seems like a duplication of effort with WealthLab

Agreed. The only reason to use the WL Medved broker extension is to trade with other brokers (such as Fidelity and TastyTrade) that WealthLab doesn't already have a broker extension for. These are the brokers Medved supports. https://www.medvedtrader.com/www/frontend/datasource

I used it for awhile to connect to Fidelity, but Fidelity wrote emails to all of their customers that they detected doing do, directing them to stop. A shame really, it worked well while it lasted!

Fidelity has a new trader application, called Fidelity Trader+, which allows you to import *.csv files into a watchlist. From that watchlist, one can then place trades.

You can create your *.csv watchlist from the WL Quotes window. Copy the Quotes window into the Clipboard and use an awk script to convert it into the desired *.csv file for importing. We should start a new topic if you want to know more. I suppose we can make the new topic a feature request if you don't want to use awk for processing the regexp for formatting the *.csv file.

Can you share a link for reference?

Right. You should start by installing Fidelity Trader+. https://www.fidelity.com/trading/trading-platforms

Understand this is a new product, so there are some problems. For example, there's a race condition where the *.csv import on the Trader+ client doesn't wait long enough for the server before trying to populate the WPF import window, so it hangs. But if you close the watchlist window, then reopen it, it will be fine.

The regexp I'm using to create the *.csv file from the WL Quotes window is:

CODE:
^([A-Z./]{1,6}).*Buy\t(\d+).*Stop\t(\S+).*   -->  $1,$2,$3

to clarify do you need a medved subscription to use the medved extension or does the extension add the additional brokers like Tastytrade?

thanks,

You'll need a Medved subscription to use the WL Medved extension. I "think" it's around $30/month.

Perhaps this is obvious, but you do not need a broker extension to use WealthLab. The broker extension is simply a convenience. You can wait for a given stock position to signal on the WL Quotes window, then place your trade with the broker's trading application, which is how most of us do it with Fidelity since there isn't any dedicated Fidelity broker extension.
