Log file - C++ - Python

Discussion in 'App Development' started by zenmaster, Mar 11, 2021.

  1. Hello everyone,

    I'm aware the platform generates a log file that contains all info for what I'm doing and data feeds coming from the market. I would like to import those data into python in order to manipulate then build a strategy on it and execute directly orders through the platform. The trading platform is called Takion and is developed in c++. That doesn't seem like a walk in the park. :) Any idea if this is possible?

    Thanks
     
  2. If you can locate the log file(s) then you can write a simple program in Python to read this log file and do whatever you want with that information (assuming these files are text based and easily readable).
    There are many videos on YouTube describing how to read a text file in Python.

    i doubt the log file captures data feed messages or anything useful to build a strategy upon
