5/12/2025 New! ProjectX API Access

We’re excited to announce the official launch of the ProjectX API, giving traders and developers the ability to create tools to automate, build, and integrate their trading strategies.

NOTE: There are no pre-built tools or widgets available at this time. To build or connect to 3rd party tools, you will need to have a basic understanding of programming, Websocket and REST APIs and will require you to do your own research.

  • Build Your Edge – Create custom tools to execute trades, manage risk, and refine trading strategies.

  • Code Your Way – Develop in Python, Java, .NET, or your preferred language with full API support.

  • Access Real-Time Market Data – Stream unfiltered market data for faster, more accurate execution.

  • Connect Third-Party Tools – Seamlessly integrate with external platforms and software.

  • Scale Your System – Build, automate, and scale your strategies confidently across environments.
