Poor documentation and example code #27

Open

Description

@FutureSharks

There is no real examples or documentation showing how to do some simple things, e.g.

  • Open a trade
  • Close a trade
  • Place stop loss order
  • etc

I know there is v20-python-samples but this is a very convoluted CLI written in python. Why would a developer want to reverse engineer a CLI tool in order to learn how to use this python package? It makes no sense.

Should I make a PR to add some readme files in a docs directory with some examples?

    Can't agree more with @FutureSharks. The quality of the documentation and examples is shockingly lacking. It would be great if @FutureSharks did make a PR to add some readme files in a docs directory with some examples

    Seriously I dont understand Oanda at all. Is like they are driving new customers away. The v20 api is not complete yet but when a new user registers he is giving a new account id that cant be used to access the v10 api for automated trading. Old users can still use the old api which is very comprehensive.

    A new user is forced to use the v20 restapi which there is no documentation and the api to is scanty. I think Oanda should allow everybody access to the old api

    As a new user, the overall impression v20 gave me at its current state as unprofessional and seems more like someone's hobby project rather than an actual product.

    This project is abandoned. Just use https://github.com/hootnot/oanda-api-v20 instead.
