Hi jam584St1,

I do not see any problem in the message. Are you sure there are open positions on this account?

Best Regards,

Yes I'm sure. I have 3 opened positions by FIX and one by cTrader. I've tried with PosMaintRptID, but still I get nothing. At least there must be an answer that "no open positions found that match criteria" by Position Report, but it is not. I don't understand why there is no answer at all.

Can you check Request For Positions from your side? I want to know it does not work only for me or not.

Hi jam584St1,

It works fine on my side and I do not see any problem in your message. Unfortunately, I cannot offer further advise since I do not have access to your account neither to the code you are using. Did you try reproducing with the sample application? If you can reproduce it with a demo account, then please send me the credentials at support@ctrader.com to have a look.

Best Regards,

Hello. I've tested Request For Positions by your sample application. It's worked fine, but I'm not getting the same result from my script.

Why server send me ResendRequest? What could be the problem? I use port 5202 for trade to connect server. Could this be the cause?

Hi jam584St1,

If you get a resend message from the server, then probably you have a problem in the message sequence numbering (tag 34). Make sure that you implement message sequence numbering properly.

I've solved the issue. The problem was that BodyLength and CheckSum in my script have been incorrectly calculating for only this type of message. Thank you for your support.
