Oanda EFS Orders

[bugscoe]

Will Oanda be able to accept orders via EFS files?

i guess this isn't possible. i tried to contact an online agent last night and after i told them that this post has zero replies the agent ended the conversation.

You are already able to place orders to Oanda through EFS.
We're reviewing the Oanda integration for enhancements, but don't have a schedule yet.

how do i place an order through efs? is there a code example? i thought that was what the original post was about, but there were no replies in a year. do i use the generic broker functions? and will this work with forex purchases as well?

This definitely should work with forex symbols.

BTW, Oanda integration improvements scheduled on the mid Feb.

Forget to mention that Oanda set up instruction is a bit outdated, but works in general.

Here's the latest Oanda plugin.

It should work with 8 and 10 version of eSignal.
