small update, the timestamp is not the problem. When I'm setting in to my local time, I'm getting a time error. So the previous values I've send as timestamp are correct

Thanks for the info regarding the pdf. I've changed my code to send it like specified in the pdf documentation.

8=FIX.4.4|9=131|35=A|34=1|49=ctrader.3210745|50=QUOTE|57=QUOTE|52=20190129-10:06:21.445|56=CSERVER|98=0|108=30|553=3210745|554=PWD|141=Y|10=039|

Now, I'm not getting an error message but just getting disconnected. Regarding to the doc, I would get a message with invalid fields if there are some missing or wrong. I'm connecting btw to port 5201 of h47.p.ctrader.com.

What message would I get if the credentials are wrong?

Hi abierbrauer,

When credentials are wrong, you will receive no response. To stay connected, you need to send heartbeats every x seconds as defined by tag 108.

Hello Panagiotis,

first of all thanks for you help. I know that I have to send the heartbeats, but I cannot send them because directly after sending the logon message, the connection gets closed.

I orderd the tags and still the same results. The credentials I'm using are

From the cTrader software
---------------------------------------
Host name: h47.p.ctrader.com 
(Current IP address 212.83.157.16 can be changed without notice)
Port: 5211 (SSL), 5201 (Plain text)
Password: ***** (a/c 3210745 password)
SenderCompID: ctrader.3210745
TargetCompID: cServer
SenderSubID: QUOTE
-------------------

In the code
Username: 3210745
Passwort: the main password of the account, no api_token or something else


just for reference the logon message:

Logon 8=FIX.4.4|9=125|35=A|49=ctrader.3210745|56=CSERVER|34=1|52=20190129-12:26:40.325|57=QUOTE|50=QUOTE|98=0|108=30|553=3210745|554=PWDCHANGED|10=255|

What other problems could occur due to failed login? 'The logon message seems to be ok, so it could be only the account itself?

Hi abierbrauer,

Do you receive any message at all after logon message? If yes, can you post it? If not, then probably your credentials are wrong. Try resetting your password via FIX API section in Settings and try again.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you man!! I didn't notice the change password button in the FIX API dialog! Now after changing the password I'm getting a logon message back and it's successfull! ;)

Thanks again Panagiotis

For people who want to use nodejs, here's some example code for login via nodejs and fixparser:

import FIXParser, {
  Field,
  Fields,
  Messages,
  Side,
  OrderTypes,
  HandlInst,
  TimeInForce,
  EncryptMethod
} from 'fixparser';

const fixParser = new FIXParser();
const SENDER = 'cTrader.ID';
const USERNAME = 'USERNAME';
const TARGET = 'CSERVER';
const PASSWORD = 'YUR_PASSWORD';

function sendLogon() {
  const logon = fixParser.createMessage(
      new Field(8,'FIX.4.4'), // 8 	BeginString
      new Field(Fields.MsgType, Messages.Logon), // 35 	MsgType
      new Field(Fields.SenderCompID, SENDER), // 49 	SenderCompID
      new Field(Fields.TargetCompID, TARGET), // 56 	TargetCompID
      new Field(Fields.MsgSeqNum, fixParser.getNextTargetMsgSeqNum()), // 34 	MsgSeqNum
      new Field(Fields.SendingTime, fixParser.getTimestamp()), // 52 	SendingTime
      new Field(Fields.TargetSubID,'QUOTE'), // 57
      new Field(Fields.SenderSubID,'QUOTE'), // 50 	SenderSubID
      new Field(Fields.EncryptMethod, EncryptMethod.None), // 98 	EncryptMethod
      new Field(Fields.HeartBtInt, 30), // 108 	HeartBtInt
      new Field(Fields.Username, USERNAME), // 553 	Username
      new Field(Fields.Password, PASSWORD), // 554 	Password
      new Field(Fields.ResetSeqNumFlag, 'Y')
  );
  const messages = fixParser.parse(logon.encode());
  console.log('sending message', messages[0].description, messages[0].string.replace(/\x01/g, '|'));
  fixParser.send(logon);
}

fixParser.connect({ host: 'h47.p.ctrader.com', port: 5201, protocol: 'tcp', sender: SENDER, target: TARGET, fixVersion: 'FIX.4.4' });

fixParser.on('open', () => {
  console.log('Open');

  sendLogon();

});
fixParser.on('message', (message) => {
  console.log('received message', message.description, message.string.replace(/\x01/g, '|'));
});
fixParser.on('error', (error) => {
  console.log('received error', error);
});

fixParser.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Disconnected');
});
