I have been looking forward to implement some API, and I have been recently reading the documentation of the Interactive Broker API and apparently their 'API' is an API to their trading client, the TWS (trading workstation). That is you have to execute TWS and then you can automate it with their API. Alternatively, you can run the IB gateway but still it is not the same kind of API as the API from FXCM.
jcl, what are your thoughts on this? For reference:
PS: On the other hand Oanda -was the one as dukascopy that didn't charge traders for negative equity after eurchf peg removal wasn't?- has a rest API that for what I read, would allow to make a true API to use with Zorro. I will delve into it meanwhile.
PS2: I found this documentation from ninja trader that shows that their development team implemented the interactive brokers 'api' using the TWS, that is, a third party...Is this acceptable for Zorro?
