Question

Hello,

 

I need a way to download the type on information I get when I click the “Show HLOC” option. This is things like market price, MACD and RSI indicator data.

 

I believe I can use API for this but it is not clear from the Labs website how I actually do it. I have some technical computer knowledge but only some. 

 

I am using the IG web based trading platform. Thank you for any help, it is much appreciated.

Hello,

 

Thanks you thats really helpful. Historic data is useful and I do need it but I am also interested in the live (ish) data, anything up to 4 hours old. 

 

Also I need to be able to download values for my indicators like Moving Averages, MACD and RSI. When I turn on “Show HLOC” with my indicators on a chart it shows me values for these. Such as RSI oversold at 82, or MA at 3094. Do you know how I can get this information out of IG?

 

 Thank you so much for your help.

Ahh yes that looks like it may not be possible. Have you ever come across ta.lib.org?

 

Also do you know how I download the raw data? Or is that the video you posted previously? 

 

Thanks.

That vid is the best one I've seen on how to get the raw data, don't know too much about  ta.lib but they do give a free trial period and use excel spreadsheets same as in the video so seems compatible.

It sounds like you are looking for something to use for backtesting rather than developing a bot to use to trade via API, would a simulator program using historic data be of use?

Hello,

 

Sorry I should give some context. I use a spreadsheet to input technical indicators such as RSI, MACD and MA, which I have weighted appropriately to help give me a view of the trend which supports my chart pattern trading. 

 

I an am trying to get the raw data for price and the above indicators so I can download into my spread sheet to automate the analysis which I can then go an manually trade off.

Thanks. I imagine if I can use the API to get HLOC data for prices I can programme Excel to calculate my indicators without having to buy ta-lib.

    • WTI Elliott Wave Analysis Crude oil prices remain sideways below $73 as momentum shrinks. A bearish breakout is more likely toward $60, However, the commodity will have to breach the $64-62 price zone which may offer support at some point.  WTI Daily Chart Analysis  In the long term, the price is still correcting the impulse rally between April 2020 and March 2022 which saw the commodity reach almost $131. Thus, the decline from March 2022 is evolving into a double-zigzag corrective structure. Wave ((W)) finished at $63.5 in May 2023 with a triple zigzag structure before a sideways triangle structure ended wave ((X)) at $84.5 in July 2024. Thus, the decline from $84.5 (July 2024) is expected to be for wave ((Y)). However, it’s still in the early stage. Price completed wave W of (W) of ((Y)) in September 2024 and then the corresponding wave Y in October 2024. Price is now in wave Y of (W) which is incomplete and has the potential to reach $61-57.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is currently in wave (b) of ((y)) of Y if 72.96 continues to hold. However, a breach of 72.76 will make us consider a new potential top for ((x)) if the price remains below the 78.45 invalidation level. For as much as the price stays below 78.45, the potential for more downside is higher than the upside. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
