Python

You should have installed either Anaconda or Miniconda.

If you do not have a Python installation/environment with the core scientific packages, do on the shell do:

conda create -n odsc python=3.6 jupyter pandas nomkl scikit-learn matplotlib
conda activate odsc

In any case do the following to install the fxcmpy package:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install fxcmpy

FXCM

You should open a demo account under

https://www.fxcm.com/uk/forex-trading-demo/

The documentation for fxcmpy is found under

http://fxcmpy.tpq.io

You should generate a token in your account under Token Management.

Create your working folder where you put in all subsequently created files.

Then create a configuration file with name fxcm.cfg and the following content:

[FXCM]
log_level = error
log_file = 'fxcm.log'
access_token = YOUR_FXCM_API_TOKEN
