Hi, new guy here looking into QC after losing the ability to live trade on Quantopian. I'm moving my money to Interactive Brokers, but I remember seeing at one time (2015, and I think again earlier this year) that Tradier is supported for live trading on QC, but i don't see it anywhere on the site anymore. Is this no longer available?

Welcome to QC!
Tradier was removed as the API is a polling based API which works fine for point-click trading but failed when we were polling it 1M+ times per day for each algorithm. IB is the best for us at the moment.
We still have the implementation in the open source project but its not actively maintained. Tradier also removed their $1/trade offer so they are back up to their standard $3.50 per trade.

Thanks. The only reason I was interested is because Equities.com has a $29.95/month unlimited trading plan through Tradier, and I figured that would be the next best alternative to Robinhood.

Understood. Please petition Robinhood to grant API access and we can integrate it here :)
