Current Status: In Development
Moomoo OpenD integration for OptionTrigger is in active development. This page serves as the canonical source for status updates, timeline expectations, and technical details.
| Aspect | Status |
|---|---|
| API Research | ✅ Complete |
| OpenD Compatibility Assessment | ✅ Complete |
| Core Integration | 🔧 In Progress |
| Paper Trading Support | 📋 Planned |
| Live Trading Support | 📋 Planned |
| Public Beta | 📅 TBD |
| Production Release | 📅 TBD |
What the Integration Will Enable
Once complete, Moomoo OpenD integration will support:
- One-click options orders from TradingView charts via Moomoo
- Auto take-profit and stop-loss for single-leg options
- Portfolio panel showing Moomoo positions
- Option chain overlay with Moomoo market data
- Paper trading for testing and learning
- Local execution model — same local-first architecture as the current IBKR integration
The feature set will match the existing IBKR integration as closely as Moomoo's OpenD API allows.
Why Moomoo?
Moomoo was chosen as the second supported broker for several reasons:
1. OpenD API Availability
Moomoo provides OpenD, a documented local API that supports programmatic trading. This is architecturally similar to IBKR's TWS API — the bridge runs locally, credentials stay on your machine, and order latency is minimized.
2. Growing Options Trader Base
Moomoo has been aggressively expanding its US options trading capabilities and user base, particularly among active traders who also use TradingView.
3. Lower Barrier to Entry
Compared to IBKR, Moomoo generally has:
- No account minimums
- Simpler account approval process
- Lower data subscription costs
- A more modern, approachable UI
This makes Moomoo an attractive entry point for traders who want to move from TradingView analysis to live options execution without the complexity of IBKR.
4. Geographic Reach
Moomoo serves traders in the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other markets — expanding OptionTrigger's addressable audience beyond IBKR's primary user base.
Technical Details
Architecture
The Moomoo integration will follow the same local execution architecture as IBKR:
TradingView Desktop
↓ (OptionTrigger Injection)
OptionTrigger Desktop App
↓ (Local API Call)
Broker Backend (Rust)
↓ (OpenD Protocol)
Moomoo OpenD
↓ (Broker API)
Moomoo Servers
OpenD Requirements
For the integration to work, Moomoo OpenD must support:
| Capability | Required For | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Options order placement | Core trading | ✅ Supported |
| Real-time options quotes | Chain overlay & pricing | ✅ Supported |
| Bracket orders (TP/SL) | Auto exits | Under evaluation |
| Position data streaming | Portfolio panel | ✅ Supported |
| Account info | Buying power, P&L | ✅ Supported |
| Order status updates | Fill notifications | ✅ Supported |
The primary technical challenge is the bracket order (simultaneous entry + TP + SL) capability. IBKR supports native bracket orders; we're determining whether Moomoo OpenD provides equivalent functionality or if it needs to be implemented client-side.
Timeline (Best-Effort Estimates)
These are engineering estimates, not commitments. Timelines can shift based on API limitations discovered during development, Moomoo-side changes, or reprioritization.
| Milestone | Estimated Window | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha (Internal) | Q3 2026 | Core order placement working; internal testing only |
| Closed Beta | TBD | Invitation-only testing with selected users |
| Public Beta | TBD | Available to all OptionTrigger users with Moomoo accounts |
| Production | TBD | Full support; included in standard OptionTrigger releases |
