We do not foresee, any time soon, probably not until the end of the year we might consider adding support for another trading service.

Yesterday we were contacted by Oanda. Below is the communication from them and the response from us:


While we certainly have a general interest in this, really it is at a point now for us, where it is not even feasible for us to be supporting any new trading services just due to the difficulty of supporting so many different implementations.

This is why we have started an initiative to establish an open specification communication protocol for this industry. Please have a look at this website:
http://www.dtcprotocol.org/

You need to ask yourself, why is it that we would integrate to your API rather that you integrating to an open specification protocol. Generally the answer is you are a much larger organization and you have more influence.

However, it should not be looked at that way.

The best approach is that there is a neutral open specification protocol that exists in this industry, that each side supports.


Therefore, we ask that you join us in an effort to establish this protocol.

I also want to point out that Sierra Chart is not only charting, but it provides advanced trading functionality as well.

> Hi,
> Would you be interested in integrating your charting platform with OANDA? We have recently released a new API (developer.oanda.com) and will be removing our fees previously applicable to any API users. We have launched a partner program along with a marketplace (marketplace.oanda.com) where we plan to showcase partners who have integrated with our API.
