Forex programming services can be a little hard to find.
In my experience, even the most thorough online searches do not uncover very many results when it comes to finding services that will help you create custom indicators, scripts or Expert Advisors (EA) for trading/charting platforms such as Metatrader.
So I decided to scratch my own itch and created this list of companies that do Forex programming.
This is a free directory, where anyone can request to be on the list.
It is your responsibility to do your own due diligence and figure out what is best for you.
