Broker/Account With Low Minimum + API?

[daCoops]

Hi All,

I was wondering f there are any brokers / trading accounts (either CFD or Spread Bets) out there that have a low minimum, but has a full API available so that I can perform automated trading.

I've looked at IB - but unfortunately I don't have 10k to start an account!

I've been looking through a few but can't seem to find many that offer automation / API's.

Anyone on this forum that can help?

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestions. I've taken a quick look, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they seem to be non UK stocks. I'm UK based, so was hoping to find an account that covers the LSE / at least FTSE 100 shares.

Cheers for your reply though.

AH, it was not clear to me that you...
...wanted to trade stocks and more important
...wanted to trade UK stocks.

Mirus is totally futures and forex (the later coming - nearly there).

For UK stocks... you may be out of luck, but good luck

You could look for an IB of IB ( Introducing broker of Interactive Brokers): They require far less initially - but higher comissions.
