# Trade execution

> Execute trades through Robinhood directly from your Sourcetable spreadsheet.

Sourcetable integrates with Robinhood to let you execute trades directly from your spreadsheet. Analyze a stock, make a decision, and place the trade — all in one place.

<Warning>
  Trading involves risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research before making investment decisions.

## Supported assets

Ask the AI:

* "Buy \$500 worth of Bitcoin"
* "Place a limit order for 100 shares of MSFT at \$400"
