XML API error on get-open-trades

Hello,
Has anyone had any issues with the XML get-open-trades call giving an error "Required fields missing"?
I believe my call is well-formed. My account code and session ID are there so I don't know what could
be missing. Just before this, I make a get-my-accounts call with the same session ID and it is successful.

Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks
JT

You're missing the id parameter.

Thanks Ethan for pointing out my oversight. I did correct the parameter as you showed me
and now I get an "Invalid session." error. Very odd. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

The session you're using is invalid (This happens if you have logged out), so request a new session using the API.
