Hello,

I am developing a custom trading plataform for Forex and I need this:
1. Historical Data.
2. Real Time Feed.
3. API to send trades.

I know $600/Month Oanda's Plataform. Way to expensive.
I know Metatrader API. Uses mostly Russian brokers. I don't know if they are any good.

Problem: I believe using a datafeed different from the broker where i place my orders is not a good option because of data differences. Mayeb I am wrong. What do you think.

Anyway, can help me out with this?

I am in that moment when i am starting to create the automatic trading in my plataform so i need to take some decisions about it and choose a broker.

Thank You Very Much,
Miguel

An excellent US broker using Metatrader is www. interbank fx. com (remove the spaces) I have a live account with them.

How familiar are you with programming languages like VB or C++?
I have developed a system that works with FXCM and uses VB for automation/execution and C++ for processing data.
Perhaps I could give you some pointers if needed.
