[Programming Help] - Accessing TradingActivityLog file data in real time

View Count: 619

I'd like to access the TradeActivityLog data files in real time to pull execution data into a python app. This will be a read only application, nothing will be written to the files.

Is there somewhere that summarizes the custom binary code structure for these files and, if so, will reading the file with a separate program do anything to compromise the file?

Thanks.

The trade activity log file format is not documented. But you can access the order fills using the DTC Protocol Server:
DTC Protocol

Using the DTC protocol server is the recommended method when working with an external program. You can use a simple socket connection and JSON encoding.
