Trade Station and Broker integration and 'Easylanguage' programing help!

[Stuet55]

Hi. I am new to Trade Station and I am already a believer in it from what I have seen and read that what it can do, before I go any further, I would like to ask if any Forex Brokers are taking trades from client's Trade Station and if these trade are real time without any flaws, and if there are any issues about, anyone who could help here with Broker's name etc, I would really appreciate that. thanks in advance! I would also like to seek a mentor who can spare some expert advice on Easylanguage programing....please!

You'll need an API in the form of a DLL or ActiveX component to interface to the broker's order entry process.

TS doesn't support trading Forex directly yet. You really should be researching this on the TS forum (need TS subscription), try searching "forex" or "forex api"

from some posts on TS:

Third-party software that can take TradeStation-generated signals and place orders using them with outside firms include NinjaTrader, TradeBolt (no more), TradeItself, HyperTrader and StrategyRunner. ...

I did look into ninja trader for forex trading in TS. I found it cheaper/easier to write everything in C# and use a broker that provides API trading for forex.

I'm reliably informed that FOREX trading is the main new feature of 8.3 which should begin Beta testing by mid-Feb. (07, final not yet out)
