FXCM API
DESCRIPTION:
This is API (Application Programming Interface) for automating FOREX trading with FXCM (http://www.fxcm.com) accounts. It relies on network protocol used for first generation of FX TradingStation which is no longer used by FXCM so **the API is not functional anymore**.
The API has been developed by reverse engineering network traffic between FX TradingStation (FXCM's trading platform) and FXCM's servers. The API substitutes client side of FX TradingStation (FXTS) system so FXCM servers treat Python code using this API as regular FXTS session.
The API has been developed in time when automated trading was not available to retail traders or access to API was too "expensive" (deposit on account bigger than $100k).
Today FXCM API is open to all FXCM traders and more can be found at:
