPL call expiring Friday limit 2.10 note:Earnings momentum idea
```

> **Note**
>
> Trade alerts do not place a trade for the person sharing them, and they do not immediately place trades for members who click them. Clicking the alert opens the trade in-browser, where members can review or edit the details, and execute it on any brokerage they have connected to Trade It.

## `/trade` [#trade]

Drafts a trade order. All the details of the drafted trade are returned to review. You may then execute or cancel the draft.

### Parameters [#parameters-1]

| Option | Required | What to enter |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `order` | Yes | The trade to draft in plain English, such as ticker, action, size, option legs, order type, limit or stop price, take profit/stop loss and target account. |

### Examples [#examples-1]

```text
/trade order:Buy $100 of AMZN
/trade order:Sell 10 shares of AAPL limit 220
/trade order:Buy 1 AMZN 300 call expiring Friday
/trade order:Open a bullish MSFT call spread 5% OTM for next month
```

The bot can draft:

- Equity orders
- Crypto orders
- Single-leg option orders
- Multi-leg option strategies
- Relative requests when you provide enough detail, such as call or put, expiration, and target strike range

> **Note**
>
> If the bot needs more information, it will ask you to run `/trade` again with the missing detail included. Discord bot requests are stateless, so include the full order in the next command.

## `/accounts` [#accounts]

Shows your connected brokerage accounts, including:

- Account name
- Account value
- Buying power

Use this when you need the account id for `/holdings`, or when you want to confirm which brokerages are connected.

![/accounts command](https://images.tradeit.app/docs/discord_command_accounts.png)

![/accounts response](https://images.tradeit.app/docs/discord_accounts.png)

## `/holdings` [#holdings]

Shows holdings for one brokerage account. Run `/accounts` first if you need to find the account id.

### Parameters [#parameters-2]

| Option | Required | What to enter |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `account_id` | Yes | The brokerage account id from `/accounts`. |
| `refresh` | No | Set to `true` to request fresh holdings data when eligible. Otherwise cached daily data is returned. |

### Sharing a Trade [#sharing-a-trade]

Use the **Share** button to share one of your recent trades to the channel as a public alert (same as the `/alert` command).

1. Run `/trades`.
2. Click **Share**. A modal opens where you can add an optional note to the shared trade.
3. Submit. The alert card posts publicly to the channel, built from the trade's details — asset, action, size, option legs, order type, prices, and any exit criteria, for others to **Review & Trade** on their own brokerages.

> **Note**
>
> Your `/trades` list is private to you; only the alert you post is visible to other members. See [Trade Alerts](/discord/trading#trade-alerts) for what members can do with an alert.

#### Channel Permissions [#channel-permissions]

Trade It needs to be able to see and post in any channel it shares to. Most channels work with no setup, but if the channel is ***private***, an admin must grant Trade It access to that channel:

1. Open the channel's settings and go to **Permissions**.
2. Add the Trade It app to the permission list.
3. Allow **View Channel** and **Send Messages** for it.

![/trades permissions](https://images.tradeit.app/docs/discord_trades_permissions.png)

## `/connect` [#connect]

Opens Trade It so you can connect a brokerage. After connecting, your brokerage account becomes available for use with the `/trade`, `/accounts`, and `/holdings` commands.

![/connect command](https://images.tradeit.app/docs/discord_command_connect.png)
