async_v20 6.2.1b1

Asynchronous wrapper for OANDA's v20 REST API

async_v20: Asynchronous OANDA v20 client

A foreign exchange client

Documentation

http://async-v20.readthedocs.io/

Disclaimer

• Losses can exceed investment.

• async_v20 and its creator has no affiliation with OANDA. And is not endorsed by OANDA in any manner.

• async_v20 is in Beta stage and has not been tested on a live OANDA account

• Use at own risk

Features

• Exposes the entire v20 API

• No *args, **kwargs In client methods. Therefore no need to guess what arguments a method takes

• Serialize objects directly into pandas Series or DataFrame objects

• Construct concurrent trading algorithms

installation

REQUIRES:

python >= 3.6

https://www.python.org/

$ pip install async_v20

async_v20 is built with aiohttp. It is therefore recommended to also install cchardet and aiodns as per aiohttp documentation

$ pip install cchardet

$ pip install aiodns

Why async_v20?

There are many OANDA clients for python already available so why create another? The main driver for creating async_v20 was to facilitate better risk management, by allowing user’s to concurrently monitor account status and trade currency’s.

An unintended consequence of async_v20 is the ability to create clear segregation between implementation ideas.

A simple example might contain a coroutine for the following:

• Monitoring overall account status

• Watching price stream and triggering buy/sell signals

• Monitoring individual trades and closing movements against held positions

A synchronous implementation would require considerable effort to determine which task communicates with the server next. async_v20 removes this burden by using aiohttp

Further goals of async_v20 has been to lower the barrier of entry for algorithmic trading by providing a complete and simple to use interface.

Getting started

Creating an Account

To use async_v20 you must have an account with OANDA

• Create an account

  https://www.oanda.com/account/login

• Create an API token

  https://www.oanda.com/demo-account/tpa/personal_token

Setting up environment

• Install async_v20 as per installation

• Create a new environment variable with the name ‘OANDA_TOKEN’ and value as the token generated from above

Note:

• It is considered best practice use a virtual environment

• It is not required to store the token in an environment variable. The token can be passed to OandaClient

Using async_v20

Once an account has been created as per create-account and the environment is configured as per setting-up-environment we are ready to begin.

Lets first take a look at this code example, then go though it line by line.

import asyncio

from async_v20 import OandaClient


async def get_account():
    async with OandaClient() as client:
        return await client.account()


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
account = loop.run_until_complete(get_account())

# pandas Series
print(account.series())

# HTTP response state
print(account)

# JSON data in python dictionary format
print(account.dict())

First we need to import asyncio this allows us to run our coroutine

import asyncio

We then import OandaClient which provides us the means to interact with OANDA

from async_v20 import OandaClient

Because OandaClient returns coroutines we use async def. This allows the use of the await syntax

async def get_account():

OandaClient is a context manager, we use async with to instantiate a client instance. Doing so will automatically close the http session when we’re done

async with OandaClient() as client:

We then create and run the coroutine by calling client. account()

return await client.account()

Now we have defined our coroutine we need to execute it. To do so we need an event loop. Achieved using asyncio. get_event_loop()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

The value returned by executing the account() coroutine is accessed through the event loop.

account = loop.run_until_complete(get_account())

async_v20 objects have a series() method that returns a pandas. Series. By default async_v20. DateTime’s will be converted into pandas. Timestamp’s.

print(account.series())

Changelog

6.2.1b0

• Array class lazy instantiates objects

• Model objects with same attributes now compare equal (proving equal DateTime format)

• Improved repr of Array objects

• Improved implementation of get_instrument/s, get_id

• All Array objects have get_instrument and get_instruments. Returns either the first or all matching objects

• Removed Model class _template attribute as it was obsolete

• Added get(self, name, default=None) method to Model to allow for dict like key access.

6.2.0b0

• Changed get_transactions method to get_transaction (API call can only return one transaction)

• Removed default parameter argument for get_transaction.(transaction_id) it is a required parameter.

• Made OandaClient.hosts a protected member. Now OandaClient._hosts

• Array. get_instruments() returns an Array of the same type this is when there is a one to many relationship between the instrument and objects the array contains. Array. get_instrument() Returns the single object when there is a one to one relationship. Both methods are mutually exclusive

• All objects now lazy instantiate attribute instances.

• Large refactoring of async_v20.definitions.base

6.1.0b0

• Changed incorrect naming _i_ds to _ids

• Fixed OrderRequest formatting when a OrderRequest instance is passed that defines an instrument.

6.0.2b0

• Fixed InvalidFormatRequest Error when OrderRequest does not define an instrument attribute

6.0.1b0

• Fixed incorrect handling of stream response when endpoint returned status 400

6.0.0b0

• Added health API and initialization check

• Fixed stream_transactions. Now returns correct type

• Changed streaming responses keys. Where stream_pricing() returned ‘PRICE’ or ‘HEARTBEAT’ response now contains ‘price’ or ‘heartbeat’. Like wise stream_transactions() now returns ‘transaction’ or ‘heartbeat’. This has been done to standardise access to the transaction stream response and ‘heartbeat’ objects. Due to the different types these objects may take.

• Added async_v20.exceptions module

• Added logging to modules

5.0.3b0

• Added default argument to Array.get_id & Array.get_instrument

• OandaClient.datetime_format is read only

• OandaClient._instruments is no longer a protected attribute. It is now OandaClient.instruments

5.0.0b0

• DateTime’s create pandas.Timestamp’s

• Model.dict argument datetime is now datetime_format. Argument behaviour now specifies the representation of times. Either RFC3339 or UNIX. Corresponding json argument changes the representation of UNIX times to either a str or numpy.int64

• Response .json() accepts datetime_format argument string

4.0.0b0

• Changed get_positions to get_position (as method can only close one position)

• _in_context accepts negative units

3.0.0b0

• Array.get_instrument() works with ArrayInstrument

• OandaClient.initialize() gets account instruments

• OandaClient has format_order_request attribute

• async_v20.definitions.primitives.Unit has been removed
