I’m following instructions from “AutoTrade API Access Granted” email but it’s not working. I first went to the random signals Test System here:
http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/system1234
Then I clicked AutoTrade and selected “AutoTrade Software Development” and then "AutoTrade Test Client (Gen 1)"
Then in Firefox I entered http://autotrade.collective2.com:7878/?cmd=login&e=email&p=password&protoversion=8.2&client=TESTCLIENT&host=HP1&build=1.0
With my correct C2 email and password of course.
Firefox responded: "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at autotrade.collecte2.com:7878
From a command shell, I also tried pinging http://autotrade.collective2.com and http://autotrade.collective2.com:7878 but got "request could not find host"
What am I doing wrong?
Hi, Greg:
The AutoTrade servers are down on Saturday, but will return on Sunday afternoon. Sorry this is not documented clearly.

Matthew,
I have it working now, thanks.
Here’s some more undocumented stuff you might want to add:
1. Additional fields returned by cmd=latestsigs in the signal packet:
String wasParkedUntilWhen;
String wasParkedUntilHumanTime;
String conditionaUponPermId;
2.Can you add example data between tags <ocachanges></ocachanges>
3. Same request between tags <fillinforeceived></fillinforeceived>
4. Why is <completedtrades> data organized differently than others?
5. How to turn off emails sent by test system?
6. You had previously told me that must have dedicated IB account for C2 systems. I see no reason can’t be differentiated programmatically. Is that just a Trader68/TradeBullet requirement?
Thanks,
Greg
