API Skills Connect AI with Trading Systems
On April 23, 2026, global trading platform moomoo launched Moomoo API Skills, a new professional-grade facility that integrates AI agents with live trading, marking the first of its kind in the Australian and New Zealand markets. This launch represents a significant advancement in financial technology, allowing investors to bridge personal AI agents and live market execution seamlessly.
Investors can now connect their preferred AI agents, such as OpenAI Operator, Claude Code, and Cursor, directly to moomoo’s trading infrastructure through the Moomoo API local gateway. This connection enhances automated investment workflows by leveraging moomoo’s extensive market data.
Michael McCarthy, CEO of Moomoo Australia and New Zealand, stated, “This facility allows users to harness moomoo’s rich data to power their own personal AI strategies. We provide the professional-grade technology, but the investor remains the driver of every investment decision.”
Key Features of the Moomoo API
Traders can automate complex tasks such as customised screening of market data and indicators, drafting orders, and estimating values based on predefined strategy logic. they can conduct backtesting and multi-step strategy validation utilising historical data. This feature enables traders to refine their strategies with precision.
The Moomoo API acts as a high-performance gateway, enabling users to select, train, and configure their own AI models. This ensures that trading strategies remain private and tailored to each individual’s specific logic and risk profile. Designed for those demanding institutional-level precision, the facility supports US and Hong Kong stock trading. Despite the automation capabilities, every trading instruction generated by an AI agent requires manual password-secured authorisation before execution.
Security measures include Moomoo’s proprietary OpenD technology, which creates a secure local vault on the user’s device. This architecture ensures that sensitive account data and trading passwords are never exposed to external AI servers, safeguarding users’ information.
Moomoo, operated by Moomoo Australia and New Zealand and owned by Futu Holdings, integrates global trading, up-to-date news, real-time market data, and an active trading community. The platform provides access to securities across Australian, United States, and Hong Kong markets. Futu Holdings, a global fintech operation listed on Nasdaq, operates in eight world markets, showcasing its expansive reach and influence in the financial sector.
