Auto-Sync Transactions with tiger brokers

Q&A
1

Hi @evankoh,

  1. Can I check if Auto-Sync Transactions with tiger brokers are still in the pipeline since the auto sync with uSmart has been deprecated?

  2. I’m looking forward to this feature and would use tiger brokers more often if it is implemented. Also, will it be available to users who created tiger brokers account before the tiger broker x stockscafe collaboration was up?

Auto-Sync Transactions
Personally, I trade options regularly and manually entering options trades is definitely a pain since it has more fields (i.e. strike price and expiry date) than normal buy/sell transactions.

Although it is not released yet, we are actually currently working with Tiger brokers’ engineers to set up auto-sync with them (just like with uSmart) so there is no need to manually enter trades if you use Tiger brokers.

Hi @kendo

Yes, we still want to auto-sync with Tigers. Sorry, it got delayed because I am working on other things.

As I have yet to do implement, I am not sure if they would only allow users I referred or anyone. For uSmart, they only allowed users I referred :frowning:

Cheers,
Evan

Great to know it’s still in the plans!

Didn’t understand why uSmart allowed only users you referred to have auto sync, maybe you can raise this with tiger brokers to support why it should be made available to all users and increase the likelihood of success for this collaboration to auto sync transactions.

Additionally, if it’s available to existing tiger broker users like us, I would be more than willing to transact on tiger brokers as one of my primary brokers (albeit not exclusively, but definitely more).

Thank you!

Hi Evan,
Can I check if it’s still in the pipeline? Thanks!

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that I want to do it. No as in not within the next 1-2 months. I have been busy with many things (including some personal mishaps :frowning: )

Hey Evan, thanks for the update! Hope you are doing better after the mishaps!

Hi there,

Thanks for checking in again. What I can say is that it is in my near term TODO list now.

Aim is to roll it out by Q1 (end of March). Will keep you updated.

Sorry to delay it for so long.

Cheers,
Evan

Hi Kendo,

Thank you for always keeping me honest :slight_smile:

Let me give a simple updates. There are two ways to pull transaction data with Tiger.

  1. Investors/Traders/Quants directly using Tiger API. This requires you to write/execute some codes → https://quant.itigerup.com/openapi/en/python/overview/introduction.html

  2. Via platforms like StocksCafe where users need to give permissions to the platforms. This requires you to do nothing except log in and agree to give permissions to StocksCafe → https://developer.itigerup.com/docs/openapi/repository/7/markdown/master/introduction/docs/overview.md

I have actually done point 1 successfully recently and been pulling my own transactions and updating it into StocksCafe automatically.

At the same time, I have been trying to do point 2 but somehow I kept facing issues (personally I like to blame poor documentation with no/little examples). I have been asking questions to Tiger engineers but the progress been slow there.

So, if you are comfortable writing/executing some codes, then I can open it up for you to upload your transaction data into StocksCafe. If not, then you might still have to wait a few more weeks :frowning:

Cheers,
Evan

Hi Evan,

Did you manage to make any headway on this with tiger? (Something like Longbridge if possible)

Not rushing you, just considering to use Longbridge as my main broker for the auto sync function if Tiger isn’t helpful to address your queries.

Excited to try it this weekend! Thank you!

@kendo Yes, Tiger is the next target :slight_smile:
