Installation

npm install scaletrade-server-api

Requirements:

• Node.js >= 14.17.0 (for crypto.randomUUID support)
• No external dependencies!

Quick Start

const STPlatform = require('scaletrade-server-api');

// Initialize with minimal config
const platform = new STPlatform(
  'broker.scaletrade.com:8080', // Host:port
  'my-trading-bot',
  { autoSubscribe: ['EURUSD', 'BTCUSD'] },
  null, null,
  'your-jwt-auth-token'
);

// Real-time quotes
platform.emitter.on('quote', q => {
  console.log(`${q.symbol}: ${q.bid}/${q.ask}`);
});

// Trade events
platform.emitter.on('trade:event', e => {
  const d = e.data;
  console.log(`#${d.order} ${d.cmd === 0 ? 'BUY' : 'SELL'} ${d.volume} ${d.symbol}`);
});

// Subscribe to new symbol
await platform.subscribe('XAUUSD');

// Create user
await platform.AddUser({
  name: 'John Doe',
  group: 'VIP',
  leverage: 500,
  email: '[email protected]'
});

// Graceful shutdown
platform.destroy();

Supported Events

| Event | Description | Example | |------|-------------|--------| | quote | Real-time tick | { symbol: 'EURUSD', bid: 1.085, ask: 1.086 } | | quote:SYMBOL | Per-symbol | quote:EURUSD | | notify | System alerts | notify:20 (warning) | | trade:event | Order open/close/modify | data.order, data.profit | | balance:event | Balance & margin update | data.equity, data.margin_level | | user:event | User profile change | data.leverage, data.group | | symbol:event | Symbol settings update | data.spread, data.swap_long | | group:event | Group config change | data.default_leverage | | symbols:reindex | Symbol index map | [[symbol, sym_index, sort_index], ...] | | security:reindex | Security group map | [[sec_index, sort_index], ...] |

API

Methods

| Method | Description | |-------|-------------| | subscribe(channels) | Fast subscribe to symbols | | unsubscribe(channels) | Fast unsubscribe | | platform.CommandName(data) | Dynamic command (e.g., AddUser) | | platform.send(payload) | Legacy format: { command, data } | | platform.destroy() | Close connection | | platform.isConnected() | Check connection status |

Examples

Subscribe & Unsubscribe

// Single symbol
await platform.subscribe('GBPUSD');

// Multiple symbols
await platform.subscribe(['GBPUSD', 'USDJPY']);

// Unsubscribe
await platform.unsubscribe('BTCUSD');

Error Handling

try {
  const user = await platform.AddUser({ name: 'Test' });
  if (user.status === 200) {
    console.log('✓ Success:', user.data);
  } else {
    console.error('✗ Failed:', user);
  }
} catch (err) {
  console.error('❌ Error:', err.message);
}

Get All Users

const users = await platform.GetUsers({});
console.log(users);

Listen to Balance Changes

platform.emitter.on('balance:event', e => {
  console.log(`User ${e.data.login}: Equity = ${e.data.equity}`);
});

// Listen to specific user
platform.emitter.on('balance:event:12345', e => {
  console.log('User 12345 balance updated');
});

Full Example

See example/example.js

Configuration

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | autoSubscribe | string[] | [] | Auto-subscribe on connect | | ignoreEvents | boolean | false | Disable all event emission | | mode | 'live' \| 'demo' | 'live' | Environment mode | | prefix | string | 'nor' | Event prefix (reserved) |

Performance Improvements

v0.1.5 vs v1.0

| Metric | v0.1.5 | v1.0 | Improvement | |--------|------|--------|-------------| | Dependencies | 2 | 0 | 100% reduction | | Install size | ~500KB | ~10KB | 98% smaller | | Startup time | ~120ms | ~50ms | 58% faster | | Memory usage | ~15MB | ~8MB | 47% less | | extID generation | 5.2M/s | 7.6M/s | 46% faster |

Migration from v0.1.5 vs v1.0

Changes

1. Removed dependencies - No need to install shortid or jsonrepair
2. Node.js requirement - Minimum version is now 14.17.0

No Code Changes Required!

Your existing code will work without modifications:

const STPlatform = require('scaletrade-server-api');
const platform = new STPlatform(/* ... */);

Advanced Usage

Custom Event Emitter

const EventEmitter = require('events');
const customEmitter = new EventEmitter();

const platform = new STPlatform(
  url, name, options, 
  null, null, token,
  customEmitter  // Use custom emitter
);

Connection Status Monitoring

setInterval(() => {
  if (platform.isConnected()) {
    console.log('✓ Connected');
  } else {
    console.log('✗ Disconnected - reconnecting...');
  }
}, 5000);

Graceful Shutdown

process.on('SIGINT', () => {
  console.log('Shutting down...');
  platform.destroy();
  process.exit(0);
});

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

// Check connection status
console.log('Connected:', platform.isConnected());

// Monitor error count
platform.emitter.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('Error:', err.message);
});

Memory Leaks

// v1.0 automatically limits seenNotifyTokens to 10,000 entries
// No manual cleanup needed!

// Optional: Monitor event listeners
console.log('Listeners:', platform.emitter.listenerCount('quote'));
