QuestraderWeb with quotestream. Maybe I should try pro? Since at first I'm not going to actually automate trades, but just automate alerts I thought about running the platform through a proxy to create my own quote feed. Wonder if pro has true streaming quotes.

Thanks for the link Rufus. But I'm not sure if I can get a feed from them as an end-user. They list pricing for subscribers which looks reasonable but say I have to go through a distributor, none of which seem to provide a raw feed. On a side note, I get streaming L1 quotes from Questrade...

Does Disnat have an API? Couldn't find mention of one. Too bad, wish I had come across Disnat before opening an account at Questrade.

Suck.. Ok. Pretty much confirms my conclusion that IB was the only one that would cater to this hobby.. As it is a bit of a hobby I was hoping to keep it tax sheltered.. I'd pay a few hundred/month, but any more isn't really worth it.

Not that it matters much, but I've had a few years of extremely high income. There's enough.

Whats brokers in Canada are ideal for automating trading? There is IB? But at some point, I'd want to do this inside of a TFSA or RRSP. For the record, experienced software developer, getting sucked into the trading thing and want to play around and trust my own code.

Like the original poster, I'm from Canada... Is IB the only option it Canada for a broker that provides an API? I don't even need an API, just a protocol spec would suffice.

AOL doesn't consider themselves to be an ISP anymore, but a content provider. Have known some AOLers for years now and the same thing happens whenever I introduce them to someone.. "Who uses AOL anymore..." And they laugh and say that the provider business is not what continues to drive them.
