Nope. He wrote that he does not know how to program. Hence, I assume he might be willing to learn it. If not, he should just forget algotrading. Because algotrading with drag and drop tools or silly premade tools is doomed from the start.

Yes. Python is a programming language. Every decent broker provide sn api that works with Python, so you can just make your orders directly. No need for whatever you mean with platform. To buy or sell can often be done in one line of code. And if you want already made code, Github has...

I am trading with Oanda. They have a great api. However, this guy have made it even better: https://github.com/hootnot/oanda-api-v20 It is even well documented, which is relatively unusual for most gits So if you want to see how it works, I would suggest just getting a demoaccount with Oanda...

Python is easy to learn. So do yourself a favor and skip all the «easier» options that will leave you stranded as soon as you reach the next level and just go for Python.

Just open a free trading account and use their free API. They even have code examples on their developer pages about how you can get tick by tick trades for free. You do not even have to code. Just use their code, and off you go...

He-he... That sounds like a great business plan. Use for example Oanda's API to get the fx-rates for free, and sell it to people that doesn't know any better. If they can trick anyone, it is a 100 % profit margin business.....

I am sure you can find cheaper. But it is competitive, and you will not risk not getting your money back nor that they will make your life harder if you start gaining, as is often the case with the less reputable brokers.

Yes, as @angrytrader is saying. This is not an error in your code. It is caused by Python not being able to locate the requested library. If you have installed the library, be sure that you are using the same Python instance or Honda environment, if using Anaconda, as where you installed it

How is this any worse than investing in Twitter, Google and the other anti-democratic behemoths in the US? But I guess, money doesn't smell....

Automate your trading. I basically spend two hours setting up the weeks trading Monday morning, and occasionally check in. Actually, my best month was when I went on vacation and didn't have access to the computer my trading is running on..... So learn Python, and get your life back....

After watching Long Way Up, I really started to like the Rivian. But the new Audi Etron GT does also look very nice. Or maybe the Taycan? There is no doubt that Tesla is getting competition. And, since just about everyone and their dog have a Tesla, I think people are really looking for...

Infront (https://www.infrontfinance.com) provide same type of API as Reuters and Bloomberg for a fraction of the cost. However, it is not as comprehensive as a ull Bloomberg subscription. But the data quality is questionable from all the above mentioned providers. When I worked as an...

There are hundreds of brokers out there. If you are going to be successful, you need a marketing plan that is better than most others. So unless you have a few million laying around you can spend on attracting customers, I would think it is a losing proposition

Ok. Fine. It is your money. If you are Australian, no broker that you want to do business will give you higher leverage. Brokerages that willingly break the law, will not pay out your money if you end up making some. When that is said, if the Australian rules are like the European, you can...

The CFD-brokers are require to post the statistics for their customers. At least in Europe. Oanda says 28% of their cloents make money. A few precent of those 28 probably makes most of it thought

Most of the brokers that cater to gamblers should still provide higher leverage, but not to Australians. So if you are an Australian, you need one with a lax relationship with rules and regulations. It is the same in Europe. No serious broker will provide me with more than 1:30 leverage, as it...
