For those of us, who trade currencies and gld, slv... Oanda is a good alternative to IB, as they offer smallest trade sizes despite of small spreads. And they offer an API, which is (despite of the initial deposit) almost free if certain traing volumes are achieved.
Unfortunately I`m not a programmer, can`t even judge or guess the amount of work involved in getting AB to work mith Oanda. Oanda offers detailed information and docs on this API at http://fxtrade.oanda.com/forex_trading/fxtrade/api_trading.shtml Could someone -more educated than me- give me his insights? Thanks frankphd_us
