Auto-send | Robinhood

Auto-send

Auto-send is a feature of mobile advanced charts and the futures Ladder that lets you place market, limit, or stop orders more quickly from a security’s advanced chart. When Auto-send is enabled, you'll skip the order confirmations to place trades faster of whole-share equities in your individual, joint, or retirement accounts.

Note

When trading with Auto-send, you won't see trading fees, info labels on symbols (like elevated volatility and leveraged), or disclosures for stop orders or queued orders placed outside of market hours.

Keep in mind

Auto-send isn’t available on Legend or web classic yet or for trading crypto or index options. And you can’t trade fractional shares or dollar-based share orders.

Set Auto-send on or off

By skipping order confirmation screens, trading with Auto-send may increase your risk of placing accidental trades, so make sure it’s the right fit for your trading style before turning it on.

  1. Confirm you are using the latest version of the app: Download for Android or Download for iOS
  2. In-app, go to a security’s chart, and then select Advanced to view the security’s advanced chart
  3. Select Chart Settings (3 dots icon)
  4. In TradingAuto-send, set it On or Off
  5. Select Continue, and then review and select Acknowledge to acknowledge the on-screen disclosures
Keep in mind

Enabling Auto-send on mobile charts doesn’t enable it for orders placed using the order form on web classic or Legend.

Place an order with Auto-send on

With Auto-send on, you can skip order confirmations when placing an order within a security’s advanced chart:

  • Select Buy MKT or Sell MKT to place a market order
  • For limit and stop orders, a long press anywhere in the chart, and then select + (plus sign) next to the price you want to place a limit or stop for
  • To replace orders, drag a pending order on the chart to modify its price (if you can’t view your open order in the chart, check that open orders is set on in advanced chart settings)

Note that with Auto-send, you’ll continue to get the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) before submitting the order. Additionally, you can tap on a pending order on the chart if you want to modify it in the order form without Auto-send.

After an order is filled, you can view the updated position and its P/L within the security’s advanced chart.

Disclosures

Keep in mind, you’ll need to review and acknowledge the disclosures periodically to continue using Auto-send. When trading with Auto-send, you won't see trading fees, info labels on symbols (like elevated volatility and leveraged), or disclosures for stop orders or queued orders placed outside of market hours. Auto-send increases chances of accidental trades.
