  hmacKey: <hmac_key>,
  hmacSecret: <hmac_secret>
});

context.connect()
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(context.myself.profile.username);

    // get the latest order book snapshot
    // for **Trades**, same as **OrderBook** below - just replace _OrderBook_ with _Trades_
    // for **Quote**, no parameter is needed.
    context.OrderBook.getLatest({currency: 'HKD'})
      .then(function(orderbook) {
        // orderbook
      })
      .fail(function(error) {
        // error
      });

    // subscribe order book snapshot, interval in millisecond. 5000ms (5s) by default
    context.OrderBook.subscribe({ intervalInMs: 5000, currency: 'HKD'})
      .then(function() {
        // subscription done
      })
      .progress(function(orderbookUpdate) {
        // order book subscription update
      })
      .fail(function(error) {
        // order book subscription error
      });

    // just an example, to stop subscription after 20s

      context.OrderBook.unsubscribe({currency: 'HKD'});
    }, 20000);

    // load wallet
