Tutorials¶
Learn FiveTwenty by connecting to an account, reading data and managing a practice trade. Follow the getting-started sequence below, then choose a topic to explore. Use a practice account and check which operations each example performs before running it.
Start here¶
- Install FiveTwenty and choose a Python environment.
- Configure authentication and verify account access.
- Create and close a practice trade, inspecting the response at each step.
Build on the basics¶
| Topic | What you will learn |
|---|---|
| Trading basics | Read prices and candles, track positions and separate signals from execution |
| Additional order types | Use pending and dependent orders and inspect their lifecycle |
| Risk calculations | Work with units, price distances and account-currency values |
| Account management | Read balances, margin and account changes |
| Streaming data | Consume typed pricing and transaction records and close streams |
Strategy examples demonstrate how to write application code; their parameters are for illustration. Use a practice account to test API behavior, keeping in mind that practice results do not predict live fills or returns.
Other ways to learn¶
The examples page lists runnable scripts and six notebooks. Use guides for a particular integration problem and the API reference for exact signatures and response fields.
If an example fails, note the method, exception type and error code, then follow connection and authentication troubleshooting. Remove credentials and private account details before sharing a report.
