Do we evaluate API's

Good question here:

Is this program MetaTrader only? Our [] "robots" are
MetaTrader[]. I prefer Order2Go to MQL4 for
example. Would we have to port everything to be eligible? Not sure I'm
keen on that idea, especially with MQL5 due "any day now".

Yeah, definitely make use of the API's especially if you need to manage execution in some precise method as no intermediary software is as good/clean/fast as your own code.

You can get FIX docs or other API info right in the forum so make use of it.

We only need account numbers it doesnt matter if you use MQL, MCFX, Metastock etc etc. We only look at the results, code is yours.
