Anyone here did this? changed their EA from MT4 and went with a broker that offers FIX Api? Just looking for some feedback. Good or bad.

Man, I've looked at FIX a few times, but never gone that route. Unless you're trying to do HFT I don't see the point really. FIX is very limited in what it can do. If it's speed you're after then it has to be FIX, but unless you're into very high speed stuff there is really no point.

I'm running the Java API on Oanda and they have the new REST API. Both are fast. Hard to imagine you'd need more than that.

MT is slow. Just a fact of life, but as retail traders I can't really see a situation where MT isn't fast enough. And MQL just has so many functions written already, just so much easier to use...

Just as a footnote, as far as I understand it you can send html requests from MT, meaning you can use it with the REST API.
