'terminate called without an active exception' when launching a second script using the same credentials on real account

[illi4]

I am experience an issue with using two (or more) Python scripts connecting to the same trading account. This is not happening for practice accounts. The api fails when I launch a second script as soon as I connect to fxconnect using the same account (run fxcm.login(...)).

My Python version is 3.6.8, I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I have tried different releases of forecxonnect (1.6.3 and 1.6.0).

On 1.6.3 and 1.6.2: When I run one script connected to fxcm and launch a second one, the first one fails with the error 'terminate called without an active exception'. On 1.6.0: When I run one script connected to fxcm and launch a second one, the second one works and the first one just hangs without any error messages. If I try to cancel it by pressing Ctrl+C, nothing happens. If I launch the first one again in new terminal, it works (but this is still a problem because I need the first one running). So, evey time I launch a new script, the running one fails.

My account id is 2705094378. Is it possible to get / change this setting through API or on the website?

This is it, it works now. However, I would need to check this sessing through code when new accounts are added to my scripts (otherwise, all the running scripts will break if they do not have multi-session setting). Is this possible. If not, could you consider adding a proper exception / error message to the code? Thank you.

Hi

I can report to our project management but I am not sure if or when we can implement this. For now, you can check it via myfxcm.com You can also provide all your accounts and ask Vincent in CC to check on our backend.
