I started working with rithmic protocol API in the javascript language.
Curious if anyone else is also using this. I’d love to connect and chat about the various payloads to send for requests and what each response means.
Thanks

Thanks for the response Jake.

It’s good to know others are using the JavaScript library too. I’m really liking the speed and accuracy so far. I just for full access about two weeks ago.
I’m sad that it shuts down on weekends. This is prime time to run tests and implement more functionality while I have spare time.

One main question I have is about MARKET_STOP orders. I have some basic functions to create a LIMIT order for my target, and a MARKET_STOP for my stop loss. Once wither the Target or Stop is hit, I need to cancel the other.
But, it seems my STOP_MARKET order is not canceled by the CANCEL ALL ORDERS method.
Has anyone else had this trouble?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,

I’ve implemented an API to the Protoc API in Python. It sounds like you want to use Bracket Orders instead, which automatically create an opposing limit take profit and opposing stop market order for each fill that comes in on the Bracket Order.

In this scenario, if you cancel either the stop or the take profit, the other linked order is cancelled. Note you will get a 1 to 1 or many relationship of Parent (Bracket) order to the children (Take Profit & Stops). If its a single fill on the parent you get 1, if it takes 2 fills you will get two stops and two take profits for example.

Here’s my current package: GitHub - jacksonwoody/pyrithmic: Python Implementation of the Rithmic Protocol Buffer API

Hi. Not sure if this thread is still active, but i am also trying to use the rithmic protocol API in js to connect to my topstep ninja accounts. I connected to Rithmic Test successfully, but now everytime i perform a rithmicsysteminfo query with my real ID on the TopstepTrader system, I get an error. The only system that appears in system info is Rithmic Test. Why is this? When i signed into R trader pro on the test system and signed the agreements, I entered ‘Retail’. Should i have entered ‘non-professional’? Could that be what is causing this? I’m not sure how to make a system info request that returns more than just Rithmic Test as an option. Any guidance would be appreciated.
