Support for ETrade as a broker #46

dyangelo-grullon commented 7 years ago

I imagine that etrade support is a long-shot. It would probably require a library to interact with their api. The closest I've found is pyetrade, but it seems to lack sufficient support/contributions and is a long way from being close to comprehensive. I plan to put some of my free time into supporting said library, but I was wondering if it was worth it; I was wondering if support for etrade as a broker in zipline-live is feasible or not.

pyetrade seems like something under active development, it is something worth to try.

Or you can make a try to pythonize ETrade's Java api through Swig. That's how IbPy was created and worked out reasonably well.

Great suggestion! I'll dig deeper today to weigh out all the options and explore zipline-live's use of IbPy as a point of reference.

@kekkler did you progress with this at all?
