In search of a good trading API other than TT

E

Edo

Hi folks:
I have an algorithm that is a little more complicated than average so cannot use standard Windows trading clients that have simple GUIs for Algorithms... so have been coding to the TT-API in .Net for over a year. I am ready to prime-time but am finding the Trading Technologies' TT-API lacking in some areas, especially in their testing environment.

All I need to do is get a price-feed, and have the ability to place simple orders, Market / Limit / Stop. No spreads etc. Mostly futures.

I am more than willing to port my code if the target platform is rock-solid.

I heard Gain Capital has an API. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

THANK YOU!. I just called them (I guess they got acquired by EZE Software). Looking into it. Thanks for the pointer. I also found Rithmic... if anyone has feedback on them :)
 
Let me know if I can help with Real tick.

We also offer a number of others including TT, CTS and Rithmic. CQG no longer offer their API for retail clients.

You can run ttsim for testing.
 
Nope. Not supported. TT-Sim is for X-Trader, not the API. Even their sample code fails using TT-Sim. 'Been on many phone calls with them on this issue. Not supported.
