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.

    • As the banking crisis seems to abate and the price of gold is coming off, AUD/USD is expected to resume its descent from its February highs. We would thus like to short AUD/USD at $0.6665 with a stop-loss at $0.6760 and a downside target at $0.6175.   Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Monday 27 March 2023           
    • EUR/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/USD volatility is on the wane Outlook on EUR/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/USD likely to calm down following last week’s volatility.  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Monday 27 March 2023  EUR/USD hovers above support EUR/USD’s sharp decline from last week’s $1.0929 high amid worries surrounding Deutsche Bank’s double-digit fall in its share price, leading to flight-to-quality flows into the US dollar, pushed the cross to Friday’s low at $1.0714, to marginally below the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.0736, before closing above it late last week. On Monday morning the currency pair is trying to remain above the moving average and the March tentative trendline at $1.0742. While this is the case, the mid-February high at $1.0804 may be revisited. Minor resistance above $1.0804 can be spotted between Thursday’s low at $1.0825 and Friday’s intraday high at $1.0837. Where a drop through Friday’s low at $1.0714 to be seen, however, the early March high at $1.0695 would be eyed. Source: IT-Finance.com EUR/GBP’s slide from last week’s £0.8865 high shows no sign of stopping just yet EUR/GBP’s rally to Thursday’s £0.8865 high has been followed by the last few days descent to Friday’s low at £0.8777 as the euro weakened due to the banking crisis surrounding Germany’s largest bank Deutsch Bank. A fall through £0.8777 would likely engage the February low at £0.8755. Resistance can be found at Thursday’s £0.8814 low and also comes in along the 55-day SMA at £0.8834 and at the 15 March high at £0.8843. Source: IT-Finance.com GBP/USD hovers below last week’s high at $1.2343 GBP/USD’s advance stalled at Thursday’s $1.2343 high with it dropping to $1.2191 before stabilising. Provided that this low underpins, the 24 January low and mid-February high at $1.2263 to $1.227 may be revisited, a rise above which would lead to the $1.2343 high seen last week being back in the frame. Only and advance above Thursday’s high at $1.2343 would push the December and January highs at $1.2446 to $1.2448 to the fore. Below Friday’s low at $1.2191 meanders the 55-day SMA at $1.2154 which may act as support, were it to be revisited. Source: IT-Finance.com
