Connect Fidelity

Connect Fidelity to VEXA through SnapTrade with your own Fidelity login, read-only, and VEXA syncs your stocks, ETFs and options every day. Automatic sync is a Pro feature.

What this does

Connects your Fidelity account to VEXA and keeps it up to date on its own. Fidelity is a US broker with no file import in VEXA, so the connection is the route in.

The connection runs through SnapTrade, VEXA’s connection partner. You sign in with Fidelity inside SnapTrade’s portal, VEXA never sees your password, and the access is read-only: VEXA cannot place, change or cancel orders. Automatic sync is a Pro feature.

Before you start

  • Have your Fidelity login to hand, and the phone or device Fidelity uses for verification. The sign-in happens with Fidelity, not with VEXA.
  • The link SnapTrade opens is valid for five minutes. If you leave it open longer, start again from VEXA.
  • On a free account the Connect with Fidelity button explains that automatic sync needs Pro. Nothing else on the broker page changes.

Steps

Same on every platform

  1. In VEXA, open Profile, then Connected brokers, and choose Fidelity.
  2. Open the Automatic sync tab and choose Connect with Fidelity.
  3. SnapTrade opens Fidelity’s own sign-in page. Enter your Fidelity login and complete any verification Fidelity asks for.
  4. Approve the read-only connection and choose the accounts you want to link.
  5. Return to VEXA. On a phone or tablet, switch back to the app when the portal finishes. If the accounts have not appeared, choose I’ve connected.
  6. The first sync starts on its own. Compare one imported trade with Fidelity before relying on a long history.

What syncs

  • Stocks, ETFs and options. Every fill, with the commissions and fees Fidelity reports.
  • Each linked account is its own account in VEXA, named after Fidelity and the last digits of the account number, so the account filter keeps them apart.
  • Every day. New trades appear the day after they settle at Fidelity. Choose Sync Now for an on-demand refresh.
  • History. The first sync brings in everything Fidelity exposes through the connection. Anything already in your journal is recognised, not duplicated.

Reconnecting and disconnecting

If Fidelity asks you to sign in again, for example after a password change, VEXA marks the account as needing a reconnect. Choose Reconnect Fidelity, sign in once, and the sync resumes. Your trades are not affected.

To stop syncing, choose Disconnect Fidelity on the broker page. The connection is removed at SnapTrade and the trades already imported stay in your journal.

What you should see

One connected account per Fidelity account you approved, each with a last-sync time. The first sync usually finishes within a few minutes, and the trades appear under that account in the account filter.

If it doesn’t work

  • “Automatic sync is a Pro feature.” The account you are signed in with is not on Pro. Upgrade, then choose Connect with Fidelity again.
  • “Automatic sync for this broker isn’t switched on yet.” The connection is not live on VEXA’s side yet. The button stays where it is, so check back shortly.
  • The portal says the link has expired. SnapTrade links last five minutes. Return to VEXA and choose Connect with Fidelity again.
  • No accounts appeared after you signed in. Choose I’ve connected on the broker page. If nothing appears, you approved no accounts in the portal; connect again and tick at least one.
  • Trades from today are missing. That is expected. Fidelity reports fills the day after they settle, and the daily sync picks them up then.
