Tradier processes over a billion API calls monthly. That's not a vanity metric. It's the reason your multi-leg orders and high-frequency signals get consistent acknowledgment times instead of degraded performance during peak hours.
Options pricing starts at $0.10/contract with the Pro Plus plan, with no per-trade ticket fee, making Tradier one of the most cost-effective options venues available for high-frequency strategies.
RelayDesk reads your Tradier balances, open positions, and Greeks in real time. Position sizing is automatic, and signals that would breach your risk limits are filtered before they reach the broker.
Run multiple strategies against one Tradier account simultaneously. RelayDesk keeps each bot's risk parameters and position tracking completely separate.

Multi-leg orders require defining the leg structure in your bot settings.
What to check if an order doesn't go through as expected.
Verify your account holds the options approval level required for the spread type — naked or uncovered legs need a higher approval tier than covered positions — and that each leg's strike and expiration combination is valid.
Check that position sizing matches your account's actual buying power. For multi-leg strategies, margin requirements can exceed a simple sum of the individual legs.
Standard orders only execute during the regular session. Queue the signal for the next open, or use an order type your account supports for extended hours.
