Tips

  • Visual moomoo OpenD provides services by launching command line moomoo OpenD, interacted through WebSocket, so the WebSocket function must be started.

  • 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): md5.png

  • moomoo OpenD reads OpenD.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.
