It would be better to hook up with ctrader. Available at 15 brokers at the moment including few of world's largest Tier 1, 'Grade A' ECN brokers i.e. ICmarkets, Fxpro, Pepperstone. Ctrader offer standardised api and FIX connection. https://spotware.com/featured-ctrader-brokers/

Quantower has them already, and they dont even support all the difficult connections like Rithmic like Sierra yet. So I reckon it would be perhaps not hard.

Oanda is just a single market maker broker with large spreads. Not suited for day traders, primary customers of Sierra Chart.


Thanks for the post, Quantower looks interesting.

Yes Oanda is a MM with poor spreads, but even still they're just on average 1pt worse than LMAX as far as I've observed, and of course, no commission. Plus they have implemented overnight hours on their DAX CFD, unlike LMAX. Another benefit would be not having to deal with LMAX anymore.

I trade intraday, and though I'd miss the tighter spread I don't need it, I'm not scalping.
