The three environments are completely independent. No shared servers or resources.

API Support » DOW Mini Option Data Appears Very Sparse May 24, 2023 @ 08:01 AM (Total replies: 2)

These options don't seem to trade very much. I don't know why. Even CME's website has minimal data (and low if not zero volume)

API Support » GF COM API Range/Volume Bar Subscription vs History Request May 23, 2023 @ 02:52 PM (Total replies: 2)

Because of the way that volume / range bars are created, that's really not possible.
They are generated based on the timestamps that are passed in (or current time if none is given)

The better way of doing this is to do the subscription first, then doing the historical request using the timestamps of the first bar you get back from the subscription (this is how trader does it)

API Support » GF COM API: Determining if Position was Placed as a Spread Apr 18, 2023 @ 11:42 AM (Total replies: 2)

Positions are not associated with spreads, only with individual legs. That's how the exchange works.

API Support » Incorrect Values Coming from Margin Calculation Request Mar 28, 2023 @ 11:25 AM (Total replies: 4)

Sorry, I forgot to tell you this.

Since you're just interested in the theoretical margin for the entire order, place the legs as hypo positions instead of hypo orders.

Hypo Positions are calculated all together, while hypo orders tries to find the worst-case situation of which orders would fill or not.

API Support » GF API COM OnMarginCalculationCompleted to Being Hit After doing Margin Request Feb 16, 2023 @ 11:48 AM (Total replies: 4)

Placing a margin calc request with multiple orders, and no position is working just fine for me.

API Support » GF API COM: Margin Calculation Request Help Feb 16, 2023 @ 11:42 AM (Total replies: 4)

I've tested sending mutliple orders in a margin request with the latest COM api (4.11.210.227), and it works fine for me.
HypoOrders and HypoPositions are immutable by design (same for the .NET api)

There is an issue. will be fixed.

The third param should be of type GF_API_COM.IGreeks
I'll check to see if there's a problem with that event.

API Support » GF API COM: Margin Calculation Request Help Dec 21, 2022 @ 06:54 AM (Total replies: 4)

From what i remember about the margin calc, the best way would be to place each leg as an separate order in the calc request.

This can be done as the following:

GF_Api_COM::IMarginCalculationRequestBuilderPtr builder;
builder.CreateInstance(__uuidof(GF_Api_COM::MarginCalculationRequestBuilder));
GF_Api_COM::IAccountListPtr accs = GFAPI()->Accounts->Get();
GF_Api_COM::IAccountPtr account = accs->GetAt(0);
builder = builder->WithAccountID(account->id);

//Loop next line for each contract / side / quantity
builder = builder->WithOrder(GFAPI()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, GF_Api_COM::OrderSide_Buy, quantity));

I found the cause of this, and have fixed it.. but it will take a full system restart to take affect.

Where does it say that?

There's no side property here:

API Support » GF API COM Custom Compound Help Sep 21, 2022 @ 02:30 PM (Total replies: 22)

Legs of contracts (once created) don't really have a side. They do have a quantity, which can be negative.

API Support » GF API COM: No DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType Inside of IDataFeedEntitlementPtr Sep 21, 2022 @ 11:31 AM (Total replies: 35)

What do you get when you case the SubscriptionType to an integer?
should either be 2 if only DOM, or 3 if DOM + TopOfBook

Also, what programming language are you using?

Unfortunately, COM strips out the markers for flag enums.

API Support » GF API COM: No DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType Inside of IDataFeedEntitlementPtr Sep 20, 2022 @ 02:12 PM (Total replies: 35)

its a flag enum.

try:

VARIANT_BOOL hasDom = (pDfe->SubscriptionType | GF_Api_COM::DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType::DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType_DOM) == GF_Api_COM::DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType::DataFeedEntitlementSubscriptionType_DOM));

The values in the enum are:

TopOfBook = 1,
DOM = 2

it is possible to have BOTH be true, in which case the underlying value of the enum will be 3.
