FIX API login response: 58=RET_NO_SUCH_LOGIN
07 May 2024, 10:56

Hi - new to the FIX API. Hoping someone can please point out my mistake.

I'm using Python, have installed the API and trying to run the sample app.

My input and output are as follows:

Command (ex: Help): LogonRequest ResetSeqNum=Y
If response message not arrived keep pressing 'Enter'

Sent:  8=FIX.4.4|9=129|35=A|49=demo.ctrader.XXXXXXX|56=cServer|57=QUOTE|50=QUOTE|34=1|52=20240507-10:48:02|98=0|108=30|141=Y|553=XXXXX|554=XXXXX|10=228|

Received:  8=FIX.4.4|9=109|35=5|34=1|49=cServer|50=QUOTE|52=20240507-10:48:02.928|56=demo.ctrader.XXXXXXX|57=QUOTE|58=RET_NO_SUCH_LOGIN|10=164|

Disconnected, reason:  [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionDone'>: Connection was closed cleanly.
]
Connected

I'm using the account number as the username and the password I've generated by selecting ‘change password’. Both, from cTrader settings. I've made 100% sure this is as it should be in my config file, as well as all the other settings provided. The rest of the config file looks as follows (username / password removed):

{
 "Host": "demo1.p.ctrader.com",
 "Port": 5201,
 "SSL": false,
 "Username": "",
 "Password": "",
 "BeginString": "FIX.4.4",
 "SenderCompID": "demo.ctrader.XXXXXXX",
 "SenderSubID": "QUOTE",
 "TargetCompID": "cServer",
 "TargetSubID": "QUOTE",
 "HeartBeat": "30"
}

What am I getting wrong? Please help fellow cTraders!

Many Thanks

F.

Hi there,

The message indicates that the account number you use does not exist. Can you share a screenshot of your cTrader's FIX API form?

Best regards,

Hi Fred,

Can you share the complete FIX message you sent including the account number? You seem to be doing something wrong there.

Hi - the fix message is generated by the Python example programme provided by cTrader, and is in my first message. I've only removed the username and password, which is configured in the config file. Apologies, but am I missing something?

 

Cheers

Hi Panagiotis

I've figured out why this is not working. The details from the web-based application for the broker is as per below. This works. However this is different to what I see in the desktop application when I view the details. The desktop details does not work. Do you know why they would show different information?

Kind Regards
Fred
