Yes it is all good with them, especially the free and very good api, this way I do not need to care about their platform
the only unfortunate thing with them being their quite high spreads, making trading on smaller scale not quite as enjoyable.Dukascopy

Well, yes only their platform is ridiculous. Possibly their data is usable and they also offer some kind of API; but it is such a pain to get his hands on it just to test it..

So, you say that above these conditions both the API and the historic data can be accessed "free". Well, it's ok then. I misunderstood. Thanks.

I understand that it is a lot of data to move around. Especially with lmax's policy to ship data only in the resolutions tick and M1 and D1. But of what use is an API without historic data? And they do not care to state what happens after the free ...

Indeed, without those helpers mt4 is unmanagable to me; of course I have created my own interface and posted it of FF, but nobody seems to care; I so suppose because there is no sl or tp to set, since I do not use those

Yes, leverage, and the $10k minimum; also as for free API access (250 contracts/month for classic accounts).

Well I did so yesterday; I wondered why they do not provide CFDs and asked about API trading. They pointed out that one can open a LMAX account through them as IB, further this would enable to trade via the venues provided by LMAX (API, MC, web); ...

Because I am only interested in api trading; no crappy mt4, no crappy web interface. Besides that, pepperstone is like at the end of the world, as my ass is currently sitting in the lands of the germans.

- m.m.m. replied May 24, 2012
Not really. I fail to see how a bigger account size would make api trading more worthwhile for them; they have to maintain api trading facillities anyway. Also, they are paid with the commission, and that should be it. Now, if I cannot trade via ...

Trading via mt4 is more expensive that via lmax's web interface. They also charge extra for trading via api. This is what I hate about lmax: thier inconsitent (stupid) policy. It does not make sense to me to tax different trading venues differently. ...

Do you want the code or what? But, what is the use of it if you do not "speak" java? Sure, you can use it "as is"; but this is not much different than using jforex. Anyway, I have made the code public, for who ever wants to use it. You can download ...
