TL;DR
This native Robinhood guide starts with a saved GOOG 50/200 moving-average rule, historical tests and separate paper observation. The four independent test windows include a 6.01% loss from August 2024 through April 2025; this one-stock example concentrates exposure. Complete the Robinhood pairing flow on your own machine, inspect the imported account, then review Port to Live. Set evaluation timing separately and verify the correct portfolio's pause state.
Understand the worked rules
Enter
GOOG SMA50 > SMA200 and no GOOG holding.
Size
Buy whole shares with 100% of available buying power.
Exit
GOOG SMA50 < SMA200 and a positive GOOG holding; sell the whole position. Equality triggers neither rule.

The same GOOG trend rule ran on four independent historical windows. Each window starts again with $10,000; the rows are separate tests. Read the losing window alongside the stronger ones and follow how long the strategy held GOOG.
Create and test this example in Aurora
Open the filled-in request, review the rules and send it in Aurora when ready. Continue in the same conversation through creation, backtesting and paper observation. Each step returns an artifact you can inspect before continuing.
Observe it in paper trading

After testing your frozen version, ask Aurora to prepare a new paper deployment from the saved draft. Read back the new simulated portfolio identity and open it in Portfolios. Log the expected signal, actual order status, holdings, fees and any rule revision. Keep the historical backtest, paper history and live account history labeled separately.
Connect and select your Robinhood account
Show connect and select your robinhood account
Open Robinhood account connection below. Select Connect Robinhood, then Connect my existing account. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted. In Important Disclosures, select I understand and agree, then Connect Robinhood. Robinhood only accepts this connection from your own machine. The connection page shows a one-time pairing code and a command, npx nexustrade-robinhood-connect --pair <code>. Run that command on a computer where you can sign in to Robinhood; it opens Robinhood's authorization in a browser window, completes it to your machine, and links the account to NexusTrade. Leave the terminal and the connection page open until the page reports the connected account.
Connecting Robinhood imports its agentic trading account and creates the live portfolio. Compare that portfolio's holdings and buying power with the Robinhood app, and complete any account requirement shown under Connection health, such as an incomplete investor profile or unapproved options level, in Robinhood before trading. This adapter trades the connected account without a separate account ID.
This example trades whole stock shares. The current NexusTrade adapter also supports fractional stock shares. Verify the imported account identity before attaching the strategy.

Open the paper portfolio
Use the separate paper portfolio created from your saved draft. Open its Deployment Center and select Port to Live.
Select Robinhood and inspect the changes
Read the incoming rules and existing active strategies. The confirmation shows which existing rules will be disabled. Keep the paper source so you can compare later observations.
Confirm the intended deployment
Select Confirm & Port when the comparison is correct. If active strategies already exist, the button reads Disable existing & Port. This confirmation can activate the live target.
Open the returned live portfolio
Select Open live portfolio. Verify Robinhood, the intended account and the imported rules. Review the live target's evaluation mode after porting. OpenClose checks near the session's open and close; Constant checks repeatedly at the chosen interval. Keep the observation interval and evaluation cadence in your test notes. Port to Live copies strategies; it does not copy the paper portfolio's timing settings.
Follow the first signal and know how to pause
Show follow the first signal and know how to pause
Review the live portfolio's trading policy and daily limit in the app. Only you can enable automated order approval through the account application or portfolio settings. Aurora can help inspect the rules and events; it does not enable that policy.
When the trend changes, compare the recorded 50-day and 200-day averages, the position guard and the Filled order. Check the resulting cash and GOOG holding in both NexusTrade and your broker account.
To pause strategy evaluation, open Deployment Center, switch Automated Trading off and choose Save Changes. Check that the same live portfolio is paused. Inspect open broker orders and current holdings separately. For a recurring Aurora review, also pause its schedule in Agents.

Read historical and paper evidence separately
Follow creation, historical testing and paper observation in the same conversation. Retain the returned saved draft, test and running paper identities.
Each stage has a separate artifact to inspect. A simulation curve is not broker account activity.
Connect and review the broker target
Open this broker's native connection. From the tested paper portfolio's Deployment Center choose Port to Live and review the added/disabled strategies before confirming.
