I searched through the forum, tried Forex.com's help, and haven't been able to connect all the dots so hoping for some help. Here's my situation. I am from the US and used FXCM's platform for my custom automated trading strategy, trading Spot FX. I'm now with Forex.com (who's parent is Gain Capital). It seems you guys support Gain's trading service, but i couldn't get a clear answer if Forex.com's 'API' is the same as Gain's trading service. https://www.forex.com/en-us/services/trading-platforms/api-trading. My questions are: 1. Is Forex.com's 'API' the same as Gain Capital's trading service? In other words, if i got access to Forex.com's API, would i then be able to make trades with Sierra Chart through that broker? 2. A post mentioned 'technical issues' with Gain Capital. What kind of issues are these and how serious are they? Would they have a big impact for automated trading? Trading spot FX via Sierra Chart 3. If Forex.com will not work, what other options do I have as a US customer to trade spot FX with your software? Ameritrade is way too expensive, are you guys working on Oanda integration? Thanks!
