Hi there,

It is not very clear to me what are you looking for but if you are looking to bypass the OAuth authentication, you can generate your own tokens from the Playground area.

its not normal for an API to have an interactive user step. Oauth 2.0 has a version called client_credentials which allow programs to log on without human intervention. Support for this is what I am looking for. But because you dont have it, i can't use Open API. And so I will just use the FIX API.

you could suggest this to your openapi programmers.

yes it was down

cTrader crashed at 8.33am during NY open. It crashed the desktop AND the FIX API. So the price service was down.

Not sure when it came back but it was a long time so I gave up. Does this happen much? I guess since they are UK based they thought they could do an update in the middle of the night (12:33am UK time) and noone would notice.

RE: RE: RE:

if any one finds it in the future, the MarketDataRequest is broken, the field orders are defined wrong (ROFL). I just replaced it with my own class:

class BidAskMarketDataRequest(RequestMessage):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__("V", config)

    def _getBody(self):
        fields = []
        fields.append(f"262={self.MDReqID}")
        fields.append(f"263=1")
        fields.append(f"264=1")
        fields.append(f"265=1")
        fields.append(f"146=1")
        fields.append(f"55={self.Symbol}")
        fields.append(f"267=2")
        fields.append(f"269=0")
        fields.append(f"269=1")

        return f"{self.delimiter.join(fields)}"

and it works fine now.

        mr.MarketDepth=1

did they fix this?

Looking to consider cTrader FIX. Did they give you a solution? What did you do?

Thanks. How often is Server.Time updated? Does it come in the tick packet from the server or is it simulated from somewhere else?

Its a basic requirement of any forex API.

2 years and all your features yet noone has thought that an algo trader would want to launch a bot programatically?
