I tried to use IDEAPRO to get the forex ratio for the BRL (Brazilian Real).
?
I got the classic error code 200:
?
Error. Id: 100
Code: 200
Msg: No security definition has been found for the request
?
I tried to reverse the contracts "symbol" and "currency" between USD and BRL - as the IDEALPRO exchange only returns some forex pairs if the symbol/currency is set up in a particular way.
?
In fact, IBKR's material doesn't list the BRL in the IDEALPRO exchange: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=2222&exch=ibfxpro&showcategories=FX&p=&ptab=&cc=&limit=100&page=1
?
I was surprised, however - Brazil is a big economy, and I thought having its currency forex ratio would be helpful for IBKR's clients.
?
Can someone suggest any other contract or approach to get the historical forex ratio for the Brazilian Real?
?
Thank you
