A question has sat unanswered in r/algotrading since December 2024: is there an actual list of prop firm with public trading API ?

The “buy 20–35% below the 25-day MA” rule everyone quotes is a regime-specific number from 2001–02 that BNF himself said had already decayed by 2004 — and he said the rule alone doesn’t work. Here’s what the
Most automated strategies treat a rejected order like a hiccup. Log it, maybe fire an alert, and move on. That habit is the reason otherwise sound strategies quietly blow up. When an order is rejected mid strategy, the bot often has no way of knowing it happened. If it never reconciles its internal state against
