symbol data export
27 Feb 2024, 11:58

Hi Support,

 

I would like to somehow get the data below into an excel or csv for my FIX api trading. I know that openapi can collect these but not everyone is familiar with openapi, and also in this case this is a prop firm account, which means that the account is not under my email address. I think it is just a randomly generated e-mail.

Is there a way to somehow collect these data without typing it manually?

Are there any plans to get these via FIX or simply just download it from the app in a csv? (downloading it from the app would beneficial for non algo traders as well)

Also if there are any other ways I am not aware of, please let me know.

Hi there,

You can get the symbols through FIX API using the Security List message. See below

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware of that, but I am not getting important info such as commission, lot size, etc…. These are essensial info for trading.

Hi there,

Unfortunately there is no other alternative at the moment. This info can be provided only by the broker.
