global account with API

[spa2000]

I am looking for a retail broker which will allow me to trade stocks in US, Canada & Europe via API.

I have tried my myTrack and IB.. I am just in middle of law suit with latter..so please don't recommend these .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am just in middle of law suit with latter..

Why ?

Sorry I can't give details.. I said this becuase I didn't want anybody sounding trumpet about IB. It's wasted on me.

Do you know any others out there... I've just got off the phone with MB trading and they don't accept accounts from UK.

Why ?

In my view you are going to really struggle with this as there are very few brokers that provide an API at all.

IB is on of them, and as Trader333 say, there are very few brokers who offer an API. If you also require backfilling and live data feed, they are few.
