what is the procedure for getting something like Fidelity into MT to be able to trade...like I have with Atrade in QT. Do you? or we? ask them?

 

I assume at some point you will have a trading feature, no?

We need access to the broker's API for that to happen. That can mean that the broker has a public API or we get the broker's cooperation.  In the case of fidelity, we asked for cooperation a number of times when we were doing QT, but never got it. Things may change.  Who asks for it isn't that important. If you ask them to cooperate and they contact us, we certainly will work with them.

My contact (daughter) has left Fido to go work at the Mutual Fund Assoc, so my good contact is no more. Will hafta leave it to you

[Jerry Medved 353]

maybe she knows WHO to contact?

[vireya 8]

I will ask but she left there around 2001

Now her clients are the directors of mutual funds which are members of the org

 

so she may be outa the loop

Please see if VirtualBrokers (Canada) is willing to give MT trading access.

 

Thank you.

VirtualBrokers - They don't have a public API, but looks like they use something we dealt with in QT. Would have to look at this later.
