Hi everyone i finished a course for AlgoTrading with Quantopian and now I dont know where can I TRADE finally :D i mean i know how to buil an algoritm and I have a strategie BUT i dont know WHERE can I TRADE NOW :D please help what kind of platform(Broker) can I trade ?
Im new here =) like 2 weks I saw realy big comunity thats cool =)
P.s. sorry for my english :P
I think the main ones are Interactive Brokers and Alpaca. I'm using Alpaca because they offer commission-free trading.
Another avenue would be to develop algorithms specifically for the purpose of licensing them out to Quantopian.
HI thank you for your answer =) and what is minimum deposit for Alpaca ? becouse IB is 5000 $ :D and how i saw thats brocker are just for America ? :D Im living in Europa and I dont have American Social Security Number but in Alpaca you can open an acc just with this number ? :D
and what do you think Quantopian make some more brokers or just this two ?
The brokers are unaffiliated with Quantopian. There are plenty more, but they all charge commissions that are too high for trading, or in the case of Robinhood have banned algorithmic trading on their platform.
IB is international. I know plenty of people in various different countries that use IB. Alpaca is limited to the US and maybe Israel or something like that at the moment. But you can form a US LLC (limited liability company) and register an account using that.
However, I'm going to say that if you're trading less than $5000, the hassle of algorithmic trading isn't worth the time and effort and cost of getting up and running.
