Anyone know if you're limited to desktop apps if you want to execute automated trades (based on scripts) on... - ThinkoOrSwim - Tradestation - IB ? Do any of these platforms let you automate orders from scripts through their web/mobile platforms?
Gotcha. Thanks for the input. So it sounds like what you're saying is that you can do it on IB, but you need to integrate with TradingView first? Also, if this is the case, do you need to pay for a premium TradingView account to integrate into IB and actually execute trades?
With IB you can expose an API by using TWS or the IB Gateway, look into your settings and you will see your API configuration. Have a look a this link for more details: https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/introduction.html
If you're on a PC and would like a simple API that is broker-independent and can work with IB, TDA, Fidelity, and a few other brokers for trading (and with a lot of quote sources for market data) - drop me a PM.
