Trading Workflow

Create Orders - Use POST /api/v1/trade/create to open new positions
Monitor Positions - Use this endpoint to regularly check your open orders
Track P&L - Monitor the profit field to see unrealized gains/losses
Close When Ready - Use POST /api/v1/trade/close to close positions

Use Cases

Portfolio Monitoring

Regularly poll this endpoint to display a dashboard of active trading positions:

# Poll every 5 seconds for real-time updates
while true; do
  curl -X GET https://api.exness.com/api/v1/trade/orders \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  sleep 5
done

Risk Management

Check total exposure across all open positions:

const response = await fetch('https://api.exness.com/api/v1/trade/orders', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
const orders = data.message;

// Calculate total exposure
const totalExposure = orders.reduce((sum, order) => {
  return sum + (order.quantity * order.openPrice * order.leverage);
}, 0);

// Calculate total unrealized P&L
const totalProfit = orders.reduce((sum, order) => {
  return sum + order.profit;
}, 0);

console.log(`Total Exposure: $${totalExposure.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Total Unrealized P&L: $${totalProfit.toFixed(2)}`);

Notes

The endpoint returns only OPEN orders; use GET /api/v1/trade/close for closed order history
Orders are automatically retrieved for the user identified by the JWT token
The message field contains a JSON-stringified array that should be parsed by the client
Profit/loss values are calculated in real-time based on current market prices
The endpoint uses a 5-second timeout for Redis stream operations
Orders with take profit or stop loss may automatically close when price targets are reached
