AnchorTrend Scanner - Installation Guide

Connect to a Data Source

To use the AnchorTrend Scanner, you must first connect to a Forex data source.  Currently OANDA and FXCM APIs are supported.  You may purchase the FXCM API Plugin here.

Activate an OANDA API Token

OANDA API Tokens may be activated online through OANDA's website with your live or demo account.
  1.  Sign In to your Oanda Account:  https://www.oanda.com/account/login
    (user names and passwords are case sensitive)
  2. From your account page, select Manage API Access: https://fxtrade.oanda.ca/demo-account/tpa/personal_token
    (As of this article date, only one API token is allowed per user account at a time)
  3. Select the Generate button to create your API key. Your key will be generated and displayed for you.
    The key is only displayed to you once. Be sure to copy [Ctrl+C] and store it securely. You will need to enter this into the AnchorTrend Scanner settings.



  4. Return to your account page and select Manage Funds.
    Copy [Ctrl+C] your Primary v20 Account Number and store it securely. You will enter this into the AnchorTrend Scanner data setup.
