RE:

Hi,

I can get a netting account with my broker IC Markets so can close trades out now :).

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Spotware,

 

It seems that netting accounts are impossible to find.  One easy way to make FIX operational on hedged accounts it to implement the Metatrader function OrderCloseBy in CTrader.  This allows longs to be closed against shorts without any charge.  If this were implemented I could at least use CAlgo or the connect API to clear the trades.

Cheers,

RE: Update

Hi,

Seems I forgot tag 50 in my messages leading to a number of problems.

Cheers.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to implement a FIX Interface for my algorithms.  I can't create a new order with the new order FIX message 'D'.  The response is a session level reject with a 'message unsupported' string.  I'm using an  IC-Markets demo account.

I send This:

8=FIX.4.4
  9=0137
  35=D
  49=icmarkets.3238203
  56=cServer 
34=2 
52=20160907-08:05:59.967
11=5 
55=1 
54=1 
60=20160907-08:05:59.967 
38=10000
  40=1 
44=1.12473
  59=3 
10=091

And get a reject:

8=FIX.4.4 
9=108 
35=3 
34=2 
49=cServer 
52=20160907-08:06:03.212
  56=icmarkets.3238203
45=2 
58=Unsupported message
  372=D
  373=11 
10=197

 

Any ideas what may be causing this?

 

Cheers.

Hi IanJ,

Thanks for the reply.  Nice to see its working for you.  I'm having to settle on a proxy in Amsterdam for my price feed at the moment.  I was wondering. Are you trading yet? have you figured out how to close trades with message 'D' or do Buys/Sells clear automatically at the end of each day like most institutional accounts?

Cheers,

Paul

RE:

This is not correct as with hedged accounts (only account available at this time) you just end up with a new order not a removal of the initial order.  This FIX implementation does not work as you can't close orders.

Dear Traders, 

Please be advised that in order to close order, you need to open the single order for the same symbol but with the opposite direction.  If you want to close the Buy order, you need to open the Sell order and vice versa.

RE: RE:

Tried again today and noticed I can't get price feed from London servers with message 'V' - get a reject even with my VPS in London.  I am able to get a price feed from servers in Australia where I am just fine.

Checked I have the right ports etc.

I wonder if any one else is having issues with this?

Update:  I changed Proxy servers and it worked fine.  London proxy worked but Sydney-5 has an issue.
