I forward this query to a friend (not subscribed to ilugd list) who has experience in this domain, and following is his reply: - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- As for as my knowledge and exposure is concerned none of the Indian and, or foreign brokers provide a native Linux based trading client; though there are some based java VM, but I tested and, or used TWS (Trade WorkStation) from Interactive Brokers only, which is too primitive or does not have even the very basic features a modern traders needs. Nothing is perfect in this world, not even the God, hence I had been struggling with whatever the brokers provide. I sent requests to many Indian brokers join hands for developing a F/OSS TC (Trading Client) based in an industry standard FIX protocol around 3-4 years ago, but none bothered to care and, or provide information or API (Application Programming Interface) for their servers. If we leave aside, trading terminal part, we have a nice native Technical Analysis platform developed on and for Linux and Unix-like systems, please check http://qtstalker.sourceforge.net/ for further details. I also maintain a personalized copy, repository, ports and, or builds of the same which can accessed at http://anu.homelinux.net/ports#qtstalker-devel, http://anu.homelinux.net/usr/ports/finance/qtstalker-devel/ChangeLog, http://anu.homelinux.net/ports and http://anu.homelinux.net/pub/Debian/ links. see also http://werc.homelinux.net/photos/wow/SnapShot12#main-img and http://werc.homelinux.net/photos/wow/SnapShot14#main-img (please click the thumbnails to view full size snapshots). IMHO, the truth is that most of the programmers are not traders and the traders don't have or can't find time to learn programming. - -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman (http://werc.homelinux.net/contact/) - --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- HTH - -- Ashish SHUKLA “When two trains approach each other at a crossing, both shall come to a full stop and neither shall start up again until the other has gone.” (Kansas State Legislature) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJOlkFLAAoJEMdGz6nnT6SwhZEP/jd/M0AvsBMIoTKLAw+cLl0k eN2mmjZsnlrF9wqJPwn2JHR4t+8Jx5Krl44iQXcnmktYOdojtWdQMa2X6eXnrxqE RkVMWTs7tcGEwDERTbgn7rdzvW0aIZJcuTEVD4yeVj97qQVgpprP5z/M1hdGXgJ8 PuYVED1ChfAw6yBg3pgOYYZl+C/n9AvX+CpFI5/Z6u3tuZtsTcKIbl9iiYPMDNLO aPC981B+q5f7sL4Nj+82ZFb619nY/bi8DWod3qMxyyxwXQ4+w3PkxaCAwIQcPy7W Jny+lGQODQGM6n3g8Xz83U1bQ29+PH4HN6xr+k7qE4ncvJs4CAiE+JG4Vit9iS0l wNddsHFCLI8z9HHfzmRdZyr2LIMqqv+2cgWmrQ9MGb+3YzlskSgmApy/eNHpFRNd xP+VttVlDr6qVEGhd3wetmk3EKQLwtI9088QBRjh+gkAR3Yo6ep/8qUPkePYnmrY GPQUMYv6rMyn4PxWK41Cco6Q7Hl12dwDDkYG/XkISffQt1tYoPvE695CHifnAxGv WMK4siVJWWnTPDnQOlWT8lHOIcJxQkPbDy0ArusnOgRdzWsPS28MEQGoFByMAMv0 hSzBxN9pJiM37LqCN3VGXWBPml6zIjMylx776UyD8ov8eoxkcYRobWM/zM5BlNlS 206bMZG+Bl6OZq+zOK1e =zJyS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
