Command Line OpenD

Step 1: Download

Command line Futu OpenD can be runned under 4 operating systems: Windows、MacOS、CentOS、Ubuntu (Click to download).

• Futu OpenD - Windows、MacOS 、CenOS 、Ubuntu

Step 2: Decompression

• Extract the file downloaded in the previous step and find the Futu OpenD configuration file FutuOpenD.xml and the program packaged data file Appdata.dat in the folder.
  • FutuOpenD.xml is used to configure the startup parameters of the Futu OpenD program. If it does not exist, the program cannot start correctly.
  • Appdata.dat is a large amount of data information the program needs to use, packaging data to reduce the time of downloading data while starting Futu OpenD. If it does not exist, the program can not start correctly.
• Command line Futu OpenD supports user-defined file paths, refer to Command line startup parameters。

Step 1: Download

• You can download through moomoo official website.

Step 2: Decompression

• Extract the file downloaded in the previous step and find the moomoo OpenD configuration file OpenD.xml and the program packaged data file Appdata.dat in the folder.
  • OpenD.xml is used to configure the startup parameters of the moomoo OpenD program. If it does not exist, the program cannot start correctly.
  • Appdata.dat is a large amount of data information the program needs to use, packaging data to reduce the time of downloading data while starting moomoo OpenD. If it does not exist, the program can not start correctly.
• Command line moomoo OpenD supports user-defined file paths, refer to Command line startup parameters。

Step 3: Parameter Configuration

• Open and edit the configuration file FutuOpenD.xml as the picture below. For general use, you only need to change your account and login password, and other options can be modified according to the instructions in the following table.

push_proto_type	API protocol type. Determines the format of the package body. Option: 0 (pb) 1 (json) PB format by default
qot_push_frequency	API subscription data push frequency In milliseconds. Candlestick and Time Frame are not included. If not set, the frequency will not be limited.

rsa_private_key	API protocol RSA encrypted private key (PKCS#1) file absolute path. If not set, the protocol will not be encrypted.
price_reminder_push	Whether to receive the price reminder. Option: 0: not received, 1: received (callback function set_handler needs to be set in the script). It will be pushed by default.
auto_hold_quote_right	Whether to automatically grab quote right after being kicked. Option: 0: No, 1: Yes (when this option is enabled, FutuOpenD will automatically grab back quote right after being grabbed. If it is robbed again within 10 seconds, the other terminal will get the highest quote right, and FutuOpenD will not grab it again). The permission will be robbed automatically by default.
future_trade_api_time_zone	Specify the futures trading API time zone. When trading API is called with futures accounts, the time involved is in accordance with this parameter. Also can be specified in Command Line Startup. If not set, the exchange time zone will be the default.
websocket_ip	WebSocket listening address. Option: 127.0.0.1 (for local connections) 0.0.0.0 (for connections from all network cards) 127.0.0.1 by default.
websocket_port	WebSocket service listening port. If not set, WebSocket service will not be enabled.
websocket_key_md5	Key ciphertext (32-bit MD5 encrypted hexadecimal). Used to judge whether the connection is trusted when JavaScript scripts are connected.
websocket_private_key	WebSocket certificate private key file path. The private key cannot be configured with a password. If not configured, WebSocket is not enabled. It needs to be configured at the same time with the certificate.

pdt_protection	Whether to turn on the Pattern Day Trade Protection. Specific parameters for FUTU US Option: 0: No, 1: Yes (We will prevent you from placing orders which might mark you as a Pattern Day Trader(PDT). The Protection can not guarentee that you won't be marked as a PDT. If you are marked as a PDT, you will not be allowed to open new positions until your equity is above $25000.) The Pattern Day Trade Protection will be turned on by default.
dtcall_confirmation	Whether to turn on the Day-Trading Call Warning. Specific parameters for FUTU US Option: 0: No, 1: Yes (We will prevent you from placing orders which might exceed your remaining day-trading buying power. We will alert you that you are placing orders that exceed your remaining day-trading buying power. If you close the positions today, you will receive a Day-Trading Call. The DT Call can ONLY be met by depositing funds in the full amount of the call.) The Day-Trading Call Warning will be turned on by default.

Tips

• To ensure safety of your trading accounts, if the listening address is not local, you must configure a private key to use the trading interface. The quote interface is not subject to this restriction.

• When the WebSocket listening address is not local, you need to configure SSL to start it, and a password should not be set during the certificate private key generation.

• Ciphertext is represented in hexadecimal after plaintext is encrypted by 32-bit MD5, which can be calculated by searching online MD5 encryption (note that there may be a risk of records colliding with libraries calculated through third-party websites) or by downloading MD5 computing tools. The 32-bit MD5 ciphertext is shown in the red box area (e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e):

  

• Futu OpenD reads FutuOpenD.xml in the same directory by default. On MacOS, due to the system protection mechanism, OpenD.app will be assigned a random path at run time, so that the original path can not be found. At this point, there are the following methods:

  • Execute fixrun.sh under tar package
  • Specify the configuration file path with the command line parameter -cfg_file, as described below

• The log level defaults to the info level. During the system development phase, it is not recommended to close the log or modify the log to the warning, error, fatal level to prevent failure to locate problems.
