KeyError looking up contract on forex order

[jkleint]

I'm trying to put in an order for ("EUR", "CASH", "IDEALPRO", "USD").

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "strategy.py", line 84, in set_position
    self.instrument.order('BUY' if qty > 0 else 'SELL', abs(qty))
  File "/progs/qtpy/python/src/qtpylib/qtpylib/instrument.py", line 180, in order
    self.parent.order(direction.upper(), self, quantity, **kwargs)
  File "/progs/qtpy/python/src/qtpylib/qtpylib/algo.py", line 470, in order
    self._create_order(**kwargs)
  File "/progs/qtpy/python/src/qtpylib/qtpylib/broker.py", line 589, in _create_order
    contract = self.get_contract(symbol)
  File "/progs/qtpy/python/src/qtpylib/qtpylib/broker.py", line 794, in get_contract
    return self.ibConn.contracts[self.ibConn.tickerId(symbol)]
KeyError: 2

If I print the relevant variables in Broker.get_contract():

symbol ('EUR', 'CASH', 'IDEALPRO', 'USD')

self.ibConn.contracts
1 {'m_expiry': '', 'm_currency': 'USD', 'm_strike': 0.0, 'm_includeExpired': False, 'm_secType': 'CASH', 'm_exchange': 'IDEALPRO', 'm_conId': 0, 'm_right': '', 'm_symbol': 'EUR'}

self.ibConn.tickerIds
0 SYMBOL
1 EURUSD_CASH

Looks like tickerId() is not matching, then creates a new ID?

Looking into it now

Works fine here... Are you running the latest ezIBpy 1.12.32?

BTW - I've created a chatroom on Gitter for exchanging ideas / features for QTPyLib and ezIBpy. I'd love it if you'd join via https://gitter.im/qtpylib

Latest version, no luck. I can't actually get any orders to work, so it might be a bigger issue. I'll file a separate ticket.
