RE: RE: RE: Request for Positions - not returning data for all open positions

response = s.recv(2048)

the line above is is probably an indication that you are not receiving messages in a loop or asynchronously and hence why you are not receiving the multiple messages being sent from server. You would need to rethink how you are writing your code and would also need to read field 9= to determine how much bytes you will need to receive or something along those lines. I have not used simplefix so don't know much about it but I have written application from scratch. 

You will need to rewrite your code so that you can read multiple messages from server in order to see other opened positions. My suggestion is to write from scratch as i found it easier to understand. 

could you share some code snippets of your code? That would be very usefull

Hi,

I don't see any code for how you may be reading from the server but are you sure you are reading all the responses from the server? Like reading in a loop or something? It could be that maybe you are just reading only the first message only? On my end I am able to receive all open positions back from server. tested on my app for up to 8 positions. 

Hm, Im using socket connection (python - combined with simplefix library)

The code for sending and receiving is:

```
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.connect((auth.SocketConnectHost, auth.T_SocketConnectPort))

parser = FixParser()

def request_for_positions():

message = FixMessage()

message.append_pair(8, "FIX.4.4")

message.append_pair(35, "AN")

message.append_pair(34, n)

message.append_pair(49, auth.SenderCompID)

message.append_utc_timestamp(52)

message.append_pair(56, auth.TargetCompID)

message.append_pair(57, "TRADE")

message.append_pair(50, "any_string")

message.append_pair(710, str(n))

message.remove(721)

parser.append_buffer(message.encode())

sent = parser.get_message()

s.send(message.encode())

response = s.recv(2048)

parser.append_buffer(response)

out = parser.get_message()

```

Thank you, can you also advise the host you are using for your FIX API connection?

sure, it is “h51.p.ctrader.com”

I've now also switched to a different (syggested in web ctrader) → “demo1.p.ctrader.com” . There is no difference

@PanagiotisCharalampous Should I expect some update here?

Hey,
I suggest using this to create messages:
 

this is my logon sample:
 

from simplefix import FixMessage, FixParser

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((auth.SocketConnectHost, auth.Q_SocketConnectPort))

parser = FixParser()

message = FixMessage()

message.append_pair(8, "FIX.4.4")
message.append_pair(35, "A")
message.append_pair(34, #SEQ_NUMBER_HERE)
message.append_pair(49, auth.SenderCompID)
message.append_utc_timestamp(52)
message.append_pair(56, auth.TargetCompID)
message.append_pair(57, 'QUOTE')
message.append_pair(98, "0")
message.append_pair(141, "Y")
message.append_pair(108, "30")
message.append_pair(553, auth.Username)
message.append_pair(554, auth.Password)

parser.append_buffer(message.encode())
sent = parser.get_message()
#print("logon request ", sent)

s.sendall(message.encode())
response = s.recv(5201)

parser.append_buffer(response)
out = parser.get_message()
#print("logon response2", out)

Uncomment the print statements to see what's coming out an in

Best of luck, python rules!

Try sending tags in diffrent order, like this:

8=FIX.4.4|9=100|35=AN|49=theBroker.12345|56=CSERVER|34=99|52=20170117- 10:09:54|50=any_string|57=TRADE|710=876316401|10=103|

This is a sample message from documentation and it is working for me.

Hi Wiktor,

Do you send heartbeats to keep the connection alive?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi,

No i do not send them, thought heartbeats are only needed in TRADE connection and unnecessary in QUOTE.

I will add them and let you know if it helped.

Thanks for the answer, btw it seems like we are the only ones posting in this FIX subforum. I appreciate your help a lot!
