Forex API / Automated Trading

For traders interested in utilizing an automated trading system or developing their own black box strategy for forex API, FOREXTE.com supports fully automated trade execution via a proprietary forex API.

The forex API provides users with the ability to receive a real-time forex API rate feed, submit trade requests, set and modify stop-loss and take-profit orders, and receive forex API automated confirmations of trade activity.

For qualified users wanting our forex API, we provide a testing environment that enables developers to "paper trade" and test their systems in real time before using the API in a production environment with actual funds.

Forex API is a true standard based XML forex API interface that can be programmed in any network accessible language, from Perl-script to C++, Excel Macro to VB.NET managed code. The Forex API is comprised of two separate forex API technologies:

1. Forex API Rate Data Interface

Forex API rate data represents the tradable prices published to the client. For this role we use a direct TCP/IP socket interface to the price publication system. To assist with programming the forex API in Visual Studio.NET and JAVA, we provide native components that handle the connection and link management. Each component creates events through delegates or call backs as appropriate.

2. Forex API Trading Functions

The API trading functions are initiated by the client in the form of a request. This logic is implemented using Web Services; an XML based SOAP interface that uses HTTP as its transport. Web Services have become the de-facto B2B protocol of choice through their ease of use and cross-platform portability.

For those clients looking to automate their Forex API strategy signals generated from scripting languages such as eSignal's Formula Script, please let us know.

The forex API is available free-of-charge to FOREXTE.com live trading clients. We allow interested parties to register and access our forex API in the form below. Qualified developers have the ability to test the forex API with no up front monetary investment.
