I am interested in writing a small automatic trader for the forex market. I would like to chose my own tools (platform and programming language) and I just need to find a decent API to query the numbers and that accepts requests for trading actions. I guess the ideal would be some web service with a XML API, or similar.
Any ideas?
For new developers, APIs for forex provide a simple way to add foreign exchange market features to their applications. Endpoints make the integration process easy compared to manually coding in that functionality. Businesses can obtain real-time currency conversions with APIs for the foreign exchange market.
Check out the InteractiveBrokers API or the Cunningham T4 API. Both are really good, although I'm not exactly sure T4 allows forex trading.
MT4 is the industry standard. It allows simple interface through .dll files and has an extensive support base.
