Anybody uses them for automated trading? They are missing some info on the website: 1. What minimum do they require for FX trading? 2. Do they have a C++ friendly API? What's the opinion, are they good? I saw they were rated #1 by Barron's. thanks!
1. Only need $400 USD to open an account and minimum trade size is 1000 units 2. They support VB, C (and C++ and C# as well), and Excel to interface with their Navigator (fully Microsoft COM-compliant development platform) which means Visual Studio able 3. #1 on Barrons? So is TOS and IB. Depends on how you read the results. As to automated trading with them, have you taken a look at using Ninjatrader to write some automation? Their Ninjascript is C# and the engine is already there. Much easier than starting from scratch. Oh, and they are pretty decent fx brokers overall. Only real complaints are the commish is 50% higher than IB and they have limits on ACH withdrawals.
