Re: Python API. Getting historical data in paper trading but not in live account


 

Thank you for the information. I was testing them on 2 different computers I guess that's why. I have another question.? Last time I checked with an IB technical support they told me that only one peer can access living data feeding, and, if you try to access history data with your script,? the?gateway (no matter it's tws or ib gateway) must have the living data access.? So,? can you access living data feeding on both TWS and Gateway? simultaneously?? thanks??

Yes you can login to your live account and paper trading account simultaneously. But you have to have both TWS/Gateways running on the same computer.

I do this all day every trading day, and have done every since the paper trading account was introduced back in the mid-2000s.

I've attached a screenshot showing this.

Paper trading account shares same data feeding with a live account. you just can't login both account simultaneously
