How to Execute a Market Order

The example code below shows how you can connect to a cTrader broker account, you will need to get a clientId, clientSecret and accessToken by creating an account on cTrader Open API.

const { Mida, MidaBroker, } = require("@reiryoku/mida");

// Use the Mida cTrader plugin
Mida.use(require("@reiryoku/mida-ctrader"));

// Login into any cTrader broker account
const myAccount = await MidaBroker.login("cTrader", {
    clientId: "",
    clientSecret: "",
    accessToken: "",
    cTraderBrokerAccountId: "",
});

To execute a short market order with no stop loss or take profit for EURUSD you can use the following code block.

const { MidaBrokerOrderDirection, } = require("@reiryoku/mida");

const myOrder = await myAccount.placeOrder({
    symbol: "EURUSD",
    direction: MidaBrokerOrderDirection.SELL,
    volume: 0.1,
});

The following code block shows how you can submit a long market order with a take profit and stop loss.

const { MidaBrokerOrderDirection, } = require("@reiryoku/mida");

const symbol = "EURUSD";
const lastBid = await myAccount.getSymbolBid(symbol);
const myOrder = await myAccount.placeOrder({
    symbol,
    direction: MidaBrokerOrderDirection.BUY,
    volume: 0.1,
    protection: {
        stopLoss: lastBid - 0.0010, // <= SL 10 pips
        takeProfit: lastBid + 0.0030, // <= TP 30 pips
    },
});

How to check the order submission status from the broker.

if (myOrder.isRejected) {
    switch (myOrder.rejectionType) {
        case MidaBrokerOrderRejectionType.MARKET_CLOSED: {
            console.log("#AAPL market is closed!");
            break;
        }
        case MidaBrokerOrderRejectionType.NOT_ENOUGH_MONEY: {
            console.log("You don't have enough money in your account!");
            break;
        }
        case MidaBrokerOrderRejectionType.INVALID_SYMBOL: {
            console.log("Your broker account doesn't support trading Apple stocks!");
            break;
        }
    }
}

Real-Time Economic Rates & News

The Apollo JavaScript library gets real-time economic declarations from investing.com such as inflation rates, unemployment rates & interest rates reported by governments and other entities.

• Economic Apollo Framework

This is a basic list of economic factors, it is possible to edit a file and add more to the list and customise it to your needs.

Usage Code Example 

First, you have to choose an economic factor and then request its declarations.

const { ApolloEconomicFactor } = require("@reiryoku/apollo");

const japanInflationRate = ApolloEconomicFactor.getById("Japan/CPI/YoY");
const lastDeclaration = await japanInflationRate.getLastDeclaration();

console.log(`Japan inflation rate is ${lastDeclaration.actualValue}%`);
console.log(`The last declaration was made on ${lastDeclaration.date}`);

Web Applications

By using a Javascript framework to connect to a cTrader broker to submit and manage orders as well as get the account information, a person can create a simple or complex web page that will be accessible to anyone with a web browser.

The Real-Time Economic Rates library can be used to display on your web page real news events as they happen.

Support

There are various levels of support for this framework, as it is still fairly new the amount of documentation is limited, but we hope that at ClickAlgo we can fill that gap to help.
