I would like some guidelines on how to license code based on FXCM APIs. Since it contains information derived from FXCMs documents and code I suppose you might have restrictions. Please let me know if such exist.
Also, can I upload source code on their corresponding forums?
You are able to distribute applications that use the Report API. You are also able to discuss the code in this forum. However, you cannot distribute the actual API. If you would like to post example applications or code, please email them along with details to systemtrading@fxcm.com.
