KING CRUMBGRABBER demands tribute
Api costs are pretty crazy, its much cheaper to just use the platform that comes with the broker, but most of them have indicators and the ability to make custom indicators and rules. Plus, you aren't out of the woods yet because in addition to the API fees you usually need a real time data feed provider for the instruments you want to trade. This basically narrows your options to a few reputable brokers that have platforms that let you access data for relatively low cost but give some automation options.
The other thing to keep in mind is the pattern day trade rule if you have less then 25k. You can get around this rule by not buying or selling the same day, but it limits severely the number of trades you can do in any given week. As far as using your bot, TD Ameritrade has their own indicator language and you can make the indicator into a bot. IKBR has alerts that you can turn into an automatic buy or sell order without using their API. I would stay away from Robin Hood, they are good marketers but I don't like their platform.
Out of all these options, IKBR and TD Ameritrade both have small accounts you can get that have free commissions if you don't do a lot of transactions, and IKBR waives the data fees as well for smaller accounts right now, probably due to Schwab just buying out TD Ameritrade and trying to stay competitive. If you want to not do stocks or options but only want to do Futures or Forex, NinjaTrader has a pretty robust programming environment based on the C language called NinjaScript, but you will be stuck paying at least 20 bucks a month in data feed costs even if you go with their brokerage, but they do have a fantastic platform that has many automations and options in itself. Forex, not sure which brokers are good, you are really entering the wild west there.
