FXCM Launches REST API and Python Wrapper

[radicaltrader]

Are we going to swap to the new FXCM API?
The old one is crappy. You cannot run a strategy over the weekend with the existing connection.

There is no announcement regarding implementation of a new FXCM API at this time, however, I'll be submitting this as a feature request to the Development Team. I'll edit this post when I have a tracking number.

EDIT: The tracking number is SFT-3114.

Thanks for that I will wait till the API is fixed.
In the meantime, I will use FXCM's Trading Station.

is not enough interest from long term traders? Is NinjaTrader only for daytraders?

Deciding on features for future releases is not a simple black and white decision. There are many factors involved including but not limited to:

• Demand which is measured by objective user requests and subjective discretion on the part of our Product Management team.
• Feasibility
• Developer bandwidth
• Current projects in the queue
• Economics

You'll find the tracking numbers provided in the release notes when a feature is implemented:

thanks for your reasons why SFT-3114 will not be developed
