Hi neka-nat and 4ever911,

I would also appreciate the implementation of stop (!!!) and limit orders. Similar to 4ever911 I am interested in using your code to run an automated trading system (even when using a loop for price quotes). Still, the ability to add a stop loss when opening a trade is a real must before going from demo to live trading. The risk of loosing connection to the internet and consequently being exposed to unlimited risk is currently given without this feature. If there is anything I can contribute to the development please do not hesitate to let me know although I am not very familiar with C. Thanks again for your great work!!!

+1 for stop/limit order functionality.

Actually there is a fork with such functionality implemented: (https://github.com/aniss/python-forexconnect/commit/1a0c9187e3e679182b6e3f4d88676609d393631a) But it is fork from the previous version of forexconnect - so merging to back requires some effort.
