API Solutions for Developers

Use Application Program Interface (API) to implement your own trading strategy with state-of-the-art technology.

ntelligent Broker's high-speed order routing functionality and broad market depth facilitate the automated rule-based trading system that can be created using our proprietary APIs. All of the products supported by Laser may be traded using these APIs. Our APIs are the leading systems for professional traders seeking highly efficient algorithmic trading solution, with key features that are valuable to the design and realization of a programmed trading strategy:

  • Support is available for an array of programming languages including Java, Visual Basic for ActiveX, C++, and DDE for Excel. While other brokers provide limited and simplistic systems, we try to provide the most dependable and vigorous system we can for you.

  • For less experienced programmers, examples and instructions help you as you become more proficient. You may start with Excel, and advance to a more sophisticated language as you develop your skills.

  • You may link your system to the Laser demo for testing.
