Hi, I don't know whether this is the correct sub forum, sorry if it is not. My scenario is the following, I am a developer that wants to create an application to automate my trading, I took as an example IC markets, I downloaded their cAlgo platform but I would like to know how can I login programatically to IC markets. I searched in cAlgo.API and cAlgo.API.internals and didn't find a function to login/logout from the broker.

Maybe I have to use this API instead? https://connect.spotware.com/documentation/section/trading-api  but in that case I read that I have to use OAuth 2.0 for authentication but I don't understand where do I obtain my client id and my client secret.

In any case I would like to know how can I use my IC markets Account Number and Password to programatically login -and trade afterwards- using cTrader/cAlgo framework or if it is not possible.

Thanks!
