Hey, I am also building a python algo using oanda, you posted that you factored in spread. The current wrapper doesnt seem to get the current live spread. How were you able to get the spread? Thanks!
Hello. The spread is just the difference between the bid and ask, so I just calculate it and that result gets checked up to a table that I have with acceptable spreads
hi, hope everything good for you! I saw your responses in a lot of post and saw that you are doing algo trading with python on the forex market. I'm currently learning python and i was wondering what would be you biggest tips for someone who start in this field. I've been trading manually for the past 2 year and i got a hard time coming up with strategy to test. Do you have some tips on that too? Thank you in advance
Hello. Have you seen the examples here: https://github.com/hootnot/oandapyV20-examples When I started, I just started out creating a silly trading robot that checked moving averages, and traded based on that. Obviously it doesn't work. But that doesn't matter. Then I just expanded and expanded until I had something that worked. So just find some simple strategy and build it to get started
