FXCM-TradingStation-Strategies

Overview

Summary

Repository contains one (1) trading strategy and three (3) non-trading strategies written in Lua and intended to be executed using FXCM Trading Station; all three were originally created as proof of concepts. FXCM Trading Station is a financial trading application written for Windows that can leverage scripts written in Lua (and JavaScript) via Indicore SDK to further extend functionality.

Investment Dashboard

Proof of concept to calculate and aggregate select values from user specified FXCM, Oanda and/or Robinhood account(s). Currently includes equity, day p/l and leverage though modifying or adding additional data points is trivial. Oanda and Robinhood data is sourced via RESTful API queries. (Requires JSON.lua.)

Hue Lights Control

Proof of concept to control Philips Hue Lights based on trading activity.

FXCM To Oanda Trade Copier

Designed to copy postion(s) from an FXCM account to an Oanda account. FXCM positions are sourced from FXCM Trading Station directly and Oanda positions verified and modified via RESTful API queries. (Requires JSON.lua.)

Push Notifications

Proof of concept to facilitate of push notifications for trading, account and offer activity.
