Automated Trading

[martsd]

I am looking for code that can automatically trigger buy/sell based on say Moving average crossover - here's an example:

if SMA(x) crosses above SMA(y) - buy
if SMA(x) crosses below SMA(y) - sell

with stop-order = a; trailing stop = b and limit order = c;
Finally - # of lots = # of lots available / 3

That's all.

Did any of you write such code - is it possible to write such code? - please share your thoughts.

You may want to take a look at MCFX. You can code, backtest and execute your strategy directly inside:

Thank you darthfader - however, isn't there a free software that I can use for backtesting - afterall the data is old.

Anything that integrates with FXCM platform would be great.

I had contacted fxcm with similar sma query - they suggested that i use available signal developers if i want to open an account with 300$ balance. if i want such custom signals, i have to deposit $ 10k.

if u have 10k $, fxcm system will configure ur ac for u, i presume. this is as of july 2007.

[FXCM Help]

There are a number of available options for automating such a strategy. The 10K minimum used to be the minimum to host a strategy at the Systems Desk in FXCM to have it executed automatically on your account. The minimums have recently been changed to a minimum of 10m in notional volume per month.

If you would like more information on the services of the FXCM Systems Desk, please contact them at systemtrading@fxcm.com .

Not to insert a shameless plug here, but you can try Hivetrader (www.hivetrader.com) for your testing and historical testing for this. You can also use FX Engines (www.fxengines.com) for live trading on an FXCM account.

Hi,
