You mean this firm ? : http://avatarsecurities.com/
What platforms do they support ?
Equities ?
Futures ?
FX ?

johnbennett103 · Jul 6, 2015

Just equities. For platforms, they have Sterling and Lightspeed.

Hmmm....I don't believe either of those platforms are programmable, are they ?
I last used Lightspeed 10 years ago.
If so, please provide some links to their API or language.

johnbennett103 · Jul 7, 2015

I use the Sterling API.

Ugh....I looked at it a few years ago, and I saw many problems with it.
More importantly, it appeared very aged and without good support.
Have things improved in that regard ?

Agree, still clunky, but reliable and a lot of trading venues. This is the only platform that Avatar recommends.
