Accessing 100KReal server with API

forexecutor · #1 (**permalink**) 07-01-2009, 02:03 PM

we are using your API to connect our ForeXecutor platform through the MiniReal5 server only. we recently have had an account set up on the 100KReal server and can not get the ForeXecutor to log into this account. It is saying wrong username and password. We need the socket information of this server. What info can you provide to us so that we can connect to the 100KReal server?

You will need to request a separate connection for this new account. Please contact your sales rep.

Oh pardon me, I thought this was in the FIX forum. Can you log into TradeStation with this username/password? There should be no difference in connecting.

yes we can log into the FXCM trading station with this account. when i log into it a box pops up that i have never seen asking me to select which trading session i want to log into. when i choose MINIREAL6 it says wrong username and password. when i choose 100KREAL it logs in fine.

Hmm, this sounds like a backoffice issue you will need to take up with sales afterall. Sounds like they have given you the same username in 2 different systems, but both have different passwords.

Its best to have different logins. Otherwise you will need to make some change to your code, to do a simliar trading session selection in code

Also as reference to do this in code instead of GATEWAY.login(props)

Code:

//get array of possible sessions
TradingSessionDesc[] tradingSessions = GATEWAY.getTradingSessions(props);

//select one
GATEWAY.openSession(selectedSession);
