Advanced Trading APIs

Create the ultimate trading experience for your clients by connecting your financial application to the same API that the award-winning1 TradeStation platform is built on.

Elevate your trading application with TradeStation’s scalable APIs

TradeStation’s APIs are your portal for integrating third-party trading applications, opening access to real-time and historical market data, fast order-execution capabilities, and account and position information. Our powerful trading APIs are premium solutions for lightweight applications, enabling third-party developers to create dynamic web, mobile, or standalone trading programs. TradeStation APIs provide access to TradeStation’s network-based Order Execution (OX) system for routing equities, options, and futures orders. Order Management Systems (OMS), gray box, or other trading applications can send orders to TradeStation’s OX network. Plus, our Customer Experience team is waiting to work closely with you to answer your questions and resolve your issues.
