Post From: Same session multiple different HISTORICAL_PRICE_DATA_REQUEST

Hello,

I'm working on DTC client that needs access to multiple CL contracts. I can't to find anything in documentation explaining DTC protocol interaction for such case. My initial pseudo code looked like


connect() // open connection
login() // send ENCODING_REQUEST & LOGON_REQUEST

loop {
get_historical_data() // send HISTORICAL_PRICE_DATA_REQUEST for each CL contract with unique request_id (eg, CLF19, CLG19, ...)
}

disconnect() // close socket

This code gets 1st contract and then stalls. After some time DTC closes connection

The solution that works in my code is when I put connect(), login() and disconnect() calls inside the loop. Is this the way it is intended to be or I accidentally found workaround?

Thanks and best regards
