    I am looking for a broker which provides API for their web based trading platform so I can execute my buy and sell orders automatically using my code. Is there any broker exist out there to use?

    Thank you. The problem with tradestation is that you have to open an account and fund with real money first then use the API which is nonsense. I'm trying to test something. I'm looking into cqg. Seems solid

    CQG is a lot of work and not cheap. TradeStation's web api is very simple and I don't think you need much to fund it.
    IB's Web API is good but I doubt it allows you to trade, it's data only.
