Demo to Live
Demo to Live
24 Jan 2024, 17:29
I decided to move my python script from demo to live.
I made a deposit and changed my settings, ClientId,Secret,AccountId, accessToken and host(live.ctraderapi.com)
Every was looking OK(authentication and trendbar receive) until my script tried to open a new trade by calling ProtoOANewOrderReq
It seems OpenApi can open trades without problem in demo accounts but in live accounts cannot. I don't receive any error but in Ctrader I don't see any new order.
Is there a limitation in live accounts? Forex broker by default forbids the usage of open api in live accounts?
After your response I will communicate with my broker.

Finally I went live…
I communicated with the broker and they allowed the usage of the OpenApi on the live account and now my fully automated script can open trades.

Hi, I am having the same problem, I contacted my broker already but it seems they don't support the Open Api, can you advise which broker supports it?

Hi there,
Brokers can block the use of Open API. Also make sure that trading is allowed for your account. Your broker should enlighten you regarding this matter.
