OS Requirement and Stability of the Python API

tylergupku

I am new the Redi API and I apologize for my questions if they are too naive.

Q1: must I use Windows OS in order to use the Redi python API?

Q2: Is the Redi python API stable enough to handle 10K+ trades per day without crashing?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I really appreciate it!

I have contacted the product team to approve your request.

I did a quick test by calling the Order.Submit in a loop in a single thread.

I can send around 50 orders per minute.

To use REDI API, you need to login to the REDIPlus app and REDI API uses the login user to send orders.

The following code is used to send an order.

        private void SendSimpleOrder()
        {
            ORDER objOrder = new ORDER();

            objOrder.Symbol = "IBM";
            objOrder.Exchange = "DEMO DMA";
            objOrder.PriceType = "Limit";
            objOrder.Side = "Buy";      
          
            objOrder.Quantity = 100;          
            objOrder.Price = 129;
            objOrder.TIF = "Day";
           
            objOrder.Account = "EQUITY-TR";
            objOrder.Ticket = "Bypass";
            object ord_err = null;
            bool status;
            status = objOrder.Submit(ref ord_err);
...
       }
