Another sales question I was advised to post here.
Right now, Wealth-Lab is weak on connectors to FX/CFD brokers.
CTrader brokers offer all their clients a free connection to the Spotware OpenAPI.
This is a full-featured Websocket/Protobufs-based .Net API. Spotware have open sourced a very nice C# wrapper, with fairly decent docs.
Many of the most popular FX/CFD brokers offer CTrader, including IC Markets, Peppersone and FXPro, plus a number of well-rated prop firms. So adding a connector might open up a new market with serious FX algo traders. Because I can tell you from experience that the MT and CTrader backtesters are pretty broken.
Given the C# wrapper, I'd imagine that anyone familiar with the Wealth-Lab API could knock this out pretty quickly. Would the dev team be open to this?
Failing that, how much work would be involved if I did this myself? I'm comfortable with C# but obviously a total newbie with WL.

You already noticed we're not really focused on FX/CFD, however our Interactive Broker Privder (IB) handles those markets just fine and Medved Trader may offer more.
We're a small team and diligently work add new features (over 300 done) voted up by our customers. I'll mark this as a feature request to add to that list.

IB isn't practical for me.
What would be involved in writing the connector myself?

Then you'd understand that creating/supporting a new broker/data provider for every new customer isn't practical for us either.

To obtain historical data from a broker you could also implement a Historical Provider, and likewise a Streaming Provider for streaming data. All these are documented in the Extension API guide, and usually a broker implementation has all three.
