Moomoo Securities Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Francisco Izawa; hereinafter "Moomoo Securities") has become the first securities company in Japan to offer "Moomoo API Skill," which allows the construction and operation of system trading solely through natural language instructions. This service provides an environment where API trading and system trading, which previously required programming and the setup of a development environment, can be designed, verified, and executed conversationally. By allowing investors to input trading rules and strategies in natural language, AI agents consistently support code generation, backtesting, and order processing, significantly reducing technical hurdles. This enables investors to reflect their strategies in the market more directly and quickly.
## Moomoo API Skill Arrives
Background: Three Types of Automated Trading and a New Option
Automated trading methods available to individual investors in Japan are mainly categorized into the following three types:
- [Type 1] Conditional Orders (IFD, OCO, Trailing, etc.)
Easy to operate, but limited logic prevents building advanced strategies.
- [Type 2] Robo-Advisors
Operations are automated, but individual trading strategies cannot be flexibly reflected.
- [Type 3] API Trading / System Trading (API/RSS, etc.)
Offers high freedom, but requires programming and development environment setup, posing high entry barriers.
Thus, there was a trade-off between "strategy flexibility" and "ease of introduction." Therefore, our company proposes a "fourth option: no-code system trading via natural language," which solves these challenges by utilizing AI agent technology.
## What "Moomoo API Skill" Can Achieve
This service is a skill pack (feature extension) that operates on AI agent tools such as Claude Code and Cursor. Based on natural language instructions, it links with our company's API to execute the following series of processes. *Currently, only automated US stock trading is supported in the Japanese market.
- Build trading logic with no code
No programming required. By simply defining trading rules in natural language, AI algorithmicizes them and generates executable code.
- Backtesting with natural language
Automated verification based on historical data is executed via conversational instructions such as "verify over the past 3 years" or "confirm performance during specific market conditions."
- 3-stage management: backtesting → demo trading → live trading
Initial setup runs in a demo environment. After confirming verification results, users can transition to live trading. Live trading requires a final confirmation process by the investor.
- Continuous market monitoring and automated order placement
By continuously operating "OpenD," a local environment gateway, and the execution environment locally or in the cloud, real-time market monitoring and automated order placement based on conditions are possible.
## Features of "Moomoo API Skill"
- Consistent automation flow by AI agent
Unlike conventional generative AI that is limited to "information provision," it directly executes APIs to perform strategy design, verification, and order placement in an integrated manner.
- Security design (separation of transaction authentication)
Transaction passwords are managed only by "OpenD" and are not shared with the AI. Furthermore, a manual confirmation by the user is mandatory when executing live transactions.
- Free to use
The use of "Moomoo API Skill" itself is provided free of charge, with only normal transaction fees incurred during trading.
- Comprehensive API provision
A total of 56 types of APIs are provided: 35 for real-time market information, 14 for trading, and 7 for real-time push.

Representative Director and President Francisco Izawa
Moomoo API Skill is an initiative that significantly advances the relationship between investment and technology. Currently, investment is evolving from the stage of "accessing information and making investment decisions" to the stage of "one's own strategy processing and executing information." Until now, full-fledged system trading required programming and the establishment of a development environment, posing a high hurdle for many investors. This service significantly lowers that hurdle by consistently supporting strategy design, verification, and execution through natural language dialogue. We believe this will shorten the distance from idea generation to investment execution for investors, providing an environment where they can build and practice investment strategies more autonomously. We will continue to evolve the investment experience through technology and provide new options to more investors.
