I am not creating the OEClient object on a different thread. I am creating it on the main thead. There is no Application context since this is a windows service, not a WinForms application. Here is a code snippet: Private _OECClient As OEC.API.OECClient Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String) HookupEventLog() WriteEvent("Service Starting...", EventLogEntryType.Information) _OECClient = New OEC.API.OECClient() AddHandler _OECClient.OnLoginComplete, AddressOf OECClient_OnLoginComplete AddHandler _OECClient.OnLoginFailed, AddressOf OECClient_OnLoginFailed AddHandler _OECClient.OnDisconnected, AddressOf OECClient_Disconnected _OECClient.Connect(My.Settings.OECServer, My.Settings.OECServerPort, My.Settings.OECLoginID, My.Settings.OECPwd, False) End Sub Private Sub OECClient_OnLoginComplete() WriteEvent("Connected...", EventLogEntryType.Information) End Sub Private Sub OECClient_OnLoginFailed(ByVal Reason As OEC.Data.FailReason) WriteEvent(String.Format("Login Failed: {0}", Reason), EventLogEntryType.Error) End Sub Private Sub OECClient_Disconnected(ByVal Unexpected As Boolean) WriteEvent(String.Format("Disconnected: Unexpected={0}", Unexpected), EventLogEntryType.Warning) End Sub Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean I have to trap all windows messages and then pull the messages I need to capture and raise that back to the main thread... Also, I am creating the OECClient object on the main thread, not a separate thread, just as I do it in my standard windows form... Can you provide me more detail or maybe just a link to something relevant? Thanks!! Fred Baptiste |

I'm hoping someone has come across this problem before or knows what I would need to do. I have a very simple application sample for now that runs just fine as a windows form. It simply attempts to connect to the api server, logs that it connected from the OnLoginComplete event (or that it failed from the OnLoginFailed event) and then disconnects. I take the same code (basically replacing msg boxes with event log entries) but my application is now a windows service (running as local system account). I know the event writing works because the OnStart event writes to the event log. The problem is that I am not receiving any events after I call the Global.Connect method. Neither a OnLoginComplete or a OnLoginFailed event is fired. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Fred Baptiste |

Not that I'm aware of. How would I go about getting that? Thanks. Fred Baptiste |

But how do I get the base contract (e.g. EURJPY, or USDJPY, etc) for the spot FOREX... I do not see that symbol in the contracts list. When I choose FX for the Group, I do not get any base contracts like I do when I choose a Group of Indices for example... Here is what I am trying to do: - Retrieve Groups using OEC.API.ContractGroup - Retrieve Base Contracts using: OEC.API.OECClient.Global.ContractGroups(myGroup.ID).BaseContracts - Subscribe to the OnContractsChanged event. However, choosing FX as the Group (ID=43) does not get me any base contracts... Fred Baptiste |

Does the OEC API support Spot FOREX trading? Also, can I subscribe to "tick" events from the API? I do not seem to find a way to do either, so I'm wondering if the API is for futures only... Fred Baptiste |

I cannot retrieve a list of contracts from a BaseContract object. In fact, even the advanced sample is having problems doing that in the following section of the code: private void SubscribeSomeContracts() { List<Contract> contracts = OECClient.Global.BaseContracts["ES"].GetNearestContracts( 2 ); OECClient.Global.Subscribe( contracts[0] ); OECClient.Global.Subscribe( contracts[1] ); } I get an Index out of Range error in the contracts[0] section. I am having similar problems in my own code: Dim BaseCon As OEC.API.BaseContract = OEC.API.OECClient.Global.BaseContracts("ES") This returns a valid BaseContract object, but the BaseCon.Contracts list has a count of zero. Thanks in advance for any help... Fred. Fred Baptiste |

I have now done that and handling the OnContractsChanged event. This seems to work. However, the API documentation I have does not list any of those methods/events. I downloaded the API docs from the following location: http://www.openecry.com/api/apichm.zip The OECClient page has this at the bottom of it: Generated from assembly API [3.1.2.0] I notice that the API.dll I am using (from one of the samples) is 3.3.0. Where can I download the latest API doc (or could you email it to me)? Your help is much appreciated!! Thanks! Fred Baptiste |
