type string Yes The value of this field will be positions
synchronizationId string Yes Id of the synchronization request
positions array Yes History orders. Payload schema: Array<MetatraderPosition>
accountId string Yes account id specified in the request
sequenceNumber number Yes an ordinal number of the packet. Increases by 1 with each new packet. Starts with 0 in every new session. Can be used to check for packet loss during synchronization.
sequenceTimestamp number Yes an ordinal number of packets, but this field is increased by a random number in each new packet. Always increases regardless of the session.

const socket = ioClient('https://mt-client-api-v1.agiliumtrade.agiliumtrade.ai', {
    path: '/ws',
    reconnection: false,
    query: {
        'auth-token': 'token'
    }
});

const request = {
  accountId: '865d3a4d-3803-486d-bdf3-a85679d9fad2',
  type: 'synchronize',
  requestId: '57bfbc9f-108d-4131-a300-5f7d9e69c11b',
  startingDealTime: '2019-01-13T10:29:26.000Z',
  startingHistoryOrderTime: '2019-01-13T10:29:26.000Z'
};

socket.on('connect', () => {
  socket.emit('request', request);
});

socket.on('synchronization', data => {
  console.log(data);
  if (data.type === 'authenticated') {
    request.requestId = uuid.v4();
    socket.emit('request', request);
  }
});

socket.on('processingError', err => {
  console.error(err);
});
