FAQ
You can register on our Dashboard. After you have verified your account, you can log in. We have already created an initial API key for you, which you can use to get started directly in the Paper Trading API.
You can register for the (Paper) Trading API in the Dashboard. From there you can upgrade your Paper Trading account to a Live Trading account by downloading the lemon.markets app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Once you have successfully completed our KYC onboarding process within the app you will be granted access to Live Trading within 2 business days.
Any private person who is of legal age, taxable in Germany (only), and not politically exposed, is invited to create a Live Trading account with lemon.markets. In addition, to wire money in and out of your account, you need to have a European bank account (SEPA).
When you have all the necessary information (IBAN, ID card, etc.) at hand, the process itself including the video identification will only take a few minutes (max. 10 minutes). Afterwards, it can take up to two business days for lemon.markets and our partner BaaderBank to fully open your account. Baader Bank is working hard to enable all account openings (issued before 6 pm) for the following day. However, in case of questions or concerns that Baader Bank has to address back to us, it might take an additional day.
lemon.markets provides access to the market data and trading functionality via the API through three different subscription tiers. Our subscription model is built in a way that you are able to choose according to the intensity with which you wish to use our service. Details on the different pricing tiers can be found on our pricing page.
As lemon.markets does not own a banking license, your securities account and clearing account are held by our partner Baader Bank AG.

Capital in the clearing account is secured by the statutory deposit insurance for an amount up to 100.000 Euro. In addition protection is guaranteed by the deposit protection fund of the association of German banks.
At the moment, we offer the Munich Stock Exchange (XMUN). However, our API structure is designed in such a way that other trading venues can be added in the future.
