OandaWrap: Php API interface

volpunter · Dec 14, 2014

Sure, I connect via a semi PB, lcgfx, lmax, and IB. All of which allow execution at the most competitive spreads. All provide very good connectivity either via FIX or multi-language API hooks. If you are serious about currency trading and especially want to algorithmically trade then I highly recommend you to consider brokers that enable access to competitive markets WITHOUT spread mark-up. (Oanda significantly marks up the spread).

When I was looking for a new broker, I did a collective comparison sweep of more than 50. While IB was superior in pricing I was looking for a specific broker for a specific function. Oanda has fit that function very well.

Have you investigated this yourself? I have found the data feed with very few latency problems, and very easy to code for. Might I ask Volpunter, with which broker(s) you have an account, if any?

Do you use these for separate purposes or to diversify and protect your capital?

both, but mainly some I utilize for higher frequency strategies focused on currencies, only, while via IB I run mainly mid-frequency strategies and a several discretionary books.

what a poorly written lib, probably written by another college kid who recently discovered PHP

Any constructive criticism, or just run of the mill internet trolling?
