Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
An InnovaTrading account
An API key from Dashboard Settings
Python 3.8+ or Node.js 18+ installed

​
Step 1: Install the SDK

pip install requests

​
Step 2: Get Market Data

First, fetch OHLC bars to analyze: 
import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
BASE_URL = "https://api.innova-trading.com"

# Fetch 500 bars of EURUSD H1
response = requests.get(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/external/bars",
    params={
        "symbol": "EURUSD",
        "timeframe": 60,
        "limit": 500
    },
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
)

bars = response.json()["bars"]
print(f"Fetched {len(bars)} bars")
print(f"Latest bar: {bars[-1]}")

{
  "success": true,
  "symbol": "EURUSD",
  "timeframe": 60,
  "count": 500,
  "bars": [
    {
      "bar_number": 0,
      "time": 1765540800,
      "datetime_utc": "2025-12-12T04:00:00Z",
      "open": 1.1732,
      "high": 1.1740,
      "low": 1.1725,
      "close": 1.1738,
      "volume": 2500
    }
  ]
}

​
Step 3: Create a Signal

Now let’s send a BUY signal with Stop Loss and Take Profits: 
# Get the latest bar
latest_bar = bars[-1]
bar_time = latest_bar["time"]  # IMPORTANT: Use this timestamp!
entry_price = latest_bar["close"]

# Calculate levels
stop_loss = entry_price - 0.0030  # 30 pips
tp1 = entry_price + 0.0030  # 1:1 RR
tp2 = entry_price + 0.0060  # 1:2 RR
tp3 = entry_price + 0.0090  # 1:3 RR

# Create signal with multiple points
signal = {
    "symbol": "EURUSD",
    "timeframe": 60,
    "indicator_name": "My First Signal",
    "points": [
        {
            "time": bar_time,
            "type": "low",
            "price": entry_price,
            "label": "BUY",
            "color": "#3b82f6",
            "shape": "arrowUp",
            "size": 2
        },
        {
            "time": bar_time,
            "type": "low",
            "price": stop_loss,
            "label": "SL",
            "color": "#ef4444",
            "shape": "square",
            "size": 1
        },
        {
            "time": bar_time,
            "type": "high",
            "price": tp1,
            "label": "TP1",
            "color": "#22c55e",
            "shape": "circle",
            "size": 1
        },
        {
            "time": bar_time,
            "type": "high",
            "price": tp2,
            "label": "TP2",
            "color": "#22c55e",
            "shape": "circle",
            "size": 1
        },
        {
            "time": bar_time,
            "type": "high",
            "price": tp3,
            "label": "TP3",
            "color": "#22c55e",
            "shape": "circle",
            "size": 1
        }
    ],
    "metadata": {
        "signal_type": "BUY",
        "strategy": "Quick Start Example"
    }
}

# Submit the signal
response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/api/external/indicators/my_first_signal",
    json=signal,
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
)

result = response.json()
print(f"Signal submitted! {result['points_received']} points")
print(f"Expires at: {result['expires_at']}")

{
  "success": true,
  "indicator_id": "my_first_signal",
  "points_received": 5,
  "symbol": "EURUSD",
  "timeframe": 60,
  "expires_at": "2025-12-13T12:00:00Z",
  "message": "Indicator data stored successfully"
}
