Cathay Securities — FAQ
Does Cathay Securities offer an API?
Not on the platforms listed here. Cathay Securities is recorded with 新樹精靈AP (manual only) — order-entry software for placing trades by hand, not programmatic access. If you need to automate, check the official site at www.cathaysec.com.tw, since coverage changes and this page lists only what has been verified.
Can I trade automatically with Python at Cathay Securities?
Cathay Securities' official trading-tools and digital-finance pages list no stock order API or Python package; the only API the digital-finance page mentions links securities and bank account opening, not order placement. To automate Taiwan stocks you need a broker with a public order API, such as SinoPac Shioaji or Taishin Nova API (see our broker comparison at /en/brokers/).
Do 新樹精靈 AP conditional orders count as program trading?
Not as API trading. Cathay Securities says 新樹精靈 AP offers smart orders such as trailing take-profit and time-and-volume slicing that fire when a condition is met, across stocks, futures and sub-brokerage; but the conditions are set in the software's interface — you cannot connect your own strategy code. Listed requirements: Windows 10 or later, 8GB RAM recommended.
Where in the Cathay group can I do program trading?
In our data, the Cathay group entity with a program-trading channel is Cathay Futures: MultiCharts broker edition for futures and options (see /en/brokers/cathay-fut/). Cathay Securities' stock account itself has no public API; check cathayfut.com.tw for Cathay Futures' requirements and fees.
Does Cathay Securities support MultiCharts or program trading?
