Broker for automated trading US stocks

Discussion in 'Retail Brokers' started by SomebodyET, Jul 14, 2024.

  1. I'm looking for a broker with these features:
    • trades US stocks
    • has API for automated trading
    • low number of orders suffices, no HFT needed
    • accepts individual clients from the EU
    Not sure of the API type yet. I can do some coding.

    Yes, I know IB. But I'm interested in alternatives to have a broader base to choose from.

    Yes to #1,2 and 4. I do not know what#3 means. Please email me directly and I can provide a summary of the APIs we offer. Direct email please, not a private message.

     
  5. I won't do High Frequency Trading (HFT). I will only issue a few orders per day.

    Either way, not a problem.

     
  7. All your platform descriptions lack system requirements. Do they need Windows (except for Web/Mobile)?

    Although you issued a press release in Oct 2023 to offer an API, there is no public description for it. Why?

    I’m not ready to post and promote in a public forum the new Lightspeed Connect API yet. If you email me, I can share information. It does not require Windows. Same for anyone else.

    I can share this, but it is very new so not posted on the website yet.
