where can i find my accountID?
its not my username?
Your User name is linked to your account but your Account ID is its own identifier.
If you click that button i pointed out in the picture i posted you should see your account name displayed under accounts.
is it whats listed under live accounts?
Yes that is what i believe you are asking about. That is the identifier Tradovate has assigned to your account.
In terms of the REST API, however, the value @MadCat is showing is your account name, not it’s entity ID. To retrieve the entity IDs for your accounts, use the account/list
to get a list of all accounts you own, or account/find
with the name ‘DEMO00000’/‘LIVE00000’ that corresponds to your account. The id
field in the response object is what you’re looking for. Ensure you’re using the demo base URL for demo accounts and the live base URL for live accounts .
