Connecting IG subscribers to new trading bot


Speedbird168l

Question

Hope someone can help. I have invested in the developing of a trading bot which I would like to offer to IG clients as a subscriber-based service. It is a stand-alone running a script via the IG API, not a plugin to Meta Trader or downloadable application. To connect it will require clients to provide their usernames and password for API key retrieval and connection. I would imagine this will be problematic. Is there another way to onboard/connect subscribers who want to make use of the service?

Be careful, @Speedbird168l. Most jurisdictions (countries) require certification and/or licensing order to provide live trading advice, and direct control over trading others' capital is beyond mere advice.

The US NFA, UK FCA, and EU EFPA all hunt down illegal advisers and brokers. This is why Metaquotes clearly states that all mql5 Market products are for demo trading only, and MT4 and MT5 allow client side switching between demo and live accounts. They walk a fine line but its within a legal loophole.

As most broker-dealers maintain distinctly different action requests for live API access versus demo API access, and if you handle the type of action request for other traders' accounts, this would be risky at best.

The mql5 Market supports a Signals Service, again for "demo purposes." You could register as a Seller there, and pipe your script's actions into MT4 via a bridge (say, via Python), code a system library within MT4 to directly connect your script to MT4, or embed your script into a MT4 Expert Advisor.

Of course, all of this assumes that you're not already certified/licensed.

Check with your programmer if they're capable to make it possible within trading bot. I've been messaging one guy while back on fiverr or upwork who said that he can make it happen. I didn't go into details with him as it was beyond the scope of what I was looking for back then.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
