Forex API

Forex API / Automated Trading

For traders interested in utilizing an automated trading system or developing their own black box strategy, FOREX.com supports fully automated trade execution via a proprietary API.

The API provides users with the ability to receive a real-time rate feed, submit trade requests, set and modify stop-loss and take-profit orders, and receive automated confirmations of trade activity.

For qualified users, we provide a testing environment that enables developers to "paper trade" and test their systems in real time before using the API in a production environment with actual funds.

	FOREX.com’s API is a true standards-based XML interface that can be programmed in any network accessible language, from Perl-script to C++, Excel Macro to VB.NET managed code. The API is comprised of two separate technologies: 1. Rate Data Interface Rate data represents the tradable prices published to the client. For this role we use a direct TCP/IP socket interface to the price publication system. To assist with programming in Visual Studio.NET and JAVA, we provide native components that handle the connection and link management. Each component creates events through delegates or call backs as appropriate. 2. Trading Functions The trading functions are initiated by the client in the form of a request. This logic is implemented using Web Services; an XML based SOAP interface that uses HTTP as its transport. Web Services have become the de-facto B2B protocol of choice through their ease of use and cross-platform portability.

For those clients looking to automate their strategy signals generated from scripting languages such as eSignal's Formula Script or TradeStation's EasyLanguage®, please click here.

The API is available free-of-charge to FOREX.com live trading clients. We allow interested parties to register and access our API User Forum. Qualified developers have the ability to test the API with no up front monetary investment.

Getting Started

1.	Register For the API Forum Here you may view API documentation, exchange ideas, share comments and post information with other API users.
2.	Request an API Demo Account From the API Forum
3.	Complete the Account Application Process No deposit is required; however, we ask you to provide us with your projected initial deposit.
4.	Develop Your API You can begin to program against the API and test your code using real-time data in a demo environment.
5.	Fund your live trading account and begin using the API in the production environment

what is forex

What's Forex?

"Forex" stands for foreign exchange; it's also known as FX. In a forex trade, you buy one currency while simultaneously selling another - that is, you're exchanging the sold currency for the one you're buying. The foreign exchange market is an over-the-counter market.

Currencies trade in pairs, like the Euro-US Dollar (EUR/USD) or US Dollar / Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Unlike stocks or futures, there's no centralized exchange for forex. All transactions happen via phone or electronic network.

Who trades currencies, and why?

Daily turnover in the world's currencies comes from two sources:

• Foreign trade (5%). Companies buy and sell products in foreign countries, plus convert profits from foreign sales into domestic currency.
  
  
• Speculation for profit (95%).

Most traders focus on the biggest, most liquid currency pairs. "The Majors" include US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. In fact, more than 85% of daily forex trading happens in the major currency pairs.

The world's most traded market, trading 24 hours a day

With average daily turnover of US$3.2 trillion, forex is the most traded market in the world.
A true 24-hour market from Sunday 5 PM ET to Friday 5 PM ET, forex trading begins in Sydney, and moves around the globe as the business day begins, first to Tokyo, London, and New York.

Unlike other financial markets, investors can respond immediately to currency fluctuations, whenever they occur - day or night.

Forex Tracer
Forex Tracer has become a very popular Forex trading system. It is also touted as being one of the best selling Forex trading systems available.
I do want you to understand one thing before we continue to hear. My goal is to present to you the most objective review that I can based upon the information I am currently reading on Forex Tracer.
If you've been reading other reviews of Forex Tracer and other Forex trading systems it certainly seems that most reviewers are absolutely gaga over every single Forex trading system that becomes available. How can this be? Is it possible that everything that comes out in the Forex trading world works like magic? The answer is, "of course not".
So let me give you the straight scoop on Forex Tracer based upon my observations. In looking at the Forex Tracer sales material I see that it is billed as an automatic wealth building robot. Even I have to admit that sounds very appealing to me, I mean which one of us wouldn't want to build wealth automatically?
