RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

Thanks again - I understand how to calculate the LotSize value now.

Is there a field that returns the name of the units.

For example..

For UK100:

lotSizeName: '"indices"

For EURJPY:

LotSizeName: "EUR"

Many Thanks

Ac

Hi again,

And the other bit? Is there any way of getting the units for the Lot Size? ("Indices" for UK100  or "EUR" for EURJPY

Just divide the lotSize by 100.

RE:

ok - great thanks. So ctrader is just storing the lot size an INT on cTrader side.

And the other bit? Is there any way of getting the units for the Lot Size? ("Indices" for UK100  or "EUR" for EURJPY)

Many thanks

Hi there,

It's a technical decision taken by the team so that they do not have to deal with numbers with decimals and its the same for all symbols.

RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

Why 100? Is the same for all assets for all brokers on cTrader? 

I think this maybe the number of contracts (CFD's) in the lot - but is it always guaranteed to be 100 for all assets?

Is there any way of getting the units for the Lot Size? ("Indices" for UK100  or "EUR" for EURJPY)

Many Thanks

Hi there,

To make it simple, just divide everything by 100.

Did you mange to solve this? I am having the same issue.

The issue for me was the timeout being too short.

In the ProtoMessageReceiver class update the timeout.

private static final int TIMEOUT_WAITING_MSG = 2000;

Hi ac,

The message asks you to set the sequence number to 10 (36=10). Any change you are sending another message in between? 

Best Regards,

I found the issue. I am using QuickFixJ and there was an error saving the parsed response from the initial market order that seemed to cause a retry to send the message in the background.

Thanks again for your help pointing me in the right direction with the MsgSeqNum.

Hi ac,

cTrader FIX API does not support subscription to position updates. Regarding the position report issue, make sure that you are sending the correct message sequence number. You can also check our FIX API example on how to request for positions.
