Futures Trading API

Lightning-fast REST API with a live event stream, built specifically for futures traders. 5-day free trial, then $29/mo.

Generic trading APIs are built for stocks and crypto. Signal Trade App is a futures trading API built from the ground up for CME/GLOBEX symbols, margin rules, and prop firm workflows.

Place market, limit, and bracket orders on NQ, ES, YM, CL, and GC, and stream your account events live. Place an order on a copy group leader and it is copied to every follower instantly. All with a single API key and no broker-specific integration work.
