Thread: Order2Go COM Trading API

Order2Go is a COM based API that allows a user to obtain many of the functions that are available in the FXCM Trading Platform. By instantiating the FXCM Core object in an application, the user will have the ability to retrieve information that is contained in many of the tables displayed in the Trading Platform, including the dealing rates, accounts, orders, open and closed positions. In addition, instructions can be sent to place, modify and retrieve information from market and entry orders.

Requirements
- The developer need only provide information on the desired programming language and intended use of the product, which are fields requested in the request form.

To obtain this API, please fill out the api request form at
http://www.fxprogrammers.com/api_request.htm

Can I instal Order2Go on a third party web server?

i did the request form and got a response back that my login was good. How do I actually get the application?

Is there a server where I can test my Orders2Go API if it is able to work with new market conditions (FIFO)?

I request the Order2Go few days ago filling the api request page, and I didn't receive it yet. I also have a real micro account so I do not understand why you did not response.

I have Requested the API and got confermation email

So can you please inform me where can i download the API?

After I sent the request form, I got a replied email told me my login is activated. but no where has the information to download the API.

Sometimes, FXCM does strange things. like this, you asked the API, but they give you the login account and i saw other threads reported this, but got no answer.

Dear wgm192,

Once your login is activated you are able to download the Order2Go API from the Source Documentation section for O2G. For quick access to this section click on the following link: Order2Go Latest Production Release

*Yap, you can simply say tradestation/marketscope doesn't allow automate. I know that. but i want to do. It should possible.


In programming..

[indocator.lua file ]
-- Indicator calculation routine
function Update(period, mode)

-- **here i want to call and show alert window.

end




** yap, it is possible to call "os.execute ([command])" lua function there. But i prefer to know another way.

Alerts and trading operations will be supported in the future release of the indicator core, inside the upcoming strategies module.

Hi Luke, I had to sign up again here to reply to you. On my orginal account Narnia32 and this new one, I cannot seem to access the download url for the Order2Go API software. I also now seem unable to reply to you on my old user account (Narnia32). The details i get for both replying to you on my old account and for accessing the download page are:

Narnia32_2, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. Please note that only forum members who have posted at least 5 times have the permission to add new threads.

All I wish to do is download the latest Order2Go API, is there another url where this software is posted of which i can use?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jose,

All appears to work correctly now, so thanks for sorting that.

Apparently FXCM is due to release an update to include periods 2 hours and 4 hours for charts. I know you can just type in h2 or h4 into the period irrespective of the periods displayed in the combo to achieve this. My question is, doing the same in the Order2Go interface does not seem to work and infact causes an error. I have just tried it with you latest Order2Go API. Can you tell me, are you due to release an Order2Go update which supports such time periods as H2, H4, m10?

Thanks in advance!
