External socket API for Java / C++
15 Oct 2012, 23:21


hi guys; just had a chance to demo the cTrader platform. it is great; and user friendly.


is there an API to connect to cAlgo or cTrader from external apps; such as Java or C++?

i have a legacy algo app that I need to keep running for the moment; while exploring the new platform.

 

thanks.

This is beyond our scope at the moment but you may implement such functionality with cAlgo using the System.NET namespace.

Great. is it possible to interface cAlgo with custom .NET DLLs? i.e. I am interested to write a TCP/IP comms so I can send orders through.
 
also; can I access existing .NET libraries installed in the PC?

Yes, it is possible to interface custom dll's (add reference).

At the moment access to .NET libraries is limited to a certain subset. An update is comming soon that enables accessibility to other libraries.

I am trying to interact with dll made under matlab, it does not work. so now I know why..... I will be waiting for the next update of your platform. 

but since you work under .net, you should give a full access to .net dll to cAlgo, really. 

Thank you

Which namespace are your refering to? System.Net is accessible right now.
