I am looking for an API which will allow me to back test my strategies before I apply them to my account.

I have noticed that the only API that seems to really fit (from its description) is the Price Engine SDK but it seems not to be available to the individual user.

What options are available to me?

Description
This is a fully functional JAVA version of the FXCM FX Trading Station
utilizing the Java Trading API.



* Please bear in mind that FXCM does not currently provide active support for this platform. We offer it because we understand the need for a Java based application both for individual traders and as an example to illustrate what options we provide to developers. Although members of FXCM’s staff cannot support this product at present, any questions or comments can be posted on the forum located at fxprogrammers.com. It is also important to note that this platform has not gone through the same qualitative analysis and testing that our windows based platform has and therefore we cannot be held responsible for errors that may occur while trading. We strongly suggest that you keep this in mind while using the platform. ]]> Free Applications Simit Patel http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/free-applications/63915-java-trading-api-java-fx-trading-station.html <![CDATA[[Order2Go] FXCMRTD]]> http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/free-applications/63914-order2go-fxcmrtd.html Mon, 09 Jan 2006 15:20:17 GMT FXCMRTD *Language* Visual Basic 6 *API...

  1. Click Start > Run...

You can then open Excel and use the RTD function, which is used in the form:
=RTD("FXCMRTD.RTDFunctions",,Currency, Topic, Username, Password, Connection)

The connection would be "Demo" or "Real", depending on the type of account you would like to get the information from.

- High
- Low
- IntrS
- IntrB
- ContractSize
