reusing context objects

[zihaolam]

Hi all,

I am planning to run futuapi in a server that long-living, isit recommended to reuse context objects such as OpenSecTradeContext?
or should we create a new object everytime we want to use the apis such as place_order()?

It seems that there are some setup overhead when instantiating the class and it seems that the OpenSecTradeContext will also hog up a port as mentioned in the docs.

You can reuse context objects. As long as you don't call the trd_context.close() function, you can continue to use it. We also recommend doing this.
