Integrate VectorVest RealTime with brokers and existing trading platform to trigger trades.

I would like to see RT integrated with existing broker or trading platforms to execute trades. I do not think it is valuable for VV to become a trading platform in itself, but integrate to existing platforms.

We have begun work on this but we do not have a release date to share at this point.

We will keep you updated on the progress of this feature as we continue work on it.

I would like for this to work on the regular platform also since I do not do real time and at times I am on the road and away from my computer. For those who are to busy to monitor even at end of day it would be a really important future.

I would like to connect with Vanguard for stock and options trading.

I use Scottrade, so linked to my Scottrade account would be GREAT!

I want it to link VectorVest to CoolTraderPro which would trade the stocks in my TD Ameritrade or other brokerage.

If you're looking for a list of brokers to priortorize, add Fidelity o that list

if you do, consider adding forex and futures

Would love to see this happen. You may want to explore Collective2 as an intermediary. See http://collective2.com/about-autotrade for a list of systems it is already compatible with (e.g. MB Trading, Interactive Brokers, etc.) I think they also have something with TradeStation. They do not have anything with ThinkorSwim (TD Ameritrade) at the moment. But working with them may help this process along.

In Nov 18, 2010 you mentioned you guys start work on this and now 2012 ending. I'm not sure what type of software you are developing that takes around 2 years and still not available...

Any Idea when its avilable

Isn't the integration just sending orders to the broker? I don't think VV is talking about pulling up MTI charts in your brokers software right? I would start small and make sure it's rock solid with the first release.

I would like to see OptionsHouse as an available brokerage house.
Steven Horg commented · January 21, 2012 02:14 · Flag as inappropriate

Interactive Brokers.
Llewellyn Chin commented · January 20, 2012 17:27 · Flag as inappropriate

I agreed it would be good, but make it as available as possible, not just limited to just one or two brokers. I would like to see Schwab or Scottrade as options in the future.

Thanks.

ANY UPDATE ON THIS???? ANY UPDATE AT ALL?

I vote for Think or Swim, (TD Ameritrade Gp) the most accomodative team/support arround.
Tom Moore commented · April 25, 2011 19:04 · Flag as inappropriate

Include Interactive Brokers.

I second the IB integration comment from Gavin. IB has so many features that align with the VV trading style such as basket trader which allows you to easily trade the basket of 10 stocks with an equal dollar amount for each position.

what is autotrade?
Gavin Sammarco commented · March 03, 2011 18:52 · Flag as inappropriate

VectorVest should eventually coordinate with Interactive Brokers (IB). IB has the lowest trade execution cost & widest trading access to worldwide exchanges. [IB currently provides professional and retail investors the ability to purchase stocks (etc…) on multiple world markets at extremely low commissions.] Under a subscription agreement, VectorVest 7 could hopefully one day be integrated directly into the Interactive Brokers trading platform. With this arrangement worldwide trading access (multiple domestic & foreign exchanges), real-time quotes, and VectorVest information/ analytics could be integrated into a single platform. VectorVest could be used for real time portfolio management/ analysis, evaluate trading ideas, & trigger trades.

Be patient on this request guys ... this is a lot more complicated to accomplish that people realize ... so be patient with the VectorVest team on this one.
