Hey,

I just read OANDA broker integration support is planed for Version.0.9
I probably don't need to say that this would be absolutely superb!!!

I'm struggling with these issue my self since quite a while.
Is there is already some plan on how to accomplish this?

Are you planing to use the official Oanda API?
Have you read this?
-------------------------------------
Pricing
OANDA charges an initial licensing fee of USD $600, which entitles the customer to two free months of access to one API library for testing and implementation. After these two months, a monthly fee applies. The monthly fee is USD $600, discounted by USD $50 for every USD $1M in monthly volume of currency traded from the account.

Note that customers with accounts exceeding USD $12M in volume in a month are entitled to free usage of the API for the next month.
------------------------------------
In my opinion these fees are way to high!!
I already programed a soft GUI API through OCR etc. ( doesn't work anymore since the changed some fronts etc. )
then I tried to read the quotes etc. from memory directly ( works for a couple seconds then memory gets moved around by JVM )
Now I'm checking if one could use the Java access bridge http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/accessibility/accessbridge/ ( I'm not very optimistic so far )
It's really hard to do some kind of screen scraping since they use Java...

I'm curious to hear your plans

Hi Flyingimmi,

this is indeed bad news for the OANDA API, I had not seen this pricing policy - it is very high indeed! The hope in this case is to have some user of the Platform donate his API license for the time needed to develop the integration. All in all a major set back for sure.

Hey,
I did some research and found that Fxcm has an API without an minimum deposit
http://www.fxcm.com/api-landing.jsp
Order2Go COM Trading API
They are also supposed to be an reliable Broker
It's mentioned in somewhere in the forum that the FXCM integration is already possible as soon as
the FIX protocol works, thats only true for people with an live account ( not micro ) with over US$25,000
balance.

Thanks, this is good information. I have put integration to this API in the Wiki as a feature for v.0.9, with status Under Consideration, so I'll review it once it is time.

hi Flyingimmi & admin
I am a fan of OANDA. I have "cracked" OANDA FXTrade real-time quoting interface. That means it's available for me to get all currency pairs real-time price quoting without it's API. But only for that so far, not figure out how to get history data and trigger order, maybe very difficult technically.
Hope to have chance to work with this great software in future.

Hello Mitchell,

Why do you need to crack the API, why not use the API directly?

I didn't mean cracking to the API, but to the trading software (FxTrade).
If you are familiar with OANDA, API needs payment, but the trading software (FxTrade) is free for every OANDA users.
