Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closed

A new Order Duplication System is now available as a premium component. The system allows to duplicate orders from a MT4 client to a FIX adapter connection. This is useful in applying successful MT4 automated experts on industrial grade FIX connections (Integral or DukasCopy) or when using MT4 as a manual trading front-end.

DukasCopy FIX Adapter Now Available February 23, 2010

We have been searching for a solid, fast and stable trading option, that is more affordable than the current Integral FIX adapter, and DukasCopy has proven an excellent choice. The adapter allows to trade using the Open Forex Platform with a direct DukasCopy server FIX connection, and is available now as a premium component. For more information contact us at (sales@openforexplatform.com) or see DukasCopy web site.

New Release(s) Coming February 7, 2010

Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closed

There have not been many improvements lately on the platform, but this was for a good reason - we were hard at work rolling out our new software platform, that will become the basis of what is essentially the Ofxp.2.

We are now close to a first release of this general .NET development platform, and it is coming around the end of this month. The platform is a huge improvement over the current underlying infrastructure, and will allow us to compose and provide new products much faster.

Once its out, we shall also do a release (v.0.9) of the Forex Platform to put out a binary set for all the improvements that were done on the current SVN branch (there is more info on those in the Wiki). This version will than serve as a migration basis for the brand new OFxP versions that are coming along.

We have started developing the infrastructure for what essentially will become the second version of the platform. Combination of new elements with parts of the existing solution will allow us to quickly catch up with the changing conditions on the trading market and provide a new cutting edge trading application suite. More details to follow as soon as we are closer to a first release of the redesigned system.

In the mean time, small but constant bug fixes and improvements are being done on the current solution (faster thread pool, improved MBTrading integration now provides Equity and correct position information, also extended support for complex order types on back-testing, thanks to Burt99). All of those available on the latest code on the SVN.

Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closed

The first Open Forex Platform FIX based integration has successfully been live tested and verified, and is now available for usage. For this one we utilized the power of the excellent open source QuickFIX engine. The integration currently provides direct access to a number of very high volume liquidity providers (incl. commercial banks) and is suitable for both High Speed Trading and high volume manual trading.

This integration component is also our first premium component; it is aimed mainly at industrial sized integrations, rather than individual traders and we have decided to offer it exclusively with a support package, full production documentation and design documents (all currently available), as well as the usual complete solution source code. For details on the specific conditions of obtaining the component, please contact us directly at sales@openforexplatform.com.

This is a simple diagram, that gives an idea what are the current connectivity capabilities of the platform. Our goal is to ultimately have the most connect capable financial solution possible. The list of tradeable items is already rather substantial, including not only Forex, but Futures, Stock and Options as well. In the coming months, along with other developments, we shall provide more GUI and business entities to simplify and extend the usability of the traded assets groups.
