JoeS1 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Is it possible to add the broker Moomoo? It’s the US broker for Futu Holdings. Their trading app is solid — would be great to be able to use them on MT as well. They seem to have a pretty extensive API: https://openapi.futunn.com/futu-api-doc/en/ Thanks.

Jerry Medved Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 hmm, have not heard of them before. how new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS1 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) They’ve been around a few years now. The parent company is FUTU Holdings (Nasdaq: FUTU). Moomoo has 2.1K ratings on the Apple App Store with a 4.7/5 They’re getting pretty big... I’d say about half the size of Webull. What’s great about them is they also offer trading starting at 4am, just like Webull. Most brokers don’t start that early. Reading my response above you’d think I work for them or something lol.

Jerry Medved Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 hmm, very interesting. do you know if they support IRA accounts? their api is fully documented (great) but it does require something to run on your computer (not so great). will look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS1 Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Only margin accounts unfortunately. Are IRA accounts in high demand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 they are for me and for some friends :). trading in a ROTH is completely tax free. wonderful thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS1 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Traded with Moomoo today using their web platform. You know, it’s actually pretty decent. Orders went through almost instantly and I got good price improvement. Of course it would be even better if I could use this broker on MT along with the others I use. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin', for you and your friends... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Lightspeed would not be usable for quotes. Only trading. and they are a bit more expensive if I remember. not same category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Q. Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 No need for quotes when we have IQFeed. It's Lightspeed's incredibly fast fills that are desirable when day trading, and willing to pay more ... $2/trade with the group rate I'm on now. 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
