[demo position total wrong]

In case you are wondering why this is happenlng:

The currency exchange rate bounces between a correct value and a ridiculous value. Therefore every time the currency rate is completely off, you see the numbers that are way off the expected values.

After a while the currency exchange rate drops back to the real value, and everything looks right, before going back to a ridiculous value.

While this happens in the demo account, there is nothing strange going on in the live acccount. There the currency exchange rate is correct and everything works fine there.

I know this information, since I am using the API to get market data, and there you get the exchange rate as information and I can see the value going back and forth between real exchange rate and something 1000x off the expected value.

[Position disappearance.]

Yeah, about 60% of my positions also disappeared. And it is not the first time that this happened in the demo environment, see e.g. this one:

 

At least for me, the total running profit/loss is showing a different value than what one would get by summing the remaining visible positions.
I assume that also this time it will be fixed one day, and the positions will reappear. So far by my experience it took 1-2 weeks for the positions to magically reappear.

[Demo Open Positions Gone. Some remain.]

Same for me. Some positions disappeared. Not the first time that this happened on the demo account. If I remember correctly last time it took over a week last time until all positions returned 🤷‍♂️

[Some markets cannot be subcribed with lightstreamer]

Hello,

when I look with the Rest API for instance at the market IX.D.XINHUA.IFM.IP, I get in the reply a field with the value "streamingPricesAvailable": true.

{
    "instrument": {
        "epic": "IX.D.XINHUA.IFM.IP",
        ...
        "streamingPricesAvailable": true,
        ....
    }

}

Now I try to connect this market with the lightstreamer companion on https://labs.ig.com/sample-apps/streaming-companion/index.html

But all I get when I want to connect the lightstreamer chart tick to this market is the reply

Quote

Subscription failed: -1 message: Instrument not redistributable

 

Is this the expected behaviour? What does the field streamingPricesAvailable mean? I was under the impression that this markets can be connected to via lightstreamer. Is there another API to get market prices via API for this markets?

Thanks for any help

Andreas

[Lightstreamer connection fail]

Working again for me, I hope for you too.

 

[Lightstreamer connection fail]

Yes, same here, even a simple command like `curl https://demo-apd.marketdatasystems.com` fails with a Connection refused error message.

[Demo API not working]

I have the same problem, not only with the demo system but also with the live account. I can reproduce it easily with the IG API Companion:
  - Login
  - GET session details (repeatedly click on GET, with e.g. 10sec pause in between)
about 50% of the calls to get session details will fail with a 500 error, the other 50% will work fine

[API 500 / 504 response on initial login - again]

Similarly I get often error code 500 since yesterday. Repeating the same request repeatedly seems to work after a few retries. This is not optimal though.
