Connected Platforms / APIs

Connectivity

Keyboard Trader connects to the following Trading Platforms via API:

• TT Platform or X_TRADER® Pro from Trading Technologies, International, Inc.
• CQG
• T4 from CTS
• TWS from Interactive Brokers

Excel Connectivity

Our Excel connectivity can be used for a broad range of purposes and trading applications, including Data Publishing.

Your ability to make the most use of our Excel connectivity may depend on whether your trading platforms and/or market data providers connect with Excel. For example, TT / X_TRADER Pro and CQG each have an excellent RTD (Real Time Data) feed, and additionally, X_Study connects to Excel. If you use T4 or TWS and wish to use Keyboard Trader with Excel connectivity, then depending on your needs, you may want to find an additional data source that provides reliable real time data into Microsoft Excel. If you are trading with a different platform than those listed above, but your trading platform accepts orders from Excel, we may still be able to help you. Please contact us to let us know your goals, and we can make recommendations.¹
