2 demo accounts through API (Python)


FatFoss

Question

Hello!
I have an issue by using two demo accounts. It seems that the server does not work correctly through the "ig-trading" library for Python. Request for 1st account has been sent to 2nd account and request for 2nd account has been sent to 1st account. Returns no positions. How can I control sessions at request time for each of the accounts?

Hi @FatFoss, could you please clarify if the issue is only occurring on the Python API, or if it is happening on the companion too?

Thanks - Arvin

It relates to Python API. There is no way to work with two different accounts in prallel in the companion, so everything works well there. The problem is when I start using multiple instances of the IGService() class from the "ig-trading" library. It seems that server confuses the requests when I send orders and I can not get positions (there are positions actually)

Did you get any further with this? I'm coding in c# and will have the same problem looking at the code, I'm going to try and copy the api to a new solution under a different name, so will need to do this for each extra account I want to connect to it seems

you need to switch account if you are using 1 api key with 2 accounts

So it's possible to have 2 api keys and connect to them independently?.

I had a look at the new authentication, I can't remember it exactly off the top of my head but it seemed like I could maybe get two independent conversation context or whatever it is.

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead. USDOLLAR (DXY) WEEKLY PRICE CHART – APRIL 28, 2022 {{THE_FUNDAMENTALS_OF_BREAKOUT_TRADING}} What is your view on the US Dollar – bullish or bearish?   Apr 28, 2022 | DailyFX Nick Cawley, Strategist
