If for example I want to use a trade alert function within a 3rd party program to execute a trade at FXCM, and the alert function has the ability to run any .exe or batch file, then can you please tell me what I need in terms of software or scripts I need to do that?
For example:
3rd party program says BUY, It then kicks off a batch file called BUY.cmd
Then what do I need to include in that Batch file to do the trade? an example configuration file would be useful. For now we can just assume a static lot size of 5 and say a 20 pip stoploss and a limit order of 50
I already have the forex api installed, do i need anything else installed
thanks, Chimpy
