I have IB, and IB-Gar Wood, and was told that IB-Gar Wood specifically does *NOT* allow forex trading. It has to be done directly with IB only. I was told the reason: Nirvana does all the coding, and does not have the forex coding on its near or intermediate term radar . . . meaning it is not going to happen for quite a while, if ever.

Thank you very much, Barry, for the clarification.

I called Gar Wood and was told the following:

1. Gar Wood *does* allow forex trades, just not with Nirvana, yet.
2. The fellow thought that it had nothing to do with anything on the Gar Wood side of things.
3. He was pretty sure that it was all up to the Nirvana development team to make the necessary software updates to the FIX server to allow forex trades to be executed.

So a couple of questions come to mind:
Q1 Is this correct?
Q2 Is the development team actively preparing the software updates to allow forex trades on the fix server? Or is this on the "back burner"?

1. Yes that is correct.
2. There isn't any active development being done to get FX working on our FIX server, but I wouldn't count it out. I'm hopeful that we'll get to it.
