Is this as good as it sounds? No commissions? No account minimums? Unlimited trades? I have a long short equity alpha that trades frequently that will benefit greatly from this. Any idea yet what it will take to add QuantConnect support for this? Or, is it just a matter of changing account types on the IBKR side? Can't wait to find out more.

Hmmm...IBKR web site says "Coming in October". It also says IBKR APIs are not supported...

Ahh that's such a shame! It would be awesome if it were supported their API.

Their Bot interface is supported... I wonder if it'd be possible to 'interface' with that...

What kind of account do we need to open with IB exactly in order to make it work with QC? Is it IBKR pro?
Jared Broad
Correct, currently IBKR PRO.
