CTP Account Balance Queries and Asynchronous Updates in VeighNa

Summary

This VeighNa forum exchange discusses how to obtain current account funds through the CTP trading interface. A user asks whether account balances can be retrieved synchronously, like an HTTP request, rather than through asynchronous updates. A reply points to the engine’s account retrieval method and explains that the interface uses queries rather than a push feed. The user then asks whether the method can return stale data between account events.

A further reply confirms that interpretation and suggests increasing the underlying query frequency to once per second. The thread offers a brief operational workaround but does not explain how to configure it, address API or exchange limits, or provide evidence about latency or reliability. It is a narrow discussion of account data freshness and event-driven interface behavior, rather than a trading strategy.

Key ideas

• The CTP interface obtains account funds through queries rather than a continuous push feed.
• The engine’s account retrieval method may reflect the latest received account event rather than trigger an immediate update.
• The discussion suggests increasing the underlying query frequency to once per second.
• The thread does not specify configuration steps or assess the operational limits of more frequent querying.
