Something I don't see talked about much: the order types your broker API supports are basically a hard cap on what your agent can actually do.

Most APIs handle market and limit fine. But trailing stop, stop limit, market if touched, those are either missing entirely or you have to simulate them yourself at the application layer. Which means your code is the one watching price, deciding when to trigger, and submitting the order. That's a lot to trust to your own connection stability.

Seen people build some pretty involved workarounds but it always feels like adding risk to an already complicated stack.

What broker APIs is everyone using and which advanced order types actually work natively? Specifically asking about trailing stop, stop limit, market if touched, limit if touched.
