# Automatic Trading {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that this whole guide might miss information or is outdated. Please contact Luxy Instant Support here: [**👉** ](https://www.luxsignals.com/luxy)[**https://www.luxsignals.com/luxy**](https://www.luxsignals.com/luxy) **- Luxy knows everything about LuxSignals and can help you better than this guide.** {% endhint %} Before we start automating your Trading with LuxSignals, let's first clarify how it will work and which Connector you will need: ## How does it work? The Basic Concept is always: 1. LuxSignals gives a signal, which triggers an alert on TradingView. This Alert will then send the details of the signal to your **Connector**. 2. Your Connector can either be: 1. [**The Free LuxSignals Connector**](/luxsignals/focus/automatic-trading/free-luxsignals-connector.md) 2. [**Any Paid 3rd Party Connector**](/luxsignals/focus/automatic-trading/paid-3rd-party-connector.md) This Connector will then redirect the signal details to your broker. 3. Your Broker will then automatically open or close the trade based on the signal. ## Which Connector should I use? For everyone, we recommend using the **LuxSignals Connector** as it's already **built into LuxSignals itself, is completely Free** and the setup is **super easy.** If you really want to use another Connector, are experienced with modern technology, are okay with doing extra research, want to spend more time and extra money, then you can go for any other 3rd party Connector. If you're still uncertain, here is a quick overview of the supported Brokers for each Connector: ### Free LuxSignals Connector Supported Brokers | Supported Brokers of LuxSignals Connector | Broker Markets | | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Capital.com | Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Forex, Commodities | | Oanda | Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Forex, Commodities | | Alpaca | Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Options | | Kraken | Crypto | | Coinbase | Crypto | | MEXC | Crypto | ### Paid 3rd party Connectors Supported Brokers and Platforms This only includes some of our trusted supported paid 3rd party Connectors, but there are many more.
