In the API I sometimes get an error message that my Subscription Limit of 5 has been reached. In OEC Trader sometimes I get the same error, but the limit is 10.
1. What is a subscription? It seems to be any chart or DOM, not just SubscribeTicks or SubscribeBars? 2. What is the purpose of this limit? Why shouldn't I be able to show the same contract in many charts without going over the limit? 3. Do API users like Sierra Charts pay extra to get around this limit? I can't imagine they pass the limits through to their customers? Thanks in advance for your help! Dale |

Subscriptions are quotes, ticks, DOM or chart bars updates.
There are separate limits for different type of subscriptions - for example, 50 quotes, 5 ticks, 10 bars, 5 DOMs. Different bars (5 minutes and hourly bars) for same contract are counted as two separate subscriptions. Edited by SergeK on Jun 30, 2008 at 12:29 PM |
