They have been dealing with the institutional side with quant trading going back about 4 years . Colo servers/Bloomburg feeds/FCM360 low latency network - the works. Its not new to them - they never really promote their retail side API. Not sure why, maybe their institutional clients would not like that? Just a theory. EL is real old already - although there are plenty of users that like it. I don't auto trade with it but have built some custom functions that helps my trading - I could not get this anywhere else. It still has a place for swing traders and less active day traders where shaving a few ms is not a big concern- but some liked that their cancelled orders did not rack up a fee like some brokers do.

Actually I never said TradeStaion and EL suck - I was responding to what someone else said by correcting them when they said TS lacked in having an API.
I have always been a fully discretionary trader - I have no hands on experience working with the more modern automated trading systems - maybe some others on here can comment on that.
