Saxo OpenAPI GET /hist/v4/performance/summary

GET/hist/v4/performance/summaryversion v4Closed positions and history

Returns aggregated trade results and performance figures, such as accumulated profit or loss and win fraction, for a client or account over a period.

Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

Saxo lists Performance in two versions, v3 (/hist/v3/performance) and v4 (/hist/v4/performance); we list v4 as the newer one, but no deprecation notice for v3 was seen. Our page reading only confirmed AllTime as a StandardPeriod value; other values were not captured. FieldGroups example is a placeholder. TradeSummary sub fields not captured. Saxo also lists 404 and 503. Saxo's parameter table for this call has no required or optional column; the required flags here are our reading of Saxo's descriptions and example request, not markers on Saxo's page. Method, path and parameter names were re-read on Saxo's reference page for this call on 12 Oct 2026 and agree with this record. That page does not mark which parameters are required, so the required flags here were not re-checked, and the mock reply was not compared field by field.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Description
ClientKeyrequired, not confirmed	query	string	Client key; Saxo's page describes it as required.
StandardPeriod	query	string	Standard period, for example AllTime; use this or FromDate and ToDate.

FieldGroups	query	string	Metrics to return; Saxo encourages limiting them.

The required marks on this page are this site's reading of secondary material, as the note above says. Which fields the API insists on is not confirmed on the provider's own reference.
