I used their API in the past but wasn’t satisfied for my automated trading. Anyone have good experience with them ?

I've had two Tradier accounts and closed them both - it just wasn't worth it...

I'd love to hear more on what didn't work and how long ago this was. Would you be able to shed more light on your experience?

I've been strongly contemplating moving over due to the low commissions, and strong API trading support is a must have for me.

aside from the technical issues, I would have to shave the price by a dollar or more to get a fill - so if the commissions at my other brokers is .50 or less, what's the point of using Tradier?

Traider has the following behavior: after the market closed yesterday, I tried to adjust the limit price of one trade. The software said "Pending" for the adjusted trade. Before the market opened today, I wanted to adjust the limit price again. The interface wouldn't let me do that. There is a "Cancel" button, but when I pressed it, it said "order not available to be canceled". When the market opened, the stock moved in my favor, and I could have taken a profit. But the order was cancelled and I missed my target. (The stock moved in the opposite direction after I realized the problem.)

I think if I am careful enough, I can get around with problems like this. I wondered if others have similar experiences... or is it supposed to be a pain in the neck to trade in Tradier because it is almost free?
