I'm trying to send a few orders using CppComSample and I'm getting rejections.
I tried both Market and Limit orders for both futures and spot currencies.
Any idea?
Thanks.

You are sending spot FX orders to a futures account, which is not permitted. Forex orders need to go to the Forex account, account number starts with APIFX.

Also, continuous contracts do not accept orders. Please trade underlying symbol like ESM7.

I sent a few Market orders for EUR/USD using APIFX003227 account. All were buy orders for 100000(I tried 10000 as well) without price and all were rejected.
I tried Limit order with the price, the same rejected.
Is there any way I can see the reason for the rejection.
Thanks.

This FX account is a mini FX where order quantity of 1 equals 10,000 currency units. For below order, send order qty as 1:

FX account APIFX003227 was expired on our back end. I have removed this account and provided you a fresh new FX account APIFX003265 which should not cause issues. Sorry for the troubles.
