tradernet-sdk 2.2.0

Public API for Tradernet

tradernet-sdk

Python Software Development Kit for Tradernet.

Installation

Installing tradernet with pip is straightforward:
python -m pip install tradernet-sdk
Instead of python you can use here and further pypy3 depending on your preferences.

Usage

Import the client library into your script:
from tradernet import Tradernet as tn
Initialize it with your credentials:
connection = tn("public_key", "private_key")
or create a config file tradernet.ini with the following content:

[auth]
public   = public_key
private  = private_key

and initialize the client with connection = tn.from_config("tradernet.ini")
Call any of its public methods, for example:
connection.user_info()

How to trade

Import and instantiate Tradernet class as usual:

from tradernet import Tradernet as tn


connection = tn.from_config("tradernet.ini")

Now let's buy 1 share of FRHC.US at the market price:

connection.buy("FRHC.US")

Trading bonds, structured products, and other instruments without electronic execution is conducted via so-called voice orders:

connection.send_voice_order("T.4.75.051555.BND")

a structured product requires specifying an order type:

connection.send_voice_order("PHX9999.JUN26", type="structured_product")

Websockets

Websocket API can be accessed via another class TradernetWebsocket. It implements the asynchronous interface for Tradernet API, and its usage is a bit more complicated. First of all, it uses an instance of the Core or its subclass, for example, Tradernet for authentication. So it should be created first:
connection = Core.from_config("tradernet.ini")
Second, the TradernetWebsocket class should be used as a context manager within a coroutine as in the example below:

from asyncio import run
from tradernet import Tradernet as tn, TradernetWebsocket as tnws


async def main(connection: tn) -> None:    # coroutine
    async with tnws(connection) as wscon:  # type: tnws
        async for quote in wscon.market_depth("FRHC.US"):
            print(quote)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    core = tn.from_config('tradernet.ini')
    run(main(core))

Password authentication

Password authentication has been completely disabled since version 2.0.0.

Options

The notation of options in Tradernet now can easily be deciphered:

from tradernet import TradernetOption as tno


option = tno("+FRHC.16SEP2022.C55")
print(option)  # FRHC.US @ 55 Call 2022-09-16

Wrapping market data

Another feature is to get handy pandas.DataFrame objects with market data:

from pandas import DataFrame
from tradernet import TradernetSymbol as tns, Tradernet as tn


connection = tn("public_key", "private_key")
symbol = tns("AAPL.US", connection).get_data()
market_data = DataFrame(
    symbol.candles,
    index=symbol.timestamps,
    columns=["high", "low", "open", "close"]
)
print(market_data.head().to_markdown())
# | date                |     high |      low |     open |    close |
