Robinhood let's you trade for free, and quantopian.com provides a python based platform for automated trading with support for robinhood.
Have fun,
- olau 9y agoIt does sound fun, but apparently I'm still in the wrong country for Robinhood. And to be honest, in this case I would trade some fun for something with a GUI. :)
- kbutler 9y agoRobinhood's primary interface is a mobile app with a GUI. Not great for research, but functional to buy/sell.
- digikata 9y agoHow are they sustaining that free trading? If it's on VC money, then I worry what exactly happens to shares if the firm shuts down. Who is actually holding the shares becomes a critical question in that circumstance. Edit: I see a $110M Series C in April '17 reported for Robinhood.
- mi100hael 9y agoYou can pay like $10 a month for their "Gold" offering. Gets you margin (which also nets them some money) & after-hours trading.
- paulpauper 9y agoExcept for margin trading, robinhood is a great deal. Many of these regular discount brokers are committing high way robbery in terms of the fees. TC Ameritrade is the worst in this regard. I hope robbinhood puts them out of business or at least takes away a large chunk of their market share.
