vn.py XTP Support and the Difference Between Live and Historical Data
Summary
The forum exchange answers two practical questions about using vn.py for small retail stock investments and identifying its data sources. A reply says that vn.py offers support for the XTP trading interface, but access requires a third-party purchase. It also says that live market quotes are pushed through the interface, while Ricequant provides historical data as a separate data service.
This distinction helps users understand that a trading connection and a historical data provider serve different roles in a vn.py setup. The discussion does not explain account eligibility, minimum investment requirements, supported brokers or exchanges, interface costs, or how to configure the connection. It is a brief forum response rather than a full integration guide, so its claims may need confirmation against current platform and vendor documentation before a setup decision.
Key ideas
- The forum reply says vn.py supports the XTP interface through a separately purchased third-party offering.
- It distinguishes live quotes delivered through the trading interface from historical data supplied by Ricequant.
- The exchange does not provide details about retail account requirements or minimum investment sizes.
- Users would need further documentation for setup steps, costs, and current availability.
