Does anyone know how is this implemented? Is there some stock trading API?

He also talks about some regulation at the end. Does the entity needs to be setup legally in a certain way?



Yes...presumably many companies offer it, but it may not get top billing because it isn't exactly a widescale consumer product.

Here's the one I use, which has great rates: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=5041


thanks!


I found a bit of code on github to access the robinhood api. That bit was actually not too difficult to implement.

The regulation bit not special, just a restriction on what trades are allowed.


ha nice! I didnt know robinhood api was public. Any pointers?

Did you set it up as some formal entity or just through your personal account? Any pointers to learn about the restrictions. I'd love to so some interesting apps myself.

Update: I think i found it - https://github.com/sanko/Robinhood . Thanks!
