MT4 to FIX Api

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.

I use an EA on MT4 and transfer the Trades via JforexAPI to e.g. dukascopy

whats the latency on the execution with that setup?

i dont see any latency. Sometimes I get a better entry than with MT4.

maybe your now using a good broker then, i have heard max 20ms trade execution from other using it...

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.

Hi guys,

there is a tool I recently bought to copy trades MT4 to fix API.

I promised not to give feedback about the tool in case thae refund my purchase.(doing it right now)

I can just say it could be great tool in case they fix the code.

thanks for the feed back on this guys.
