Markets

Account & Market Definition

Several commands, like the ClosePrices() or PlaceBuyOrder(), have a market parameter. The parameter type is a string and is built using the following structure.

PriceSource_BaseCurrency_QuoteCurrency_ContractName

The contract name can be empty for spot and margin markets but is required for leverage.

Some examples of market definitions are;

• BITSTAMP_BTC_USD_

• BINANCE_ETH_BTC_

• BITMEX_XBT_USD_XBTUSD

• BITMEX_ETH_XBT_ETHU19

InputAccountMarket

InputAccountMarket will return an extended version with the account identifier and leverage

AccountId_PriceSource_BaseCurrency_QuoteCurrency_ContractName_Leverage

This same string can be used for every command that requires an account, market, or leverage definition.

Example; c3f53076-0c8d-4d9c-90fb-35e36143c076_BITMEX_ADA_XBT_ADAU19_10

InputAccount

Input account only returns the account identifier as a string, this string can be used as the market in PlaceBuyOrder. The command will place an order on the same market as the main market but on a different account.

CreateMarket

CreateMarket allows you to compile a custom market string. All the parameters are optional and the default market setting will be used if not set.

If, for example, the script is on BITSTAMP_BTC_USD_ and we call CreateMarket('', '', 'EUR') it will return BITSTAMP_BTC_EUR_.
