Currently in the python sample file OpenPosition.py, it is common to run into the error of an instrument being "not valid," while in reality its status is disabled on that account. This can be confusing, with a vague message that doesn't point towards what is needed.
This request implements what is needed in error checking. Opening Positions on the fxcm trading website automatically makes the instrument tradable on the account if it's not, so I thought the sample script should do that as well. This pull request adds this functionality to the error checking- making an instrument tradable if it's disabled on the account.
