exchange.GetTicker

Get the Ticker structure corresponding to the currently set trading pair or contract code, i.e., market data. The GetTicker() function is a member function of the exchange object exchange. The member functions (methods) of the exchange object are only related to exchange, which will not be repeated in subsequent documentation.

    
    
    
exchange.GetTicker()

    
    
    
exchange.GetTicker(symbol)

Examples

• For futures exchange objects (i.e., exchange or exchanges[0]), you need to use the exchange.SetContractType() function to set the contract code before calling market data functions. This will not be repeated in subsequent documentation.

  • python
  • cpp

  
      javascript
      
      
  function main(){
      // If it's a futures exchange object, first set the contract code, for example, set it to perpetual contract
      // exchange.SetContractType("swap")
  
      var ticker = exchange.GetTicker()
      /*
          Due to network reasons, the exchange API may not be accessible (even if the device where the bot is hosted can open the exchange website, the API interface may still be inaccessible)
          In this case, ticker will be null, and accessing ticker.High will cause an error, so when testing this code, ensure that the exchange API is accessible
      */
      Log("Symbol:", ticker.Symbol, "High:", ticker.High, "Low:", ticker.Low, "Sell:", ticker.Sell, "Buy:", ticker.Buy, "Last:", ticker.Last, "Open:", ticker.Open, "Volume:", ticker.Volume)
  }
  

  
      python
      
      
  def main():
      ticker = exchange.GetTicker()
      Log("Symbol:", ticker["Symbol"], "High:", ticker["High"], "Low:", ticker["Low"], "Sell:", ticker["Sell"], "Buy:", ticker["Buy"], "Last:", ticker["Last"], "Open:", ticker["Open"], "Volume:", ticker["Volume"])
  

  
      c++
      
      
  void main() {
      auto ticker = exchange.GetTicker();
      Log("Symbol:", ticker.Symbol, "High:", ticker.High, "Low:", ticker.Low, "Sell:", ticker.Sell, "Buy:", ticker.Buy, "Last:", ticker.Last, "Open:", ticker.Open, "Volume:", ticker.Volume);
  }
  

• Use the symbol parameter to request market data for a specific symbol (spot symbol).

  • javascript
  • python
  • cpp

  
      javascript
      
      
  function main() {
      var ticker = exchange.GetTicker("BTC_USDT")
      Log(ticker)
  }
  

  
      python
      
      
  def main():
      ticker = exchange.GetTicker("BTC_USDT")
      Log(ticker)
  

  
      c++
      
      
  void main() {
      auto ticker = exchange.GetTicker("BTC_USDT");
      Log(ticker);
  }

Remarks

In the backtesting system, the Ticker data returned by the exchange.GetTicker() function has simulated values for High and Low, taken from the best ask and best bid at that time.

In live trading, the Ticker data returned by the exchange.GetTicker() function has High and Low values determined by the data returned from the exchange's encapsulated Tick interface, which includes the highest and lowest prices within a certain period (usually a 24-hour period).

Exchanges that do not support the exchange.GetTicker() function:
