Regarding FXCM Values

[dbnya]

Hi
Using E- signal API i want to get latest currency values.

Present i get only 6 currency values(AUD, JPY, CHF, CAD, EUR, GBP) only by using this method.
IESignal.BasicQuote bqGBP = esignal.get_GetBasicQuote("EUR@FXCM A0-FX");

I want to get more currency values, is my approach is correct to get values? if correct some other currency values are not come why? ex-"INR" or is there another way to get the currency values?. Here i have another problem also when i run the "sample Quote window" then only i get currency values otherwise all values comes as 0.0.

Whats the problem.Please give reply ASAP.

Thanks & Regards
dbnya

See the following two KB articles regarding Forex symbology and currency codes.

For quotes on individual Forex contributor (i.e. FXCM), you need to consult with them to find out if they actually contribute to a particular currency or currency cross pair.

Anthony, can you please clarify. I currently get all quotes from contributers via eSignal. Why/is there a difference to make a call for the same information via API? Thank you,
Natalie

Are you saying that for the same Forex symbol, you get data from the eSignal application but you get zero when using the getbasicquote method from the desktop API? Can you tell us one of these symbols?

I understand that you wrote an application using the Desktop API to obtain real-time data for Forex symbols, is this correct?
