I'm brand new to openecry. I'm trying to get a look at the API to see if it will do what I am looking to do, etc. etc. Is there a sort of roadmap document somewhere that I missing?

I see a number of api downloads, and the api documentation. But the api documentation is the low level api call signatures etc. I need some type of high level "roadmap" to tell me what the big pieces are, what they can do etc., etc. Something like an architecture diagram for example?

Specifics:

On the Software download page I see two links to download:

1) Oec Trader API. - This is an .exe. When I run it it launches what appears to be a demo OEC platform,chart,dom. What does this have to do with the API?

2) Demo - Also a .exe but how is this one different from the .exe in 1)?

Ok next questions on the API Documentation page I see several download links:

1) View API Docs - low level call sig documentation - ok.
2) Compiled API docs - ok.
3) Basic API Example - Ok this looks like a c# example. Fine.
4) Advanced API Example - This looks like another c# example.
5) API Com interface and
6) API Com interfact no samples

It would be really nice if you could provide at least a brief description of each of these things.

Thanks

basically, OEC API intended for development of custom trading software - it allows sending orders and receiving price quotes.

there's an article about OEC API design located in the API documentation (see OECClient class page).

OEC Trader API provided as a reference client for software developers - it works with dedicated development server only.
