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.

Keep your eye on the profits, people. HR is watching you.

The management team thinks this is the best way to meet our quarterly target and get our bonuses.

Our consultant suggested it and the management team agrees. This is really the best win-win out of the box thinking we can come up with.

KING CRUMBGRABBER demands tribute

In the realm of science fiction, [sun-energy capturing] Dyson spheres and ringworlds have been staples for decades. But it is well known that the simplest designs are unstable against gravitational forces and would thus be torn apart. Now a scientist from Scotland, UK has shown that certain configurations of these objects near a two-mass system can be stable against such fractures...

[A] rigid ring around a star or planet, as in Larry Niven's "Ringworld" series of novels, is also unstable, as it would drift under any slight gravitational differences and collide with the star. So [engineering science professor Colin] McInnes considered a restricted three-body problem where two equal masses orbit each other circularly with a uniform ring of infinitesimal mass rotating in their orbital plane. The ring could enclose both masses, just one or none... McInnes also investigated a shell-restricted three-body problem with the shell also of infinitesimal mass, again with the shell enclosing two masses, one or none.

For the restricted ring, McInnes found that there are seven equilibrium points in the orbital plane of the dual masses, on which, if the ring's center were placed, it would stay and not experience stresses, akin to the three stable Lagrange points where a small mass can reside permanently for the two-body problem... McInnes restricted this research to a planar ring (in the plane of the circularly orbiting masses) but says it can be shown that a vertical ring, normal to the plane, can also generate equilibria...

These results can aid the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, McInnes said, "If we can understand when such structures can be stable, then this could potentially help direct future SETI surveys." An important technosignature would be one bright star orbiting in tandem with an object showing a strong infrared excess. Shells around a sun-exoplanet pair or an exoplanet-exoplanet pair could also be possible. A nested set of Dyson spheres is also a feasible geometry.

Found in the lush forests of Southeast Asia, these fascinating creatures can glide up to 150 meters between trees thanks to their large flaps of skin. They're primarily nocturnal, feasting on leaves, fruits, and flowers.
