How to Request Broker Features in TradersPost
Most read
If a feature like bracket orders is missing for a broker in TradersPost, it is usually due to broker-side limitations. Traders can request features from TradersPost, but petitioning the broker directly increases the likelihood of the feature being added.
Why Some Features Are Not Available for Certain Brokers
When a feature like bracket orders is unavailable for a specific broker in TradersPost, it is typically due to limitations on the broker’s side. TradersPost can only support features that the broker officially provides through their API.
For example, if a broker does not support bracket orders, then TradersPost cannot enable them, even if other brokers do offer the feature.
Can Traders Request a Feature?
If a broker adds a new feature (like bracket orders) and it is not yet available in TradersPost, users should:
1. Confirm with the broker that the feature is officially supported via their API.
2. Submit a feature request to TradersPost, so the team can evaluate and implement it.
Sometimes brokers make updates that TradersPost is not immediately aware of, so trader requests help prioritize integrations.
Does Petitioning a Broker Help?
Yes. If traders petition the broker directly, it increases the likelihood of the feature being added to their API. Once a broker supports the feature, TradersPost can then work on implementing it.
A good example is Coinbase, which has expanded its feature set over time. If enough traders request additional order types, brokers may be more likely to introduce them.
Conclusion
Feature availability in TradersPost depends on whether the broker supports the feature in their API. Traders can request features from TradersPost, but in many cases, petitioning the broker directly is the best way to increase the chances of the feature being added.
