FOREX datafeeds for Neo

[michal.kreslik]

Hello,

Someone asked me about FOREX datafeeds for Neo. I am feeding realtime FOREX data from FXCM and EFX group to Neo and it works ok. First you have to download the appropriate order interface from

http://www.tickquest.com/NeoTicker/neotickercust/

and install it.

You will find the appropriate executables under the "Order Server Plug-ins Downloads" section, currently there is:

• MB Trading Order Server 3.6 for MB Trading/EFX group
• FXCM Order Server 1.1 for FXCM

Both the above mentioned providers are forex brokers. I haven't tried the other order interfaces yet.

Of course, before connecting Neo to the broker's data feed, you first need an account with the broker. Both brokers offer free demo accounts:

• EFX: http://www.efxgroup.com/demo.asp
  
• FXCM: http://www.fxcm.com/open-free-100k.jsp

Upon instaling the order interface, you go to "Program > Server Setup" menu in Neo and pick the appropriate order server (either "MB Trading brokerage" or "FXCM brokerage") and off you go
