trade mutual fund

Hey - Is there a way to trade mutual funds ? maybe via fetcher or other way. If not, is it planned as future release ?

Thanks,

Your algo can backtest and live trade US stocks and ETFs; mutual funds are not included in the platform. You can see more about our data in the help doc. Fetcher can only be used to trade securities that are in our database, otherwise if you import something else (ie mutual funds, Asian stocks) the data will be used as a signal to trade the US securities.

I don't think mutual funds are on the horizon, but we are currently working to add Futures to the platform. And then will look at other asset classes.

cheers,
Alisa
