Hello again ;)

So, I've fetched the convertion chain via the open api.

But is it really true, that if you want to convert GBPUSD to EURUSD you will have to use AUDCAD in the convertion chain ?

Regards, Alex

Hi again,

yeah you're right and I had it this way. Corrected it again and run into the same problem in another currency.

GBPAUD to EURUSD

I was thinking I simply had to use EURGBP to do the translation, but no AUDUSD is used to convert it to USD. That's my problem! I need to use ProtoOASymbolsForConversionReq to receive the complete convertion chain.

But thanks so far! At least, I'm not stuck anymore and can continue ;)

Sure, here we go:

Host: live.ctraderapi.com

Port: 5035

OpenAPI V2 

and I'm using the generated protobuf messages from Open-API-2.0-.Net-Sample.

The accounts are demo accounts on the live system.

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');
});

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?

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?

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
