    The integration with Passiv is Questrade’s biggest selling point to me. You can set target portfolios and it automates purchases and rebalancing.

      Passiv also supports a few other brokerages, including my personal favourite, IBKR. But I admit I don’t really like the idea of having such a service to automate my investing: I have a spreadsheet that does all the pruchasing/rebalancing math for me, so I only have to follow what is says.

        The math is easy but I personally have no idea how to set up an API that supports 1 click purchasing.

        I wasn’t aware that the purchasing feature was available for any other brokerages. I’ll have to see who they’ve added support for.

          Oh, I didn’t create my own one-click purchasing solution, but I only trade once a month. So, it takes me less than 15 minutes each month, and I feel more in control, which I prefer. While I love technology, I always wonder what would happen if there were a bug and Passiv transmitted an incorrect order.
