TIP

  • When using live trading accounts, you need to unlock trade before calling Place Order or Modify or Cancel Orders interface, but when using paper trading accounts, you do not need to unlock trade.
  • Locking or unlocking the transaction is an operation on OpenD. As long as one connection is unlocked, all other connections can call the transaction interface
  • It is strongly recommended that customers who connect to OpenD via the external network for live trading use encrypted channels, refer to Enable protocol encryption
  • OpenAPI does not support moomoo token. If you have activated moomoo token, it will fail to unlock. You need to turn off the token and then use OpenAPI to unlock.

Interface Limitations

  • A maximum of 10 requests per 30 seconds
