Hi guys! I'm planning to make a Web application so I can check my positions, or even close some of them. I found 2 possibilities:
- Using Zen-Fire API directly
- Using Ninja Trader API
The former is possible, since Zen-Fire released their API to the public for free. But the problem is that you are tied to Zen-Fire, and cannot use TT. Zen-Fire API is also more powerfull than Ninja Trader API.
The Ninja Trader API is a little bit modest comparing to Zen-Fire API, but for just reading my account positions and close some of them eventually, this is enough.
The questions are:
- Has anybody done a Web application like this?
- If I deploy this application in a web hosting, would it block my app connections to Zen-Fire?
- Is it possible to use just the Ninja Trader DLL in my Web application, without having the Ninja Trader software installed in the machine?

Hi Guilherme,
Quite an ambitious project, I like it.
I have no experience in what you're trying to accomplish, except for some experience with web hosting. Your host should not block the traffic, even on non-standard ports there should be no reason it would be blocked. If they do, you need to find a better host.
Sorry, it's maybe a bit off-topic, but I've something like this with the IB API, in Java.
And with this API, it's very very easy...
I didn't find the a Zen-Fire API link, can you give us a link 6qat ?
Thanx for sharing the example. Is there no java api ...
i think java is easier to use ... you need only a servlet container, the api and some own created servlets ... put togehter with a database and apache and ssl and you can use on any plattform
