Getting Started

To use this Python wrapper, you'll need the username and password that you use to access TradeLocker. If you don't already have access, you need to find a broker that supports TradeLocker and create an account.

Installation

This package requires Python 3.11 or later. The easiest way to install this package is using pip:

pip install tradelocker

Typechecking

By installing TradeLocker with optional typechecking dependencies (typeguard), the package will automatically verify the types of all functions that you call.

Usage

Here's a simple example on how to use the TradeLocker Python API wrapper. The code below initializes a TLAPI object with authentication data. It then: fetches price history and latest price, creates an order that converts into a position, waits for 2 seconds, and finally closes the same position.

from tradelocker import TLAPI
import time, random

# Initialize the API client with the information you use to login
tl = TLAPI(environment = "https://demo.tradelocker.com", username = "[e-mail]", password = "YOUR_PASS", server = "SERVER_NAME")

symbol_name = "BTCUSD" # "RANDOM"
all_instruments = tl.get_all_instruments()
if symbol_name == "RANDOM":
	instrument_id = int(random.choice(all_instruments['tradableInstrumentId']))
else:
	instrument_id = tl.get_instrument_id_from_symbol_name(symbol_name)
price_history = tl.get_price_history(instrument_id, resolution="1D", start_timestamp=0, end_timestamp=0,lookback_period="5D")
latest_price = tl.get_latest_asking_price(instrument_id)
order_id = tl.create_order(instrument_id, quantity=0.01, side="buy", type_="market")
if order_id:
	print(f"Placed order with id {order_id}, sleeping for 2 seconds.")
	time.sleep(2)
	tl.close_position(order_id)
	print(f"Closed order with id {order_id}.")
else:
	print("Failed to place order.")
