    Here is a question you can ask Alpaca: --- **Subject: Fetching Account Information Using OAuth 2.0 and TradingAPI** **Dear Alpaca Support Team,** I am currently implementing OAuth 2.0 authentication and TradingAPI for my application and need some assistance. Specifically, I need to understand the best practice for fetching the account information of end users using their access tokens. Here are my questions: 1. How can I fetch the account information of end users using their access tokens obtained through OAuth 2.0? 2. Given that for general use cases individuals can retrieve their account information using their API key and secret key since we are huilding a trading application, how can I set up the API client to make calls on behalf of end users using the access tokens? 3. What is the correct way to initialize the API client for an application designed to perform API calls on behalf of end users? Your guidance on these points would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance. Best regard

We appreciate your enthusiasm and recommend keeping an eye on our updates for any new developments.

  • @jackbud427
    @jackbud427 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @10:00 it might be better to use a while loop here instead of an if to go through the pages. I'm guessing each page has 100 contracts and since you only go through the first 2 pages that might be why you're getting 200 contracts on the dot. Otherwise API looks really easy to use !

    • @coininstant6908
      @coininstant6908 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It looks like your bot is having trouble calculating the `fast` and `slow` moving averages, resulting in `NaN` values. This could be due to a few reasons, most likely the symbol is being incorrectly formatted (make sure to use the correct format, e.g., `BTC/USD`) Also note that when you get to position size setup the correct way is to reference BTCUSD. So in this setup there are two different ways needed to play with BTC. I just got script working, still testing. another issue they left out taking account for small crypto taker fee of 0.25% ******************** Fast 43051.42070833333 / Slow: 43050.70852083334 Position: 0.009950062 / Should Buy: True Sleep for 0 ******************** Fast 43051.42070833333 / Slow: 43050.70852083334 Position: 0.009950062 / Should Buy: True Sleep for 59 ******************** Fast 43051.47816666666 / Slow: 43049.910437499995 Position: 0.009950062 / Should Buy: True Sleep for 0 ******************** Fast 43051.47816666666 / Slow: 43049.910437499995 Position: 0.009950062 / Should Buy: True Sleep for 0 ******************** Fast 43050.53804166667 / Slow: 43050.7450625 Position: 0.009950062 / Should Buy: False

It's nice also that a specific timeframe such as five minutes can be constructed then passed in instead of having to resample.

    Thank you for the nice explanation. In algo trading, especially scalping, the overall latency is everything. It's good to hear you've built your system from the ground up, the data feed is actually pretty good, however the execution times are quite behind in my experience. Trading daily high volume stocks and often having 1-2 seconds fill time, it's way too much for algo traders. Have you thought about possibility of direct market routing? Many would be willing to pay the fee for it. Thank you and keep up with the good work 👍
