API for Linux

Quote from vincegata:

ActiveTick, data feed only, works natively on Linux.

Thanks for the link, it seems interesting.
It's also cheaper than the competition at $49.95/month for 500 symbols (way more than I need).

The only problem with it it's that it looks to be a data feed only.
I would also need a routing API that works on Linux, i.e. an API which allows you to send orders to the exchange.

Still it's good to know about it.
 
They send the orders to one of these brokers:

TD Ameritrade
FXCM
Gain Capital Forex

so routing is available through them.
They say other brokers will be available soon.

I thought Active Tick is only for feed. However FXCM and Gain were sued by Gov't for front running their customers, hence I would not trust them.

Read this thread, it's very informative, geared towards auto trading Equities on Linux but many of those brokers also deal with Forex.

Interactive Broker's Unix API is free, FIX is $100/month.

You can also take a look at MB Trading. Their API is Windows only, however they offer free FIX, which I am using with Ubuntu. Their customer support is very responsive.

I'd never consider MONO which would add another source for errors to ATS.

You would not suggest using MONO to work with a C++ API on linux?
How do you work with FIX w/o receiving quotes?
