When we finish development and certify, will it be possible to obtain 2 UUIDs? The current infrastructure requires two connections - one for data and another for trading, and it would be a lot easier not to have to rewrite that.

It would be best practice for you to use one UUID, instead of two. Your API connection accesses the order and price servers with just one instance. Is there any reason why you cannot follow this practice? Our Sample files are implemented using this method.

Our software connects to many different brokers & datafeeds. For all the others, we have implemented direct to server connectivity. Internally the Trading and Data connections were always separate. With others we could establish 2 TCP/IP connections at the same time, no matter whether the quotes and trading were on the same account or different account.

With the OEC API, we didn't want to have to implement the FAST FIX ourselves, so we are looking at using the provided DLLs. However, it would make our integration drastically easier if we could establish two connections - one for quotes and one for trading, in order to avoid having to do significant rewrites of the underlying machinery that manages the datafeeds.

I understood from mentions that having two UUIDs for the application would solve that problem for us.

Ok, if you are ready for Conformance, email us at GFSupport gaincapital.com and we will provide the 2 UUID keys.

Would really help us in development right now to have two UUIDs for the demo acct. Possible?

We can provide you a second UUID key for Development, email us at GFSupport@gaincapital.com and I'll send you a key.

I have emailed two keys. Let me know if you need anything else.
