Moomoo Securities Introduces a Game-Changing Automated Trading System

In a significant advancement for the trading industry, Moomoo Securities has launched the "Moomoo API Skill," marking the first service in Japan that enables investors to automate U.S. stock trading using only chat commands. This innovative approach significantly lowers the barriers traditionally associated with automated trading, which usually requires extensive programming and development expertise.

Overview of Moomoo API Skill

With the introduction of the Moomoo API Skill, Moomoo Securities aims to create a conversation-based environment where investors can design, test, and execute trading strategies using natural language. This service utilizes AI technologies to generate code for their strategies, conduct backtests, and manage trades seamlessly for the investor.

The Need for Innovation in Automated Trading

Traditionally, automated trading methods can be classified into three main categories:
1. Condition-Based Orders (e.g., IFD, OCO, Trailing): Simple to operate but limited in logic, making complex strategies difficult to implement.
2. Robo-Advisors: Fully automated but lack flexibility in reflecting individual trading strategies.
3. API Trading and Systems Trading: High flexibility but require coding knowledge and have steep entry barriers.

The Moomoo API Skill introduces a fourth category: a no-code system that allows for creating trading systems through natural language, striking a balance between flexibility in strategy and ease of use.

Key Features of Moomoo API Skill

The Moomoo API Skill operates on powerful AI agent tools like Claude Code and Cursor and streamlines a range of processes including:

• - No-Code Strategy Building: Investors can define their trading rules in natural language, allowing AI to convert them into executable code.
• - Natural Language Backtesting: Investors can execute tests using conversational commands such as "validate over the past three years" or "check performance under specific market conditions."
• - Three-Stage Management from Backtesting to Live Trading: The initial setup occurs in a demo environment, allowing users to review results before transitioning to live trading, incorporating a manual verification step by the investor.
• - Continuous Market Monitoring: By maintaining local or cloud-based gateways and execution environments, the system allows for real-time market monitoring and automated order placements based on predefined conditions.

Strengthening Security and Accessibility

Moomoo has taken significant measures to ensure security throughout the trading process. For example, transaction passwords are exclusively managed by "OpenD" and are not shared with the AI, ensuring secure management of trading credentials. Additionally, the use of the Moomoo API Skill is provided at no cost, with regular trading fees applied only during transactions.

Perspectives from Moomoo Leadership

Francisco Izawa, CEO of Moomoo Securities, comments on this innovation: "The Moomoo API Skill represents a substantial leap in the relationship between investing and technology. We are transitioning from merely accessing information to actively utilizing personal strategies that process and execute information autonomously. Our service addresses the technical barriers many investors face and allows for a more expansive and engaging investment experience. By lowering these entry barriers, we empower investors to create and implement their strategies more effectively."

The Bigger Picture for Moomoo

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2018, Moomoo has rapidly developed a platform that hosts over 29 million investors worldwide. The service launched in Japan in October 2022 as Moomoo Securities and reached an impressive milestone of 2 million downloads by November 2025. Moomoo values inclusivity in investing, pushing the envelope with innovative tools and an emphasis on building community through shared information and experiences.

With advancements like the Moomoo API Skill, the company envisions further enhancing the investment experience and providing more options for investors across the globe.
