How to avoid "Rate limit violation of newly..." on OANDA? - 07/25/16 16:50

I tried to trade Z systems on an OANDA Demo account.

I read in the document about the rate limit, so I only ran 1 Zorro instance, and updated all Forex pair M1 price history for 2016 using Zorro's Download script through an FXCM demo account beforehand. In Z.ini, I set NFA = 1, FXOnly = 1, and Hedge = 5. I also deleted all the CFD rows in AssetsOanda.csv and saved the file as AssetsFix.csv.

However, when I click "Trade" for either Z7 or Z12 (only tried these two), Zorro would log in to OANDA and then show a bunch of error messages, similar to these:
!Rate limit violation of newly established connections. Allowed rate: 2 connections per second
!Rate limit violation of newly established connections. Allowed rate: 2 connections per second
Error 053: USD/JPY unavailable!
!Rate limit violation of newly established connections. Allowed rate: 2 connections per second
!Rate limit violation of newly established connections. Allowed rate: 2 connections per second
Error 053: GBP/USD unavailable!

Then Zorro will pop up a dialog saying "Some assets are not yet uploaded. Wait 10 seconds, then start again. Otherwise check name, remove asset, or set FXOnly."

I even tried updating the asset list by using the Download script with Oanda account to "Save Assets to" AssetsNew.csv and renaming it to AssetsFix.csv. Same problems.

Could anyone help? Thanks!

You use an outdated plugin. Make sure that you really have the current version.

Hi jcl,

Yeah I had noticed that but had thought the newer version was a beta 1.47 and I'd like to wait for it to become release... Hadn't noticed there was a release 1.46.3 which wasn't a beta. After updating to 1.46.3 things work out fine.

Is it feasible to add an update reminder just to notify the user of a new release version? No need to do automatic update - that will increase the complexity as to handle open trades and what files can be overwritten etc. Just a notification would help tremendously.

Thanks!

We send out update notifications, but only when you activated "subscribe to news" while downloading Zorro. If not, just fill out the form again and check "subscribe to news".
