What does 13 HMAC signature mismatch mean on the DXtrade API?
DXtrade errorCode 13, description "HMAC signature mismatch" (the vendor's wording). The HMAC signature check failed, so authentication failed: the HMAC the server generated does not match the one received from the client.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
How do I fix 13 HMAC signature mismatch?
Check how the signature is built against the HMAC authentication section of the vendor's page. The page gives no further remedy.
