Hey everyone, I was wondering how would I start programming an interface to trading stocks in Etrade in python. I am attempting to make an automated trading bot, but there is no api publicly available for automated trading with Etrade. Thanks in advance. ^^
For E-trade I could only find this: http://code.google.com/p/pyetrade/ . It uses urllib2 to access the site like a user would. But because of lack of an official API there is no guarantee that anything will keep working.
Interactive Brokers has an extensive API for automatic trading, also from Python. I can confirm that one works.
