API Support » GF API COM ICE US Dollar Daily History Returning Saturday Bar Aug 09, 2023 @ 03:07 PM (Total replies: 1)

I have had two customers report they are seeing what appears to be a duplicate bar due to getting a Saturday bar with the same OHL but slightly different closes.

We have just seen this issue starting Monday where we are getting a Saturday bar for some reason.

It is only with the US Dollar and no other symbols.

This is how we are requesting the data for all symbols:

IDurationPtr duration = client->Subscriptions->Bars->Duration->Create_2(fromDate, toDate, GF_Api_COM::Continuity::Continuity_OneTime);
IBarDescriptionPtr description = client->Subscriptions->Bars->Description->CreateDays(1);
ISubscriptionPtr sub = client->Subscriptions->Bars->Subscribe(con->id, duration, description);

Here is a chunk of data from July 1st to today that we are receiving:

API Support » Invalid Custom Compound in Real Accounts Jun 21, 2023 @ 05:02 PM (Total replies: 0)

I have a client that is attempting to roll a custom compound and they are receiving an invalid custom compound error message when placing the order. This appears to only happen in real and does not happen in sim.

On contract ESU23 a custom compound was placed with these legs:
OE4DM23 C4430 Sell Call with -11 quantity.
OEW4M23 C4480 Buy Call with 11 quantity.

We are then attempting to roll the OEW4M23 C4480 option down a couple strikes to C4450 and we place it as a sell option custom compound with legs of:
OEW4M23 C4480 Buy Call with 11 quantity.
OEW4M23 C4450 Sell Call with -11 Quantity

We then get "OEW4M23 COS +11 C4480, -11 C4450: Rejected Creation of custom compound failed: CustomCompound validation failed: Your strategy definition failed"

Again, this works in sim but does not work in prod from what we have tested.

Thanks

API Support » Determine Subscription Limit on Account Jun 02, 2023 @ 05:09 PM (Total replies: 0)

Is there a way for me to determine the max number of subscriptions an(a) account/user has on the different subscription types? I know there is a default and I found an old forum post about the defaults and I'm not sure if those defaults have changed either.

Thanks

API Support » DOW Mini Option Data Appears Very Sparse May 22, 2023 @ 10:50 AM (Total replies: 2)

The Mini DOW Option data appears very sparse from what I can see.

The YM underlying OEYM May 31, 2023 expiration has two strikes around the money that have ask values, but everything else have bids/asks of 0. I am looking in Gain Trader Demo and it appears to have the same issue.

All of the expirations for YM appear to have very minimal data with a lot of bids/asks of 0.

Thanks

API Support » Placing Limit Compound Orders as Credits vs Debits May 05, 2023 @ 10:49 AM (Total replies: 0)

When placing a compound option order and wanting to place a credit, should I be sending off a price that is a negative value?

I have noticed inside of gain trader demo when creating a Call Vertical (or any other compound option), if I put in a negative value and press transmit order, it shows "Credit: $" and anything above 0 shows "Debit: $".

Does this mean if I send off what I want to be a credit I need to send a negative value for the price? Or should everything be a positive value?

I have tried sending off a negative value for credit and it appears that they are getting filled immediately, when they should not be.

For example if I want to send off a credit spread at the price of 1.20, should I be sending off -1.20, or should I send off 1.20?

Thanks.

API Support » GF COM API: Determining if Position was Placed as a Spread Apr 19, 2023 @ 09:51 AM (Total replies: 2)

It seems weird to me that the spread is placed with a spread contract symbol/id, but when the position comes back, it has no idea about what it was placed as. There's no way I can piece it together by checking some legs or something of the position contract or anything?

Thanks.

API Support » GF API COM: Ability to Place Combo Orders Apr 17, 2023 @ 03:38 PM (Total replies: 2)

Mostly am I able to place a futures order and an option order in the same order. Not necessarily 2 *random* orders. They would need the same base symbol, but just a futures order and option order.

API Support » GF API COM: Ability to Place Combo Orders Apr 17, 2023 @ 01:53 PM (Total replies: 2)

Is there the ability to place combo orders? Meaning is there a way that I can place an option order and a limit order at the same time?

I have tried following what I am doing with custom compound orders and throwing a limit order in there, but it doesn't appear to be working. It keeps saying invalid compound type.

Thanks.

API Support » GF COM API: Determining if Position was Placed as a Spread Apr 14, 2023 @ 12:18 PM (Total replies: 2)

Is there a way for me to determine inside of the account's AvgPositions dictionary if a position was part of a futures spread?

I have checked the compound type as well as the contract kind for any sort of indication of spread and everything comes back as Kind_Futures or Compound_Unknown.

The symbol that comes back on the contract has no indication of it being part of a spread either.

I have checked:
position->Contract
position->Contract->BaseContract
position->PositionContract
position->Contract->ParentContract
position->PositionContract->BaseContract

It appears that the parent contract of the position has the same id for spread positions that come back which is what is what I have been using to determine if they were part of the same spread. That does not carry across the close and can no longer be used.

Thanks

API Support » Incorrect Values Coming from Margin Calculation Request Mar 24, 2023 @ 04:36 PM (Total replies: 4)

I am looking at a NASDAQ compound order:

OQNEH23 C12875 Being placed as a sell

OQNEH23 C12850 Being placed as a buy

The margin from gain trader using the margin calculator is coming back as Initial: 304 and Maintenance: 276 which looks correct.

When I place it using the margin request, I am getting 16831 for Initial and 15301 for Maintenance. It seems like it's not taking into account the buy leg I am placing with it.

Will you please look into this for me?

Thanks

API Support » GF API COM OnMarginCalculationCompleted to Being Hit After doing Margin Request Feb 14, 2023 @ 11:46 AM (Total replies: 4)

Furthermore, if I place the order that is not being calculated, then attempt to do another margin check on the position I just placed it works.

So it appears that the margin calculation only works on positions in the account.

API Support » GF API COM OnMarginCalculationCompleted to Being Hit After doing Margin Request Feb 14, 2023 @ 11:41 AM (Total replies: 4)

Something seems weird.

With option symbol:
OQNEG23 C12500 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Buy, 1));
OQNEG23 P12500 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Sell, 1));
OQNEG23 C12250 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Buy, 1));

OnMarginCalculated does not get called

With Option Symbol:
OQNEG23 C12300 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Buy, 1));
OQNEG23 P12300 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Sell, 1));
OQNEG23 C12550 - marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, OrderSide_Buy, 1));

OnMarginCalculated does get called

They are both compound orders with 2 buy calls and 1 sell put.
The legs that do get calculated, they are a current position of mine. Why is it working when I have a position and not work when I don't have a position with those legs?

OnMarginCalculationCompleted is not being called after doing a margin request.
It was working before and is no longer working.
This is my code for the margin request:
I have tried updating the latest version of the API but did not help

IMarginCalculationRequestBuilderPtr marginCalc;
marginCalc.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MarginCalculationRequestBuilder));

IAccountPtr pAcct = GetCurrentAccountPtr(GFApi());

marginCalc->WithAccountID(pAcct->id);
IContractPtr contract = GFApi()->Contracts->Get_2((LPCTSTR)leg->
marginCalc->WithOrder(GFApi()->Margin->CreateHypoOrder(contract->id, side, qty));
IMarginCalculationRequestPtr marginRequest = marginCalc->Build();
_bstr_t valid = GFApi()->Margin->ValidateMarginCalculationRequest(marginRequest);
//valid is NULL which means it is valid
GFApi()->Margin->RequestMarginCalculation(marginRequest);

Please implement what is involved in this thread (https://apisupport.gainfutures.com/Topic/Index/1483) , it's in the API, but not in the GF COM API Wrapper as well

Thanks

API Support » GF API COM: Margin Calculation Request Help Jan 11, 2023 @ 05:40 PM (Total replies: 4)

I have tested doing the individual legs, and it does not give me the correct margin for compound options.

Will you please add the ability to place multiple orders as shown in the documentation as well as the ability to set the values of an IHypoOrderPtr individually so that I can test that out as well.

Thanks.
