Has anyone here used any trading APIs? If so, what and how nice are the APIs, trading costs, etc.
I keep reading about people making programs to trade for them and making a ton of money, figure I'll give it a shot. I've got the time and money to do it, so why not.
From what I've read so far, I'm hearing that the following are good choices:
www.interactivebrokers.com
www.tradeking.com
Online Trading - Stock Broker, Buy Stocks Online, Stock Market, Options Trading
Interactive Brokers seems to offer a handful of different language bindings and only has a $1 trade fee.
It really looks like there's a ton of different options, I guess I'd prefer whatever has the lowest fees since I won't dump much money into it until I get some results.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
