Hi.
I'm a fairly seasoned programmer, and am looking into creating an automated trading system, primarily for fun, but perhaps as a moneymaker later on if everything works out. I'm currently looking for an API to use for this purpose.
In order to develop strategies/run simulations, the API must have a free, no obligation demo mode, as this is what I'd be using for the foreseeable future.
In the event that everything did work out and long term simulations proved successful, I would be able to invest no more than somewhere around 10k GBP to start, so no suggestions with 100k minimum deposits please
If possible, I'd like to write my own application and call methods from a public API rather than use a scripting system within a pre-existing application, but that all depends on what's available really.
I'd also like some pointers on data feeds/historical data etc too.
So does anything fit my requirements? I'm completely new to this so if anyone can spot anything obvious I'm not considering, please point it out
