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_
.
