I gave 3 years full time but there are bills to be paid and my profits were not consistent. Hence i still stick to my believe. A consistently profitable day trader is indeed the hardest job to do. It takes a lot out of you, as you go through the mental stress in front of the PC day in day out...

I guess there is never really a level playing field A trader sitting in the exchange building with server co-located will beat anyone sitting at home or in an office down the street.:D

Look at the site below Patsystems has got a lists of API partners You would be able to use these frontends to trade into brokers who has a Patsystems infrastructure. http://www.patsystems.com/partner.asp?menuid=28&submenuid=50&pageid=50&menuname=API+partners&menu=sub

Most brokers will either have their own proprietary frontend, self developed or take a frontend off the shelf , eg) TT, GL ,Patsystems etc Hence with the option of offering FIX or API connection, clients have a choice of using their own frontend platform to trade markets offered by the brokers.

Most brokers will allow you to connect through FIX They would install a FIX Trading Gateway to read with your proprietary frontend , which would allow you to trade seemlessly through their backend servers. MF Global ,Newedge etc.

Hi Craig your question is about connecting through FIX or trading FX?
