[Financial News] LS Securities has launched the 'API Investment Strategy Center,' an integrated website where users can access the previously separate Open API and xingAPI services in one place.
According to the financial investment industry on the 1st, LS Securities has integrated its previously separate Windows-based xingAPI and web-based Open API websites. The new website features an AI assistant linked to ChatGPT. Users can enter their desired trading strategies in text, and the system will generate relevant program code. It also provides an API guide, including TR specifications, to help users build a trading environment based on LS Securities APIs with the assistance of AI.
The company has also prepared a three-step guide for API users, along with sample code in major programming languages such as Python, Java, and JavaScript. In addition, the center offers a simulated trading service for testing strategies in advance, WebSocket-based real-time market-price lookup, and Strategy Studio, which supports investment strategies such as golden crosses and Bollinger Bands.
To commemorate the website's launch, LS Securities is also holding a domestic stock commission discount event for Open API users through December 31. Customers who hold a non-face-to-face direct account, register for the Open API service, and apply for the event are eligible. The discount will take effect from the day after the application date.
An LS Securities official said, "We launched the API Investment Strategy Center to overcome the perception that API trading is difficult to access and provide an environment where anyone can turn their investment ideas into code and use them for investing."
Meanwhile, LS Securities announced in advance on the 21st of last month, in a notice about the launch of the API Investment Strategy Center, that it would integrate xingAPI and Open API under a single domain and provide starter kits and sample code for Python, Java, and JavaScript.
