First time connecting to cTrader via FIX
08 Feb 2021, 19:11


Hello All,

I am trying to establish a new FIX connection but receive the following error to my sent message;

Msg out (8=FIX.4.4 9=128 35=A 34=1 49=ctrader.3345429 52=20210208-17:02:35.607 56=CSERVER 57=TRADE 50=TRADE 98=0 108=30 141=Y 553=3345429 554=********** 10=254)

Msg in (8=FIX.4.4 9=103 35=5 34=1 49=CSERVER 50=TRADE 52=20210208-17:02:37.991 56=ctrader.3345429 57=TRADE 58=RET_INVALID_DATA 10=072)

Tag 58 is showing an issue.

Has anyone come across this when first connecting and can you advise was to the solution?

Many thanks in Advance.

Hi Dave,

Please make sure you are using the correct password. Try resetting it from the FIX API section of the settings.

cTrader FIX symbol ID

PanagiotisCharalampous,

You were absolutely correct, as soon as I created the password where the FIX settings were displayed we logged in. Thank you.

Now I find myself having to create new code to match cTrader FIX symbol ID to each currency pair.

Using a right click on the currency pair and searching the drop down there is no option for 'Information'

You wouldn't happen to have the......    cTrader FIX symbol ID - Currency Pair, list please?

Regards

Dave

Hi davehick,

You can get it using Security List Request (MsgType(35)=x). Check our Rules of Engagement.

This is not correct - you can't get the symbolid from the symbol using 35=x
