Hello Thomas,

We did a small research here and is there a way that you could confirm if the Sierra Chart platform
is not calling the api from multiple threads. You may check with their technical team and let us know on the same.

Best regards,

Hello Support Team,

I am using Sierra Chart because I would like to use mathematical chart analyzing methods / technical indicators.
Bot trading is not really interesting to me, also the MtGOx fees are quite expensive for high frequent trading..

By the way, it has just stopped working today again:

Hello Thomas,
Honestly there were no issues reported on the API keys so far or the most recent.
Kindly be noted that we are no way related to Sierra Trading and they have built their own platform to felicitate
the MTGox trades happening within their platform.

May i ask you, any special reasons you are using Sierra Trading? you could very well be a part of our trading platform
and enjoy trading. We cannot guarantee or offer any security if any 3rd party platforms are used.

As far as "Bot Trading" or automatic trading is concerned, we would recommend that the providers need to ensure all which
is mentioned through our API documentation - what ever may be the platform they build.

Hope this clears and let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Mt.Gox Team

Hello Mt.Gox Team,

I was using the API Key / Secret already for automatic trading. All of a sudden it stopped working without
any changes on my side. After a while I have created a new API Key / Secret and it was working again, but
relatively unstable (some orders where executed and some not). Since yesterday it is working stable again.
Maybe you are probably aware of technical issues regarding the API / Automatic Trading via Sierra Chart?

I would like to be sure that the service is working stable, especially when it comes to automatic trading
with bigger positions in the future.

Thank you in advance for looking into this topic.

With Kind Regards

Thomas

Ravi Support, Jul 16 00:42 (JST):
Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the patience, I have reviewed the guide offered from your trading company,
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/Bitcoin.php

As mentioned in the setup, for the trade activities you would require to use API Key / Secret.
This would need to generated from your Mtgox account. By any chance have you tried using fresh new keys?
Also is the error message you started receiving recently or this is the case from the day you started using Sierra Chart.

Kindly let me know and we would be glad to work along with you.

Best regards,

Mt.Gox Team

Thomas, Jul 15 18:23 (JST):
Hello MT.GOX Support Team,

I am using Sierra Chart for automatic BitCoin trading. From time to time I get the error message below:

Orders Info request failed | 2013-07-13 14:33:12
Server data line: {"result":"error","error":"Identification required to access private API","token":"login_error_invalid_tonce"}"
2013-07-13 14:33:12 Orders Info request failed | 2013-07-13 14:33:28

Trade Order Error - MtGox order update (Rejected) - Identification required to access private API. Internal Order ID: 108. Symbol:
BTCUSD | 2013-07-13 16:15:16

Which has led into orders not being executed.
I also got in touch with Sierra Chart for further troubleshooting:

Could you please explain why this error was returned when requesting the open orders:
: {"result":"error","error":"Identification required to access private API","token":"login_error_invalid_tonce"}"

Sierra Chart engineering has said:

That bitcoin message would imply the Tonce value is invalid (this is a unique timestamp that has to increase).
We form the value based on the recommended algorithm that MtGox provides (basically just the current time in microseconds,
and we make sure that each value is larger than last one sent).

Sierra Chart has said you should use GSP for trading:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GeneralDataTradeServiceProtocol.php

I would really like it if you do this.

Sierra Chart also said:
Sierra Chart is a very reliable high-performance trading platform. The types of trading interfaces provided by Bitcoin exchanges
at the time of this writing, are substandard. They are far from the capabilities, structure, and data organization required for
reliable and trouble-free trading.

Could you please look into this issue? It would be quite helpful if we could reach more stability in automatic trading.

Thank you in advance!
