Summary

This forum discussion documents practical issues encountered while setting up CTPTEST simulation access in VeighNa. Participants explain that the test interface package was still being ported for a newer station release and suggest installing it manually. A failed package build is traced to missing Microsoft C++ build tools. Other troubleshooting suggestions include checking the connection configuration file in the user's VeighNa data directory and testing whether the trading server port is reachable.

The thread also records confusion over authentication and API compatibility. The trader eventually discovers that the simulation account password differs from the live account password, resolving an invalid-login problem. A later review requirement calls for a specific CTP test API version, and a participant suggests replacing matching DLLs and recompiling for certain errors. These are community troubleshooting reports, not a verified end-to-end guide; details depend on software versions, broker settings, and account configuration.

Key ideas

  • The CTPTEST interface package may need manual installation when it is not included in a station release.
  • Building the package can require Microsoft C++ build tools.
  • Connection troubleshooting can include checking configuration files and testing trading-server port access.
  • Simulation credentials may differ from live-account credentials.
  • API versions and DLL compatibility may affect review or connection outcomes.
