Spotware Connect is under development now. So please track the online doc updates. New features are going to be delivered soon.
Specific questions:
1) What are the order execution protocols - will this employ LP "last looks" as MT4 does? There is no point having fast execution if LP's can pull their orders.
We use Protobuf based protocol for SSL stateful connections and JSON based HTTPS protocol for stateless requests. You can find details in the draft (see above)
2) Will Connect be an add-on to cTrader/cAlgo - or will it be a stand alone UI?
No, it is standalone online service.
3) Will it provide the ability to customise the cTrader platform?
No, currently we don't have plans to let customizations.
4) What order information is blind to the server/LP/PB - will they see account numbers, SL, TP?
All the info will be available with the API. See the documentation for details.
5) Will it provide flexibility to customise execution rules? eg. remove SL cancellation if inside Spread? Streamline execution code?
That will be provided fully functional trading API within Spotware Connect API. So you will be able to do anything you want with execution of your orders, amendments of protections, etc.
6) Will there be access to institutional level liquidity?
If you mean L2 prices, so yes that will be available with the API.
7) Will there be the ability to trade multiple brokers from the one platform at the same time?
Yes, you will be able to get access to different accounts of different brokers. Currently it is already supported. See the API reference.
8) Will there be the ability for a syndicate to create a Broker account with their own broker server and deal direct with LP's?
No. We will not have such a functionality within Connect API. To get access to those services you have to ask brokers directly for that.
Thanks,
A
Could you advise how one goes about getting UAT credentials to test the Connect API?
Also more importantly is Connect already live in production with all brokers supporting cTrader?
