Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closed

Despite its name, the Open Forex Platform is capable of operating with any instrument provided by the Broker or Broker API (ETF, CFD, Futures, Metals, Indexes etc.). Although it started as a Forex only effort, a few years ago, the current source code and functionality have been developed, from the start, to be a versatile tool - useful for any form of electronic trading and analysis.

The Open Forex Platform now supports both reading and writing data from the binary HST (Historical MT4 Quotes) files. There is a good source for HST one minute data, from Alpari, here: http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/dc/databank.php

The functionality for reading HST is already available trough the SVN source code repository, and will become part of the coming 0.8 release. As usual, it is all open source so it can be reused if needed.

Next version overview… April 2, 2009

The coming 0.8 version of the Platform has been some time in the making and is now due in a 2-3 weeks time. It features a revised workspace, allowing easy usage of mutliple components at the same time, docked next to each other or free floating; also the long awaited internal data storage is up as well as improved MT4 integration with instance orders execution and data retrieval, to benefit automated systems. We are also going for a second integration, to allow an even further extended broker set, so stay tuned.
