Super Easy Tradovate TypeScript SDK

Hello Tradovate Developers,

I’m excited to announce a new Typescript package I’ve been working on called tradovate-typescript. This package aims to simplify connecting to and deploying trading strategies on Tradovate.

You can connect to quote, tick, or any other type of Tradovate data in just a few lines of code. It also makes running full live or replay strategies really easy. I will post a video this week showing how to build a simple strategy.

If this package gets some stars on GitHub, I wouldn’t be opposed to making a Python or Go version of this package as well. Let me know!

Project Overview: tradovate-typescript is a Typescript wrapper for the Tradovate API, allowing you to quickly set up connections and interact with market data and trading functionality.

Key Features:

  • Easy connection to Tradovate services
  • Streamlined market data subscription
  • Typescript support for improved development experience

Installation: You can install the package using npm or yarn:

npm install tradovate --save

yarn add tradovate

Usage:

Connecting to quote data can be done in a few lines of code.

import 'dotenv/config'
import {TradovateService, AccessTokenRequestBody, MarketDataSocket} from '../../src'

const credentials: AccessTokenRequestBody = {
    name: process.env.TV_USER!,
    password: process.env.TV_PASSWORD!,
    appId: process.env.TV_APP_ID,
    appVersion: '1.0.0',
    cid: process.env.TV_CID,
    sec: process.env.TV_SECRET
}

const service = new TradovateService()

const mdSocket = new MarketDataSocket()

async function main() {
    // Pass in credentials and initialize core service
    await service.connect(credentials)
   
    // Connect to market data socket
    await mdSocket.connect()

    // Subscribe to quote data for a ticker
    await mdSocket.subscribeQuote('ESU3', item => {
        console.log(item)
    })

    // Disconnect socket after 30 mins
    setTimeout(() => {
        mdSocket.disconnect()
    }, 30 * 60 * 1000)
}

main()
