Quote from olympic_trader:



So putting it simply: I (person not a company) would like to connect to some electronic exchange to perform automated trading on my own using computer programs. Which exchanges do you recommend in terms of no bureaucracy and ease of connectivity?

Like somebody already told you: none.

What was your intended goal for asking this question?
-Real time tick data?
-Low commissions?
-Exotic and dark pool info?

All of these can be obtained via brokers and data providers. The quality of each depends on the amount of capital you can invest in them. After a certain point it gets very expensive though.
