Why is an Open API important?

For brokers, an Open API is important because it enables one to provide a service to third parties who are interested in building their own customised trading applications. Commercial users may promote their development in conjunction with a preferred broker or act as an introducing broker and leverage their application to recruit traders, investors or subscribers. Without an Open API, this growing segment of partners and investors would be unattainable.
