This is INSANE!
The amount of work a retail trader should do...
and the hoops he has to jump
and the mouths he has to feed...
just to get the extreme basics of trading API such as: place/modify/cancel...
THIS JUST INSANE.
From technical point of view, all it takes is HTTPS post request to get the job done.
The amount of obfuscation of APIs, unnecessary plugins, worthless bridges between multiple programs, reverse engineering com apis, blah blah...
OMG...
All a retail trader needs is access to API and 1 sec tick data of Nifty or BNF...
just to get those basic needs solved...
man... this system is insanely obfuscated to extract money from customers without providing any actual value in return. Just releasing simple HTTPS APIs will ensure
dozens of hundreds of open source developers releasing quality code around APIs..
(like we have for IB and other brokers for foreign exchanges)...
Exchanges, legal bullshit and intermediate licensing bullshit... everyone is *ARTIFICIALLY* holding back retail traders... without providing any real value
for the money they milk from them....
just wanted to get this out of my heart!
