I am having a hard time getting eSignal to tell me exactly what kind of data they give for Hotspot! Has anyone used them to collect data that can tell me if the historical data in 1 minute time has OHLC for both the bid a ask prices?

anyone using Hotspot fx (europe) ? Is it down at the moment..? 0 replies
DislikedIf you want to do automated trading via the api and require historic data, you need the api for the new european client platform (the java/fix api doesnt have history at all). Thats a bit complicated. You will have to sign a NDA beforehand, then they will set up a certification environment for you on a test server, then after you are finnished programming your application you will have to pass an 'UAT' (user acceptability test), then, if you are successful, you can go live. There is an visual c++ example application and rudimentary documentation of the api messages.
If you want to do this, i would try to squeeze out a contact from their tech department, i found it quite hard to get competent answers from their 'normal' support people, apparently they are not trained to deal with api issues and dont really know what they are talking about (apart from the standard answers), but are reluctant/not allowed to give out a direct contact to the tech people.Ignored
