I agree. Especially since IB doesn't provide all of the available quotes.
} I think this is something the API is probably not meant for.
} I think that IB wants to help their clients to do lots of profitable
} trades, and that?s why they developed TWS and the API.

} If you want to get a few hundred tickers at a time, my opinion is that you
} should subscribe a datafeed somewhere else. eSignal and PCQuote have API?s
} that might be useful to you.
} They are specialised on providing real time data.

} Betreff: twsapi: java api, maximum number of requests at a time ?
}
}
} I am using the Java API. When I send more than 40 or so requests for
} ticker info, I get the following exception:
}
} Error: Max number of tickers has been reached.
}
} Then I tried to do the following:
}
} connect;
} for(i=0, i < 40; i++) send requests;
} capture info using event handlers;
} disconnect;
} connect;
} for(i=0; i < 40; i++) send requests;
} capture info using event handlers;
} disconnect;
} etc.
}
} But the problem is each time there is a connect() call, someone needs
} to manually click on the "Yes" button on the dialog that asks "Accept
} incoming connection attempt?"
}
} I want to be able to download info on few hundred tickers at a time,
} what should I do ?
}
} Thanks in advance.
