Thanks for the reply Danny,

I,m only a beginner at JavaScript but have been trading full time for 8 years and did study and practice from the articles at Mql Community website that are fully rated indicators and robotic algorithms.Since going through too many thefts of phones and laptops at home here I,ve decided on trading with VALR API as it is near to home (South Africa) as thefts of PC,so and SIM cards left me no access to my email to OTP my Deriv cashier at Deriv.com .

Following your request for a link to where I am attempting my workspace from VALR API on Postman I am pasting the VALR API documentation as well as the link to my Postman Team for developers to involve others to encourage development and support the eco - development. :

Have you used the VALR platform to generate your API Keys for your account?

That’s what would be used in the requests you’re making to the API.

Hi again Danny,

Yes I am already trading on my VALR spot trader , trading USDTZAR as well as USDCZAR and have open positions trading on both.

I did already create an API token and key and secret.

So I need to know which values go where to authenticate which array of variables along with the Header to authenticate my subaccount which enables futures trading to where automation trading using the indicator strategies on TradeView, noting that the Signature and subaccount ID are only generated after the sha512 HMAC process.

I,my glad if each point of crucial field values of all the variables and headers can give a Response code 200 OK ! to the process for all public interests .

Thanks Danny.

Paul Macques.
