Hi,

I am writing a strategy software in VB.net and now i'm looking for a broker to start dealing with. I'm looking for a broker that provides an API / interface to use from my program. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks and regards,
Omega

u could use MT4 as well, but u'd need to write a C++ DLL <-> .NET DLL bridge.

I thought Ninja Trader used a variant of C#. You could use a code converter to move from VB to C# and then use them

Thanks guys for the replies.

IB API isn't free, and they claim that their own .NET compatable (ActiveX) API is no fully reliable.

MB Trading looks like an option, I will contact them.

Is that all the choices that are available?

Does anyone know if FXCM micro account support their API as well?

Take a look at www.openforexplatform.com if you want to use .Net. I have just started playing around with it. It hooks into MT4 and they are planning on adding other broker platform connections.

The deltastock API seems to be very interesting : have a look :
http://www.deltastock.com/english/pl...rading_api.asp

there are only one strange point : they say :

"The API requires the Delta Trading platform to be up and running, where you can monitor the real-time system actions taken by the AP"

That'is mean that is not a full API which can be manipulate free from their platform ?

Anyway I just had a look to the API functions : and they are very very poor
