This repository contains working examples of how to build, test, and run automated trading strategies using the AlgoTest API.
It is intended as a learning resource and starter-kit for developers who want to integrate AlgoTest with their own systematic trading workflows.

Repository Structure

1. TradeSignals/

This folder contains the demo strategies built on the AlgoTest Trade Signals API.
It showcases:

• Authentication flow
• Fetching contracts
• WebSocket connection for live candles
• Strategy implementation (EMA-based crossover)
• Creating & sending trade signals via AlgoTest API

Best for:

Users who want to just give trades and send them programmatically.

---

2. SignalsAPI/

This folder contains the structured strategy engine, built around AlgoTest OMS and Signals API. It includes:

• strategy_payload.json – defines your strategy (legs, lots, SL/target, expiry, instrument type, etc.)
• strategy.py – core engine that reads payloads and live data, then executes trades
• signals_api.py – wrapper for AlgoTest trade signal API
• main.py – orchestration (login, fetch contracts, start WebSocket, run strategy)
• Other helpers (algotest_login.py, contracts_fetch.py, option_chain_websocket.py)

Best for:

Users who want complex strategies with Python code.
Strategies can be defined entirely in JSON (e.g., ATM straddle, spreads, multi-leg option setups).
