I am using Java for their US based API. Are you using the API in Europe? I have heard that it is a little different there in that you can access historical data, is that true? I would like to gather historical data like I used to do at Oanda, but it ...

Interactive Broker commissions

Are you currently trading with Hotspotfx? And what do you mean by besides the banks? Am I able to get better prices going directly to a bank? If so, how do I do that? Do you have to have a very high volume to do so?

Interactive Broker commissions

EURUSD: 2 GBPUSD: 3 USDJPY: 2 USDCAD: 3 GBPCHF: 6 GBPJPY: 7 EURJPY: 3 CHFJPY: 2-4 NZDUSD: 4 AUDUSD: 2 AUDNZD: 8-15 This is what I was paying at MIG without any commissions, but I am leaving because they have really widened the spread on AUDNZD over ...

I don't understand exactly why the U.S. would want their brokers to deny people in Iraq from opening an account? I thought America was trying to help the Iraq people get back on their feet and prosper? So why deny them from being able to open a ...

Iraqi need to open a live account

1. I've never done much with boxes. 2. You can go long and short at the same time if you want, but you have to open a sub account to make the other trade in. Personally I've never understood why anyone would want to go both ways with the same ...

OANDA Discussion

Your welcome, glad I could help.

OANDA Discussion

With Dukascopy it is very easy. I set up an EA to run in MT4 with only a couple modifications and clicking to allow DLLs for the EA when you attach it to a chart. I can give you the example of what I did as well as the info I obtained from them if ...

Expert advisors written in MQL4 + ECN broker. How?

Oanda's trades are completely automated, so there's no one there approving or disapproving the trade, or any requotes. Their pending orders can stay until filled if I remember correctly. Only on rare cases have they told me that an order was filled ...

OANDA Discussion

As was just mentioned above, Oanda allows you to use a few different languages, but I was using Java for mine. They told me I had to choose just one language to get the library in so I chose Java. Now I have the library from Hotspot in Java, but I ...

Brokers with API

It's been a while now, but the error messages said something about a problem with the socket, not staying connected, something about a handle. Like I said before, I am not expert at programming, but I started a long discussion with others who were ...

Brokers with API

Interesting. I guess maybe it's because I have spent more time working with and trading with EAs, but to me it is so much easier to use EAs for live trading. When I was using the API at Oanda I had problems keeping it running. I talked to the API ...

Brokers with API

I'm a little curious... What do you do with an API that you don't do with an EA? As far as my experience with both of them, they are the same thing: They allow you to code a program that gathers information, make calculations, and execute ...

Brokers with API

I'm pretty sure that is only if you go through another broker that has MT4 and allows you to use their platform to connect to MT4. I believe I read that somewhere on one of the other threads here when I did a search for "Hotspot" and saw an e-mail ...

New Hotspot client-platform

I was hopeing I could use the US based Hotspot, but it is must for me to have access to at least recent historical data in order for my program to be making use of technical analyses. Do you know if they allow Java? I've done a little with c++, but ...

New Hotspot client-platform

MT4 has Expert Advisors that you can auto trade with. Most of my auto trading has actually been done with the MT4 platform over at MIG. So while they don't refer to it as an API, it does serve the same purpose of monitoring the market and doing ...

Brokers with API

I am having a hard time getting eSignal to tell me exactly what kind of data they give for Hotspot! Has anyone used them to collect data that can tell me if the historical data in 1 minute time has OHLC for both the bid a ask prices?

New Hotspot client-platform

I actually used Oanda's API, though I only payed the intial $600 for the library and activation, as my volume was high enough that my discounts exceeded the $600 every month until I canceled it a few months later. The cheaper spreads were enough for ...

Brokers with API

I thought the prices on the demo were the same as the live account, just delayed by about 15 seconds? As for the data providers, do you know which is the cheapest? I don't want to pay a lot of money just to compare prices to another broker, but I ...

New Hotspot client-platform

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the bid and ask prices in their tick chart? Most of the time it is obvious because of where they are placed, but when the market is moving around a lot it is hard to tell, and that is where I ...

New Hotspot client-platform

It's interesting that when I talked to the division here in the US they said they didn't keep historical data for the regular platform (HSFXr), but the Eropean branch shows it in their charts! My problem is that when I look at the tick chart, ...
