Rust Examples

This directory contains example Rust programs demonstrating how to use the BinaryOptionsTools library.

Prerequisites​

  1. Rust and Cargo installed (Install Rust)
  2. Add binary_options_tools to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
binary_options_tools = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
tokio-stream = "0.1"

Getting Your SSID​

  1. Go to PocketOption
  2. Open Developer Tools (F12)
  3. Go to Application/Storage → Cookies
  4. Find the cookie named ssid
  5. Copy its value and replace "your-session-id" in the examples

Running the Examples​

Each example can be run using:

cargo run --example <example_name>

For example:

cargo run --example balance
cargo run --example buy
cargo run --example subscribe_symbol

Or compile and run them directly:

rustc basic.rs && ./basic

Available Examples​

basic.rs​

Basic example showing:

  • Client initialization
  • Getting account balance
  • Getting server time
  • Checking if account is demo

Run:

cargo run --example basic

balance.rs​

Simple example showing how to get your account balance.

Run:

cargo run --example balance

buy.rs​

Example demonstrating:

  • Placing a buy trade
  • Checking balance before and after
  • Calculating profit/loss

Run:

cargo run --example buy

sell.rs​

Example demonstrating:

  • Placing a sell trade
  • Checking balance before and after
  • Calculating profit/loss

Run:

cargo run --example sell

check_win.rs​

Example showing:

  • Placing trades
  • Checking trade results manually
  • Using automatic result checking with timeout

Run:

cargo run --example check_win

subscribe_symbol.rs​

Example demonstrating:

  • Subscribing to real-time candle data
  • Processing candle streams
  • Displaying OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data

Run:

cargo run --example subscribe_symbol

Important Notes​

Connection Initialization​

Always wait 5 seconds after creating the client to allow the WebSocket connection to establish:

let client = PocketOption::new("your-session-id").await?;
tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(5)).await;  // Critical!

Error Handling​

All examples use proper error handling with Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>. Make sure to handle errors appropriately in production code.

Async Runtime​

All examples use the Tokio async runtime with the #[tokio::main] macro. Make sure your Cargo.toml includes:

[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Common Assets​

  • EURUSD_otc - Euro/US Dollar (OTC)
  • GBPUSD_otc - British Pound/US Dollar (OTC)
  • USDJPY_otc - US Dollar/Japanese Yen (OTC)
  • AUDUSD_otc - Australian Dollar/US Dollar (OTC)

Use _otc suffix for over-the-counter (24/7 available) assets.
