Trading technologies refer to software used by traders for automating systems and charting tools. By equipping traders with these technologies, their chances of success increase. Trading technologies help traders identify potential trades quickly, and execute them swiftly.
Regulation, thin liquidity pools, and shifting market structures have created more complexity for market participants when conducting trading operations. But cutting-edge technologies are rising up to meet this challenge with solutions offering flexibility, powerful capabilities, and trustworthy data storage.

TT APIs
Traders require access to real-time data to execute their trades successfully. APIs offer traders real-time market quotes, history, or working orders which help keep them ahead of the game. Plus they support multiple computer languages, making them accessible for traders of all skill levels.
TT APIs offer traders a powerful tool for automating trading systems and developing custom apps. Utilizing these APIs, traders can create automated strategies that trade in real time; additionally, they can use them to monitor and manage accounts. However, before beginning the use of any API, it must be appropriately configured and tested and stay informed about changes made by TT.

The service can easily be integrated and offers several methods to access account and sub-account information as well as FYI messages from TWS directly, and even third-party research providers via its interface.
