  Ally Invest is an online brokerage platform offering commission-free self-directed trading of US stocks,
  ETFs, and options with no account minimums. The platform provides REST APIs (originally developed from
  the TradeKing acquisition) for managing self-directed investment accounts, placing trades, accessing
  streaming real-time market data, retrieving account balances and holdings, managing watchlists, and
  querying market quotes and news. Authentication uses OAuth 1.0 with consumer and token credentials.
  Responses are available in JSON and XML formats.
