  • [Source] Reorganized the Bulk Downloads examples: the Private AWS S3 download is now Example 1 with a unified heading; the machine learning model download example was moved to Example 2 under a Python-only section. Cleaned up/standardized language scoping and HTML structure for the examples.

2026-06-26

  • [Source] Added a new TradeStation Rate Limit section documenting REST API quotas (320 account/order/balance/position requests per 5 minutes, 500 quote snapshots per 5 minutes, 90 option endpoint requests per minute) and the integration's proactive throttling and 429 back-off behavior; renumbered subsequent sections and updated related anchors/links.

  • [Source] Added a new example demonstrating how to download from a private AWS S3 bucket using Signature Version 4 headers with the Download method. Includes Python and C# implementations, recommends storing AWS credentials in algorithm parameters, emphasizes using real UTC time (not algorithm time) due to S3's 15-minute window, and notes presigned URL as an alternative.
