Problem with multiple requests
11 Jan 2022, 17:24

Hi,

I have a problem with receiving responses from multiple requests in Python (eg. ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq and ProtoOAGetTrendbarsRes). The example on the Github works fine with a single request (https://github.com/spotware/OpenApiPy/blob/main/samples/ConsoleSample/main.py). But, if you add multiple requests it is messing up and onMessageReceived callback does not work properly anymore. To get it just duplicate row 284 to execute command "commands[command](*parameters)" twice. Any recommendations?

Hi,

I just tested the console app, I created a new copy of sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq method and called it from original one, the code looks like this (line 186):

    def sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId = None):
        request = ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq()
        request.ctidTraderAccountId = currentAccountId
        request.period = ProtoOATrendbarPeriod.Value(period)
        request.fromTimestamp = int((datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(weeks=int(weeks))).timestamp()) * 1000
        request.toTimestamp = int(datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()) * 1000
        request.symbolId = int(symbolId)
        deferred = client.send(request, clientMsgId = clientMsgId)
        deferred.addErrback(onError)
        sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq2(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId)

    def sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq2(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId = None):
        request = ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq()
        request.ctidTraderAccountId = currentAccountId
        request.period = ProtoOATrendbarPeriod.Value(period)
        request.fromTimestamp = int((datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(weeks=int(weeks))).timestamp()) * 1000
        request.toTimestamp = int(datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()) * 1000
        request.symbolId = int(symbolId)
        deferred = client.send(request, clientMsgId = clientMsgId)
        deferred.addErrback(onError)

Then I sent a ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq with these parameters: 1 D1 1

Here is the response:

As you can see I received two responses.

RE:

thanks for response. I have noticed that first run is ok, problem occurs after another execution. Could you try execute sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq multiple times and check if it is ok?

 

I have another issue, is it normal that some of  trendbars are missing in historical data for EURUSD on M1? I am using a demo account from the IC Markets.

Hi,

I tested sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq by calling it 5 times in a row, here is the result:

The code I used:

    def sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId = None, numberOfCalls = 0):
        if numberOfCalls == 5:
            return
        request = ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq()
        request.ctidTraderAccountId = currentAccountId
        request.period = ProtoOATrendbarPeriod.Value(period)
        request.fromTimestamp = int((datetime.datetime.utcnow() - datetime.timedelta(weeks=int(weeks))).timestamp()) * 1000
        request.toTimestamp = int(datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()) * 1000
        request.symbolId = int(symbolId)
        deferred = client.send(request, clientMsgId = clientMsgId)
        deferred.addErrback(onError)
        numberOfCalls += 1
        sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId, numberOfCalls)

Regarding missing data, no, its not normal, most probably something is wrong with your code.

Please check the limits on documentation: https://spotware.github.io/open-api-docs/messages/#protooagettrendbarsreq

If you ask for more data than allowed you have to send multiple requests.

RE: RE: RE:

ok, I have checked it. That recurrency works fine for the first time and response comes immediately. Run it again from the menu and response does come randomly.

 

Regarding missing trendbars please try this one:

Execution: ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq 1 M1 1    

def sendProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq(weeks, period, symbolId, clientMsgId = None):
        request = ProtoOAGetTrendbarsReq()
        request.ctidTraderAccountId = currentAccountId
        request.period = ProtoOATrendbarPeriod.Value(period)
        request.fromTimestamp = 1578362820*1000  # 2020-01-07 02:07:00 GMT
        request.toTimestamp = 1578363000*1000  # 2020-01-07 02:10:00 GMT
        request.symbolId = int(symbolId)
        deferred = client.send(request, clientMsgId = clientMsgId)
        deferred.addErrback(onError)

The "2020-01-07 02:09:00" is missing in my response.

Hi,

I send several requests by using console app and it's working fine on my system:

RE:

ok, it seems to work well on your system.

 

Could you please check missing trendbar with timestamps?

        request.fromTimestamp = 1578362820*1000  # 2020-01-07 02:07:00 GMT
        request.toTimestamp = 1578363000*1000  # 2020-01-07 02:10:00 GMT

The bar data can be missed if there was no incoming price during that bar period, so it looks like the price didn't changed from previous bar close to this bar close.
