Generating an API key

To be able to send data to our backend you need to generate an API key. You can do this by creatingan account. Once logged in you will be prompted to generate an API key. Make sure to store and keep it safe. NEVER give this out to anyone unless you trust them.

Setting up the service

We use a serviceso that we can display the data on your dashboard. You can download our service in your dashboard. To attach the service to your terminal and to make sure your terminal can send a request to our backend:

Right click in the navigator menu and press refresh, you should see the service now populated under the Service section. Double click the service to start a new instance of the service. With the API key you generated from step 1, you will have to put this into the input field API_KEY that appears after double clicking the service.

Before we start running the service by pressing ok, we need to allow the dependecies that it uses. The feature that allows for the toggling of algortihmic trading requires specific DLLs (mainly Windows api DLLs). You can see a list of these dependecies under the dependecies tab in the menu which you put the API key into. You can review the DLLs we use to allow for this feature and decide whether to allow them or not. If you are happy with the DLLs then please select the check box to allow them.

If you decide to not allow these dependecies the service will not work as intended. We plan to have a version of the service that doesn't require these DLLs but this means the feature mentioned will not be available to you in your dashobard

Once you have allowed the dependencies press "ok" on the menu to start the service, and data should start streaming to your dashboard. We recommend testing the Stop/Start trading button while you have the VPS open to see if it toggles algortihmic trading. If it doesn't please contact us so we can look into why it isn't working correctly.
