market outlook via api of some sort?讨论

i think that it would be nice if the market outlook information were accessible in a computer readable format.

and i really think that all of that rss stuff is cute and all, but it is really beyond the average joe lunch box trader's capabilities.

in one of your api examples, it shows a typical response of:

{
     'error': false,
     'message': '',
     'accounts': [
        {
       'id': 12345,
       'name': 'Holy Grail',
       'description': 'Super duper MA+CCI trading system.',
       'accountId': 1013230,
       'gain': 8.92,
       'absGain': 8.92,
       'daily': '0.04',
       'monthly': '1.25',
       'withdrawals': 0,
       'deposits': 10000,
       'interest': 11.1,
       'profit': 892.45,
       'balance': 10892.45,
       'drawdown': 53.53,
       'equity': 10892.45,
       'equityPercent': 100,
       'demo': true,

       'firstTradeDate': '04/21/2008 12:18',
       'tracking': 21,
       'views': 549,
       'server': {
        'name': 'Alpari UK'
       }
      }
     ]
    }


seriously, most traders do not have the ability to read that.

the above information could as easily have been served up as a simple tab delimited file.

even elkart was baffled by it all.

peace.

btw, i am working on a new kind of arbitrage.

i sure hope that i am finished.

this project has been going on for seven years now for me.

the oanda forum kicked me out for something like the 50th time and rightfully so..

i terrorized that forum.

they blocked my ip addresses.

when i decide that i want back in, i will write my own proxy server software, custom written to access the oanda forum.

and then i will just install it on any ten dollar per month php hosting server anywhere in the world.

no more blocked ip addresses.

it is my job as a software engineer to push buttons.
