Hey, thanks for checking us out. We want to get the UX right first with our existing feature set, and then consider expanding to more advanced things such as derivatives or options. We'll keep your request in mind!

Also agree, re: API tooling. We'd love to find folks who want to write code against our API. Is that something you'd use?

That's definitely what I'm thinking. There are so many tools out there to visualize strategies, profit/loss, scanners for various properties like IV, open interest, volume, etc in the case of options. But very few platforms go to the next level and provide good APIs to manipulate. It would be extremely impressive to offer both data and trade execution via modern APIs. I've wondered if that's an untapped market, or else why someone hasn't jumped on it :)

Alpaca does a decent job on the API front https://alpaca.markets/

Alpaca was top of mind in the smaller group after IB :) They seem really neat!
