RE:

Hi,

I can't really follow the answer, what is new in openapi 2.0? What is the difference or new? Why openapi 2.0 created?

Hi tetra,

As I said above, Open API v2.0 has not been officially released yet. Documentation has not been completed. For the sample, you will need to send me your application credentials and the token you use at connect@spotware.com to check.

Best Regards,

RE:

Hi,

What is new with the openapi 2.0? Is there a documentation for that?

The Open_API_2._0_Sample 'Get Account List' hang permanently, does the sample or the openapi 2.0 in alpha/beta status?

Hi hsbcstor,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Regarding your questions.

1) Open API v2.0 has not been officially released yet, however it has been deployed on production servers and being tested and used by some major partners. The message you receive indicates that you are not using the correct proxy. Can you please advise which proxy do you use?

2) Yes you can use FIX API with demo accounts.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Futures are specific to the USA market. CFDs are more common to the European markets. To trade futures, the brokers has to have their main office in the USA with affiliates in Europa. So far not many brokers in the USA has picked up on cAlgo or cTrader. We would love to have futures as well presented by the liquid providers in the platform. This will surely happen as the Spotware Team has already included futures as a possibility for brokers. It's up to the broker's to introduce futures within the platform.

There is no staff here, I never received answer from the forum.

Try to reach them on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ctrader

You need to reach a level higher then the support staff, so somebody take responsibility.

Stop loss, and take profit orders are still not supported, is that correct? Can you add those?

For consistency reason you could make historical data available for FIX users, so there would be no need to code in multiple api.

RE: where is error n this example

The  / Order Status Request (MsgType(35)=H) /  is for query an existing order, so obviously your code will not work since the ClOrdID does not exists.

Tag 34 is sequence number, every time you send a message, the sequence number should be increased by 1.

Try to reach someone competent if you can:

their regular support give only canned answers, and might not even understand what the problem is.

Hi

Thank you for your explanation. If however this fix works without SSL it does not interest me such a flawed system.

Thanks for the help

Ps.

I think it display certs info (but maybe on 443 port I see in monday.)

 

        static void DisplayCertificateInformation(SslStream stream)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Certificate revocation list checked: {0}", stream.CheckCertRevocationStatus);

            X509Certificate localCertificate = stream.LocalCertificate;
            if (stream.LocalCertificate != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Local cert was issued to {0} and is valid from {1} until {2}.",
                    localCertificate.Subject,
                    localCertificate.GetEffectiveDateString(),

Hi tetra I know but:

1) I dont know how check message body length (Which part)

-The fix message body length is wrong in the example

 

2) Checksum this example:

https://github.com/fxstar/Chash/blob/master/FIX4.4/Checksum.cs

string message = "8=FIX.4.1|9=61|35=A|34=1|49=EXEC|52=20121105-23:24:06|"
    + "56=BANZAI|98=0|108=30|";
message = message.Replace('|', '\u0001');
byte[] messageBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(message);
for (int i = 0; i < message.Length; i++)
    total += messageBytes[i];
 
int checksum = total % 256;
string checksumStr = checksum.ToString().PadLeft(3, '0');

 

3) if I check ssl there was on server(multicard ssl)  why i can't use SSL?

 

Thanks for the help

 

tetra said:

Hi mindbreaker,

Few notes about your code:

-The fix message body length is wrong in the example

-The fix message checksum number is also wrong

-Use proper time: /52=/ DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMdd-hh:mm:ss.fff")

-Since there is no ssl, use client.GetStream() directly

-Do not forget to change the separator / .Replace('|', '\u0001') /

if you fix these, your code will work.

RE:

Use Replace('|', (char)1) on the strings that you want to send.

With the example below:

"8=FIX.4.4|9=102|35=A|34=1|49=fxpro.9910892|50=Quote|52=20131129-15:40:10.276|56=cServer|98=0|108=30|141=Y|553=1047|554=PASSWORD|10=140|".Replace('|', (char)1)

RE: RE: Fix SSL

No SSL certificate provided, without that it is not possible to use secure SSL connection.

Without SSL the price can be intercepted and twisted. This gives the possibility for the broker to use a virtual dealer plugin type software.

ianj said:

You got a good point there about SSL - the only time i have ever seen a non SSL connection is within a data centre where the endpoints are physically known and the routing is dedicated or at least private 

Am sure you can find a FIX engine in C#

Try looking here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickFIX

Thanks

I need example with C# and SSL (Financial app whitout ssl its stupid).

I don't like Java and Android but:

You can show example.

Nice day

RE: RE: RE: RE:

Tell me more, why can't I just read the socket and parse the messages? It is never too late to learn.

I see somebody already give it a try: /forum/fix-api/10251

ianj said:

Haha - If you don't THINK an external library is necessary, then it is 

The synchchronisation issues alone ensure that 

Any of the quickfix* implementations should work without a problem once you work out the spotware specifics and limitations

I don't think external library is necessary, but if you have an example with that, could you copy paste a kick-start snippet? Login and subscribe quote/depth?

Thanks,

RE: RE: RE: RE:

Are you using that library? Do you have a snippet to share?

You need a FIX library, and that site implements one with source code and working examples.
