We are not the same.
Robinhood launched MCP today. @Sikes_ explains what they built versus what @Public built: "Robinhood's launch: equities only, separate account, not able to interact with your current positions, no transactions, no options, no crypto. Limited implementation." "Public: full power of the platform, all asset classes, all transactions, documentation that lets LLMs work within our API stack, your actual account. Platform shift coming." "Three types of investors: controlled experience, roll-your-own API, stay in Claude and add a connector. The implementation determines which you can serve."

Fully integrated agentic experience with access to equities, options, crypto etc vs…. an MCP for equities (?) We are not the same.
Are @public and @RobinhoodApp the only brokerages offering this? $HOOD

The $25k PDT rule is dead on @public starting June 4. Day trade with small account size. Scale horizontally across multiple accounts. Connect your strategy to our API, MCP server, or Agents and let it run. We are moving FAST here folks..🦾
May 20
Starting June 4, the $25,000 PDT minimum equity requirement to day trade will no longer apply on Public. More flexibility for active investors, built directly into the platform experience.

Somebody get that guy a haircut. Also, Agents are cool and great for trading.

Agents can trade and manage crypto on Public. 24/7. Here's a breakdown of everything you can automate right now, from conditional trades to options strategies tied to $BTC's price.

Schwab is joining Fidelity in the pay to play shakedown for shelf space for outsider ETFs.. which was referred to as a "law of the jungle" but is irking smaller issuers bc if you don't pay they charge the investor $100 to trade the ETF. Vgrd will never pay anyone for shelf space but they popular enough sounds like they can get away with it. Rough stuff. Good story on it from @RIABiz

Three updates to the @public API worth knowing about: 1. crypto fee tiers are live - 0.60% under 10k/mo, drops to 0.10% at 100M . seven tiers total. if you're doing any volume at all you're probably already in the 0.30%–0.50% range. 2. cancel and replace now works for equity orders -same PUT endpoint, previously only crypto qty and options. 3. options greeks are now returned directly in the option chain endpoint. no separate call needed. link in reply ↓
