FIX API crash(usually after 1-20 minutes) : An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
07 Jan 2022, 23:53

Hi All,

My FIX API crash(usually after 1-20 minutes). (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)

Unfortunately I cannot figure out the reason as no text included in the logout message. This is how the logout message looks like:

8=FIX.4.4|9=73|35=5|34=19|49=demo.icmarkets.8256245|52=20220107-16:22:07.500|56=cServer|10=023|session:FIX.4.4:demo.icmarkets.8256245->cServer:TRADE

Sometimes it is doing it every 1-2 minutes, sometimes it works for 30 minutes, regadless if I use ICMarkets demo or cTrader demo. I have tried it on both my local machine and on VPS, the result is the same,so I assume it is not an internet connection issue. I am using QuickFix/n and my app connects to around 50-80 symbols simulteously.

Does anyone have any idea why is it doing this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

This is how my config file looks like for cTrader demo:

I just tried it again. It took me maybe a minute to get disconnected. I have attached my logs. If you see something weird, please let me know. Again, I am connected to around 80 symbols and use only one session for quotes and one for trades. How many symbols did you connect?

These are the last few messages before it disconnected.

Hi,

Does it happen only when you subscribe to 80 symbols or it happens always?

Can you try without subscribing to any symbol or just subscribe to 1 symbol, see if it gets disconnected or not.

I just tried it with 5 symbols, and it has been working perfectly for 2 hours so far.

-Is there a limitation on how many symbols can I connect to or how many messages can I recieve?

-Or maybe there are some limitations of the demo accounts?

-Should connect to one symbol per session only and have 80 different sessions?

-ReconnectInterval=900000, I see that people usually set it to around 20. Could this be the problem?

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about limitations in the document, so if anyone knows anything about it, please share.

Hi,

I'm not aware of any limitation on number of symbols you can subscribe.

Maybe you are not processing fast enough the incoming data and your buffer gets overflow.

CPU consumption is below 2%, I think in that case I should have got a heartbeat missed message.

Hi,

I tested on our QuickFIXn console sample, I subscribed to 200 symbols and waited for an hour, no disconnection and it's still running.

To subscribe on multiple symbols on console sample change the code of its ExecuteAction method to this:

        private static async void ExecuteAction(char action, string[] fields)
        {
            switch (action)
            {
                case '1':
                    SendNewOrderSingle(fields);

                    break;

                case '2':
                    SendCancelOrder(fields);

                    break;

                case '3':
                    SendReplaceOrder(fields);

                    break;

                case '4':
                    //SendMarketDataRequest(fields, true);
                    for (int i = 1; i < 200; i++)
                    {
                        SendMarketDataRequest(new[] {i.ToString(), "n"}, true);

                        await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(1000);
                    }
                    break;

                case '5':
                    SendMarketDataRequest(fields, false);

                    break;

                case '6':
                    SendOrderMassStatusRequest(fields);

                    break;

                case '7':
                    SendRequestForPositions(fields);

                    break;

                case '8':
                    SendSecurityListRequest(fields);

                    break;

                case '9':
                    SendOrderStatusRequest(fields);

                    break;
            }
        }

Then enter this command:  4|1|n

RE:

I tried your application. It was running perfectly from 2022-01-12 12:29:44.2000861 to 2022-01-12 13:32:24.2037626 but then it got disconnected, so it worked perfectly for a bit more than an hour only. (Username and password was hardcoded.)

This is the config file I was using:

Hi,

I run the console app again for 2 and half hours, and subscribed to 200 symbols, it worked fine without any disconnection.

FIX API crash(usually after 1-20 minutes) : An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Hi Amusleh,

I have registered 2 live accounts. For one(Pepperstone) it has been running for 10 hours without any problem, but for the otherone (ICMarkets) it keeps disconnecting. I have tried your console app again with the config file you provided and it disonnected after 3 minutes. (The two apps have been running parallel so I don't think this is an internet problem)

Is there someone here at Spotware who could take a look at it?

Or should I contact the broker?

Hi,

I tested again on a IC Market demo account today for 2 hours and 200 symbols, I didn't faced any issue.

If we can't replicate the issue how can we fix it? I have tested it and it works fine.

Hi Almulesh,

I have never said that the issue is on your side. I just would like to know the reason why your server closed the connection. Is there a way someone could take a look at it?

Unfortunately I recieve no incoming message about the reason why it is terminated.

It could be a hearbeat issue or something else, I don't know.

Hi,

Can you please tell us which proxy/host/port you are using and the disconnection timestamped logs?

If someone is facing with the same issue, it looks like It was the VPS. There was nothing wrong with my code. There are some brokers who don't really like some (particularly fast)VPS and they keep closing the connection every few minutes. Once I switched to a slower VPS everything worked perfectly. We are probably talking about milliseconds here so not a big deal for me, but if you are doing some HFT stuff it could be a problem for you.
