Absolutely the same. Depending on the index you may not receive some tick types, but I've never noticed anything to be missing that I'd expect to be there. The FTSE index (which IB actually no longer provide data for) used to even send out bids and asks, which always puzzled me somewhat – no idea what they were meant to mean, since the index isn't tradable.

You know, IB provides some test ?programs with the API that enable you to just try all this sort of thing out without having to write code. There are test programs for C#, Visual Basic and Java. If you're on Linux the Java one would be the only option. I think you have to build them yourself the first time.

They enable you to essentially call any API with any parameters you choose and see the results. I've found these things really useful over the years for trying things out before writing code in my platform.

Regarding the Highland Games, I've lived here in the North East of Scotland for over 32 years now and have never been to them. Not really my thing!
so the results of the call for an "IND" should be the same as the results as a call for "STK". Is that a fair statement?? Also I was talking to a chum about the Aboyne highland games. I used to spend time in Banchory and used to enjoy the games and the characters.
