broker for auto

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by tentenequals20, Jan 13, 2007.

  1. who're some of the best brokers for autotrading ? some bokers like Opt xpress require a 3rd part connectivity. was looking for one vendor to backtest, get quotes and execute orders

    Don't know if Interactive brokers would do this? tried searching, but wasn't clear.

    I plan on 5 to 10 trades a day. So commision is a factor, so is execution.

    thanks for any pointers.
     
  2. with IB, if I am interested in autotrading how does a setup look? Let's sy I'd like to start with a simple MA crossover system.

    After I open an account with IB, is it pretty straightforward to setup a system or do I need other 3rd party subscriptions etc.,

    how does a typical autotrading in IB setup look like

    thanks

  4. Even with advanced programming skills, it would take you no less than 6 months to build a robust ATS with an IBs API. Not to say that IB's API is somehow inferior to other alternatives, but it does take time to program around a lot of detail.
     
  5. so how to easily automate my rule (from a vendor perspective)

    which companies can I use along with brokers.

    thanks
