# Fennel

> Connect a Fennel account for RSA trading: passwordless email-code sign-in, how to connect it through the app, and how to fix common connection problems.

Fennel is a mobile broker that supports multiple accounts under one login, which makes it a good RSA fan-out target. In an RSA strategy, the same trade routes out to Fennel alongside your other small brokers.

| What it trades | Supported |
| --- | --- |
| RSA (reverse split arbitrage) | Yes |
| Stocks | Manual orders only, from the **Trade** page. An automated Stocks strategy routes to Tradier, IBKR, Robinhood, or STG / DAS instead. |
| Options, spreads, crypto | No |

> **Note**
>
> Fennel is passwordless. There is no password to enter. Each session it emails a verification code to your registered address, and you enter that code to connect.

## Before you start

- A Fennel account, created in the Fennel mobile app.
- Access to the email address on your Fennel account, so you can read the code it sends each session.
- Funds deposited and settled, so trades can go through.
- The TradeLabs Companion installed and running.

## Connect it in the app

1. Open the **Brokers** page, find the **Fennel** card, and click **Add account**.
2. Optionally give the account a label, then enter the **Email** on your Fennel account. There is no password field. Click **Save account** to encrypt your details on your device.

*Click a broker card, then Add account, to open the connect form*

3. Click **Sign in** on the account row. Fennel emails a verification code to that address.
4. The row shows an **Enter verification code** prompt. Type the emailed code and click **Submit**.

When sign-in succeeds you see a **Fennel signed in** confirmation and the row switches to a signed-in state.

## Adding more accounts

Fennel supports multiple accounts. Open the **Fennel** card again, click **Add account**, enter the email for the next account, and complete the emailed-code step the same way.

## Fixing common problems

- **No code arrives:** check spam or junk for the email from Fennel, and confirm the address on the account is one you can read.
- **Code rejected:** the code may have gone stale. Click **Sign in** again to request a fresh one, then enter the newest code.
- **Sign-in keeps failing:** confirm the account is in good standing in the Fennel app and that you are using the exact email it is registered under.
- **Account shows Idle at night:** that is normal. A signed-in Fennel account sits Idle between checks and is still ready to trade.

## Using Fennel with RSA

Once Fennel is signed in, add it to an RSA strategy and make sure the strategy is active. See [RSA setup](/docs/rsa-plus/setup/) for the full flow, and [broker limits](/docs/rsa-plus/broker-limits/) for per-broker account caps.
