FXCM broker implementation
-
Hi all,
Firstly, this framework is phenomenal. Congrats to the creators and the community for building such a great framework.
I'm hoping to use this to back test and trade with the FXCM api, through the fxcmpy python package.
Has anyone had experience with this?
I was wondering if there is an implementation of this broker yet, or if someone was kind enough to share / release their code? I'm hoping to reduce implementation time and not recreate the wheel if possible.
I'm happy to also review responses for input into where I would start to go about building such an 'add on' for backtrader.
Cheers

@michaelhazza there seems no implementation available. You can look at the oanda implementation on how to do this.
also oanda v20 implementation: https://github.com/ftomassetti/backtrader-oandav20 -

the cudos should go to @backtrader, its his project and most of the valuable helps came from him.
for the store:
-important parts are feed and data from your provider
-sending orders, also bracket_orders, when not executed, cancel connected orders
-account info and existing orders, how to handle them -
Hi, did you start or even finished your FXCM implementation? I just started to look into this topic a little, but i am lacking a bit of information on what functions need to be provided by the different classes and what are the expected return values for backtrader to work.
