Algo Trading

[Viral Solanki]

Hello All. I am new to this forum and I hope I can get some good advice here. I have built an algo program and I would like to implement it.

I want to know how can I put my code into real time use. I have coded and tested it in python and if needed, I can translate it into C, C++, java or almost any other OOP.

What software can I use to put my code into real time use. My code will need a real time stock quotes, with call options bid and offer prices. I tried to use Interactive broker, but you can not back-test without a real account. Is there any other thing out there?

Thank you for your help

Live and historical options price feeds can be retrieved through a data provider subscription. I suggest eSignal or IQFeed for non-professionals. You may be able to get a data feed through your broker API too. Interactive Brokers offers a bundled data subscription for at most $30 a month depending on trade volume, but apparently you're not planning to set up an account.

And, unless you're planning on manual trade entry, you'll need a brokerage account which allows API access through which you can plug in your algo. Alternatively, eSignal, MultiCharts, NinjaTrader etc provide trading platforms which sends orders directly to supported brokers.
