Error Code in Live Account

[motown69 1]

Hi Can you Help....

I have a scenario where i have been trading on a Demo account fine.  When attempting to trade on a Live account I get the following error code.:

160 - Market unavailable due to local regulations or account restrictions.

I have spoken to the api support team and they have checked my account and cannot see any restrictions.  The Balance on my account is over the required £5K

Are you able to advise what else may cause this error:

This is the response i get when attempting to place a trade:

Hi Motown,

I've seen this error occur a few times before in the past. In all cases, it is because of the reason stated in the error message: an attempt is made to trade a market that is not available to that account.

For example, if you have a Spreadbet only account and accidentally attempt to trade the CFD version of a market instead of the spreadbet. I suggest using the ListMarketSearch call to find the market you are attemtpting to trade. The search response contains the MarketId, which you use in your trade request. This should ensure you are only using valid MarketIDs.

Kind Regards, PM

Perfect....

Yes that's what it was.... I didn't realise the Market IDs in the Live account were different to the Demo account.

This now Works.

Thanks for your help...:)
