We are existing clients of [login to view URL], and would like to connect to the trading platform using their Java based API service. The goal is to replicate some of the functions of their downloadable trading program so we can directly execute trades from our own, yet to be designed, “front-end?? system.
All the necessary documentation and a sample testing program have been supplied by hotspot that can aid in the design of this middleware program. I am an intermediate vb programmer at best, who is in the process of learning Java. Along with the program, please realize I will ask a lot of questions. Soon after completion this can lead to more projects as well.
The project will be complete when I feel comfortable enough with the Java code that I can execute trades and receive conformation messages from hotspots API service. I will then in turn customize it to fit my other existing systems. Overall program should be rather easy for a programmer verse in Java.
