Does the "Check Margin" feature in the TWS Order Entry form give you the information you are looking for?

In that case, take a look at the documentation for via TWS API and the flag of the class.

Hey, if you feel that strongly about it and have the time then go ahead and make the pull request. In the worst case scenario it'll be good practice, a learning experience and software development lesson.

Yeah, I see most of this as making a mountain out of a molehill. It strikes me, largely, as a misunderstanding; much like issuing a SIGKILL but expecting SIGTERM.

If you are familiar with unix signal processing you know that SIGKILL is immediately forced upon the process by the OS and the process my be left in an untidy state. SIGTERM, on the other hand, gives the process an opportunity to clean up and exit gracefully.

Since the API code is readily available, folks can implement their own version of EReader which suits their preference in this regard. Therefore the distinction becomes moot.

There may be some chance of acceptance for a minor pull request which, e.g., swaps the calls to the thread join and socket disconnect. But, even this could be seen as a dog chasing it's own tail since the argument would merely come down to the dislike of a default.

Moreover though, when you consider that the code for EReader hasn't changed in years... even a small change becomes unlikely. And, the suggestion of anything "major", like an intermediate "stop" method, becomes far fetched IMHO.

It's certainly an interesting nuance but probably better addressed by documentation alone. At least we have this thread of conversation now for reference :-)

$excess_liquidity_delta =? $cash_balance_delta - $margin_delta?

I like evolution, so I may be wrong but here I am not sure I would flag this as a bug.
Just out of curiosity what undesirable side effect the current implementation generate? ?

Some food for thoughts:
Theses are tricky parts as it require tracking all threads together to do proper analysis. again I won't pretend I know all the implications.
I use it in C++/Win32 and it work really fine and fast (async) without any issues that worth a change from my perspective (IMHO).

Because:
1- If I ask a "disconnect" it's to be acted upon immediately I don't want any new data to be processed.
Exiting gracefully and fast a mutithread application can become a tricky process;
I am ready to live with recv receiving remnant of previous telco. It's a philosophical/aesthetic issue I agree,
in an ideal world, we are 100% sure that the last transaction was completed. yes. but ... we are not (at least I am not ) in this ideal world.

Also the "error" system of IB have to be seen as a client messaging service Same for WIN32 where GetLastError() is sometime used as a signal (Example when looking for enumeration of files, this is the only way to get a "no more file" info.)
The OS handle gracefully zombie packet on close socket, so no harm. (surely not the only apps that do that).
Codes are used to that, just look at handleSocketError you see a hard errno = 0; typical of way to reset it without concerns for unhandled error.

2- Related to #1 above, Putting the WaitForSingleObject(m_hReadThread, INFINITE); before eDisconnect may execute a last putMessageToQueue.
While the basic supplied code will do a hard beak, the while() loop with m_buf.size==0 , exit because m_isAlive==false, without executing anything else.

3- Notice that a EReader object is used during connection as a limited life (scoped) heap object to fetch server protocol revision in a synchronous mode, and to call startApi()
(I am not aware of what this proc? does but by the name of it I would avoid missing this call) this looks like a "trick" to overcome an un-anticipated evolution of the protocol,
See EClientSocket::eConnectImpl(....)
Actions happening in the dctor are then to be taken carefully.

I would agree that the inversion of code lines you suggested might not affect the behavior at it's synchronous, (m_hReadThread=0) , that you ought to get the protocol revision and I don't even see how you can abort this single message operation anyway. (aside of a socket shutdown) never see a need.

As buddy point it out:
- it show that playing with the dctor of EReader may have side effect.
In particular there are legacy code without a call to a ->stop(), ?? it's implicit in ~dctor and somewhere does the job.
- Just to mention, the m_signal used for this Connect EReader is shared by this ephemeral EReader, you most probably will use the same for your main EReader.? It need care, there are people who use more than one EReader on same m_signal

I do not feel that destroying the EReader object is the correct way to disconnect.

IDK if this is what made you uneasy or what you meant, but maybe you'd prefer to see the call to eDisconnect happen in readToQueue as the penultimate action (i.e. before the final signal is issued)? In retrospect this makes a bit more sense to me.

• I received 451,009 TickByTickLast objects for NQZ3
• It took 445 requests/responses and 1,045 seconds to receive all data
• that is an average of 2.347s per request (elapsed time)
• but the median was sub-second at 0.659s.

• it is a single threaded event processor (no sleeps, delays, or built-in pacing)
• requests data in 1,000 tick chunks in reverse time order
• converts each returned TickByTickLast into a relatively expensive immutable Java object
• accumulates the objects in a list that is serialized into streamable Json objects and written to file each time more than 10,000 ticks have been accumulated

That means the tool makes about 9 out of 10 requests immediately (a few micro seconds) after the callback for the previous request. There is a short processing delay before every tenth request (5ms to 40ms) for the data serialization and file storage.

Now, the interesting finding is the discrepancy between average and median response times. IBKR paced the responses within chunks of ~60 seconds, each time with roughly the following rhythm:

• Ten requests with response times around 600ms each
• One request with 3.5 seconds
• Three requests with 600ms each
• One request with 4.5 seconds
• One request with 600ms
• One request with 5.5 seconds
• Three requests with 6 seconds

• One request with 12 seconds

Attached a couple charts of what that looked like. I do not have data on how long they keep that 60 second chunk rhythm up in case you download a couple years worth of data. My gut tells me that you will not be able to keep up the less-than 3 second average for very long runs.

First of all, order status ApiPending is not an error condition. It is the state of your order(s) right after you placed them. And the section of the does provide high-level descriptions of when to expect the various order stats. They say for :

ApiPending - Indicates order has not yet been sent to IB server, for instance if there is a delay in receiving the security definition. Uncommonly received.

I'd review the contract definition and you should seriously think about requesting a well configured contract from IBKR via instead of initializing various fields yourselves. For example, I am not sure why you set a "strike" for am STK instrument, and initialize trading class, symbol, and local symbol will have important fields initialized with meaningful values.

And then you use a Time in Force of IOT. Does the behavior change if you place the order with a simpler TIF of, say GTC or DAY?

I'm now having a seemingly identical problem using IB's python client -- I can only imagine I'm doing something boneheaded, but without documentation on the error, I'm a bit stuck.

Running on v177, I set up an order like so:

??????? con = Contract()
??????? con.conId = 76792991
??????? con.symbol = "TSLA"
??????? con.secType = "STK"
??????? con.strike = 0.
??????? con.exchange = "SMART"
??????? con.primaryExchange = "NASDAQ"
??????? con.currency = "USD"
??????? con.tradingClass = "NMS"
??????? con.localSymbol = "TSLA"

??????? order = Order()
??????? order.action = "BUY"
??????? order.totalQuantity = 1.
??????? order.orderType = "MKT"
??????? order.tif = "IOC"
??????? order.account = "[account name]"
??????? app.placeOrder([order id], con, order)

This sends:

3-[order id]-76792991-TSLA-STK--0.0---SMART-NASDAQ-USD-TSLA-NMS---BUY-1.0-MKT---IOC--[account name]--0--1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-------0---1-0---0---0-0--0------0-----0-----------0---0-0---0--0-0-0-0--1.7976931348623157e+308-1.7976931348623157e+308-1.7976931348623157e+308-1.7976931348623157e+308-1.7976931348623157e+308-0----1.7976931348623157e+308-----0-0-0--2147483647-2147483647-0---

... but a call to openOrders gives

OrderStatus. Id: [order id] Status: ApiPending Filled: 0 Remaining: 1 AvgFillPrice: 0 PermId: 0 ParentId: 0 LastFillPrice: 0 ClientId: 3 WhyHeld:? MktCapPrice: 0

As I say, I imagine I'm setting something up incorrectly. If anyone can point me towards what (or even where to look), I'd be super grateful.
