$600 for every two months of testing with FXGame isn't as bad as $600 every month with a losing system.... but the Oanda folks haven't gotten back to me about this aspect. Do you think they would frown on someone cancelling and re-signing up for that purpose? We'll see how it goes. I've also...

Good point. I'll make sure that our system's trading frequencies and dollar volumes jive out to cover the 12M.

It seems that if any brokerage was appropriate for an under capitalized account it would be Oanda, since you can trade $1 if you want. What problems did you run into due to insufficient capital? Am I inferring correctly that you no longer use the Oanda API? Why stop? If one does...

Oanda's existing interface is Java based, so it makes sense that their best API port is in Java. Would an ASCII based socket level interface be useful? I don't know how hard networking is in the microsoft languages. I would consider writing such an interface if there was interest.

Their Java API looks simple enough, and is my choice hands down. But I'm not a C++/VB type, so you may be on the right track. Does this imply that you are considering purchasing their API? I'd like to know if anyone has bought it yet, and how their doing. I'm on the verge of purchasing it myself.
