Forex trading with functional programming

[Janzo]

Hello everybody:

Let me apologize in advance for my poor English.

I'm looking for information about how to program a forex trading
system with scheme. Any idea or link you could give me?

Thanks

API was just the word, but I didn't realize, I'm not perfect all the
time dude, anyway thanks for your "very nice" reply, oh you clever
mind.

I imagine you'd to start with bindings for an API for accessing
market feeds. Such as:

More specific information about what you're trying to do would probably
help.

Thanks Mike
I found this, exactly what I was searching :)
http://fxtrade.oanda.com/forex_trading/fxtrade/api_trading.shtml

But, the API is written in C++, I think I can wrap it with Lisp...
specifically: I want make the trading system (wich makes the
computations about what to do: buy, shell, wait...) in Lisp, and once
decided what to do use the C++ API (wrapped in Lisp??). I have to
learn how to do this with scheme :)

What you probably want to do is to hook into into the C++
functionality via a Foreign Function Interface (FFI).

See the following page for a pretty thorough survey of the issues and
how various language implementations handled them circa 2004.

You could also use Google to do further searching, although I'm not
sure that the results that yields are superior to simply searching for
FFI in the user manuals for your favorite Scheme implementation(s).
