⭐ birt Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Anyone with access to the various Oanda APIs willing to share them? Is it even possible to use any of the Oanda APIs with a regular account or does the account have to be flagged as "API enabled"? Has anyone thought about decompiling the Java version and transforming it into some kind of API? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ birt Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Re: [REQ] Oanda API Yeah, I read that page before... Still, the API 'check' might be circumvented somehow by fooling around with it to make it work just like the java client. Probably not worth the time, even tho I already have an account there. In the meantime I made a small program that copies the MT4 trades and the fact that Oanda has better spreads is offset in the feed differences and the trade delay, leading to an effective higher spread on the Oanda platform. Basically, I let a MDP run for a few days with its trades mirrored on Oanda and almost every time the Oanda trade captured less pips than the MT4 trade.

carloss Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Your Oanda account gets API flag=true if you register and pay for FX Spyder....could be the way how to get the full oanda API at the cost of FX spyder fees imho (if you really need it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
