Connect a trading bot to your broker

AlgolaneBots places orders in your own broker account. It gets permission to trade and read positions, never to move or withdraw money. Every bot runs on paper first.

It runs in the background and can wake your computer at 9:00am New York time on market days.

Every bot also runs on paper, with no broker at all. Broker names and logos belong to their owners. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

Interactive Brokers, Tradier, tastytrade or TradeStation, in short

  1. Download the AlgolaneBots Connector app for Windows and pick your broker.
  2. Sign in from the app and choose paper or real money, a US strategy and a spending limit.

Live Alpaca trading is for US residents. Tradier, tastytrade and TradeStation decide who may open an account with them. The MetaTrader 5 route isn't offered in India, the US or sanctioned countries. Paper trading works for every strategy everywhere.
