API for Downloading Chart Data


Guest RichB-Trader

Question

Guest RichB-Trader

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.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
