Automate futures through TradeStation or tastytrade

Quanntick connects to your own TradeStation or tastytrade account by API and places your bot's orders there. Your funds stay at your broker. Quanntick has read and trade permissions only and cannot deposit or withdraw funds.

Steps

  1. 1

    Practice first

    Run your bot on paper before you connect a broker. Automation needs the Performance or Pro plan.

  2. 2

    Connect your broker

    In the dashboard, connect a TradeStation or tastytrade account by secure API.

  3. 3

    Choose the algorithm and your settings

    Pick the Trend Follower or the Day Trader and set your size and limits, up to the maximum contracts you choose.

  4. 4

    Turn on live auto-trading yourself

    Nothing trades until you switch it on. You can disable automated trading from the dashboard at any time.

  5. 5

    Any other broker or prop-firm account

    Quanntick Wire streams the signals to your webhook in real time and you execute anywhere. Wire is a flat-fee signal feed, card required, billed from day 1, with no trial.

Limitations

  • Automated trading works with TradeStation and tastytrade only. More brokers are coming.
  • Quanntick does not state an account minimum. Position size follows your account and your settings, and your broker sets the margin required for each contract.
  • A stop is not a guaranteed maximum loss, and futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
  • Quanntick is a software platform. It is not a registered investment adviser and does not guarantee profits.
