Hi All,
Can someone tell me what the logic is of the month in the symbol name of a FTI future (FTA)
I know the prefix of the name is FTI and a number describing the year (1 for 2021).
Between 'FTI' and '1' there is a character which is for the month.
What I have so far is:
???? ??? jan
??? ??? feb
FTIH1??? ??? mrt
FTIJ1??? ??? apr
??? ??? may
FTIM1??? ??? jun
??? ??? jul
??? ??? aug
FTIU1??? ??? sep
FTIV1??? ??? okt
FTIX1??? ??? nov
FTIZ1??? ??? dec
Why is H used for the 3th month. What is used for jan, feb, may,jun, jul, aug...
Kind regards
Harry

Re: Limitations on data requests. Requesting 120 options in option chain.
Hi Nick64,
I am trying to get my API working to get some option data using reqMktData. Very interested in the fact that you have got yours to work. I'm using JAVA but even if you are using another language I will be grateful if you could show me an example of what are the parameters you are using for reqMktData to work. Thanks in advance for your timw.

Re: futures options data via API
Hi,
I am looking for help in getting my reqMktData to work in getting me market data. I was hoping you may be able to help.
For options on Dow Jones. This gives no error (wether it is working is another question :)
symbol="YM"
secType="FOP"
currency="USD"
exchange="ECBOT"
localSymbol="C OYM SEP 21 35650"
But for DAX the following gives me security definition not found
symbol="DAX"
secType="OPT"
currency="EUR"
exchange="DTB"
localSymbol="P ODX1 SEP 21 15800"
any ideas/help/documentation?
Much appreciated

Re: Python API. Getting historical data in paper trading but not in live account
Provided both live and paper trading are running on the same computer, both can access live and historical data simultaneously. ? Note that if both access the same market data ticker, it only counts as one against your ticker limit. Also your ticker limit applies to all the tickers on both live and paper. So if your ticker limit is 100, and your live TWS is accessing 50 tickers and your paper-trading TWS is accessing 50 different tickers, then you will be up to your limit and attempting to access any more (on either TWS) will give an error. ? ? ?

Re: Python API. Getting historical data in paper trading but not in live account
I should clarify I am not trying to log into both accounts at the same time. ?The python script is working on the paper trading account, but it is not working on the regular login. ?I have two accounts a margin account and a TFSA account, So I wonder if the program needs to specify a login account.

Re: Trade Log for the last 7 days
Thank you, Richard.? I do have the 'Last 7 days' checked in the TWS UI under Trade Log.? If I figure out how to get?reqExecutions to return something via python implementation, it would confirm that their documentation stating "only those executions occurring since midnight for that particular account will be delivered" is not accurate..
|
Re: Trade Log for the last 7 days
Thank you, Jurgen!? I was not aware of the auto export feature.? I just got?trades.20210830.csv generated.

Re: Trade Log for the last 7 days
You can get executions for up to the past 7 days via the API from TWS (but not the Gateway) by setting the 'Show trades for' dropdown in the Trades Log window to 'Last 7 Days'. ? Richard ? ?

Subject: Re: [TWS API] Trade Log for the last 7 days? I am not aware of TWS API requests for trade executions that go back several days, Mark. But maybe the built-in TWS "Export Trade Reports Periodically" feature works for you. In TWS take a look at 'File -> Global Configuration -.> Configuration -> Export Trade Reports'. The default columns contain only the most basic fields (not even the execution ID) but you can add additional fields as needed. You will have one CSV file per day named "trades.YYYYMMDD.csv" and TWS does not delete any of these files. 闯ü谤驳别苍 On Mon, Aug 30, 2021 at 05:16 PM, Mark Dabrowski wrote: How does one get?Trade Log for the last 7 days programmatically,

Trade Log for the last 7 days
How does one get?Trade Log for the last 7 days programmatically, and are there any working examples in ruby or python?
1) TWS API
As per?
"Important:?only those executions occurring since midnight for that particular account will be delivered."
I have Positions, Balances, and trades inplemented, so the TWS API would be preferred.
2) I have been web scraping webtrader, but it's going away 10/1/2021
3) REST API
"Returns a list of trades for the currently selected account for current day and six previous days."
4) Set up "Daily Trade Report" in Client Portal, have posting to ftp enabled, parse the html once a day after it posts around 5:30 pm EST

Re: Python API. Getting historical data in paper trading but not in live account
Paper trading account shares same data feeding with a live account. you just can't login both account simultaneously
Anyone running into this problem?
I have two IB accounts, and I’m thinking I need to declare the account number?
it is not a port number issue.
thanks.

Re: Slow response on TWS Desktop Application
Many find a stable TWS version and do not update until they are forced by IB. This reduces unplanned surprises.

Slow response on TWS Desktop Application
Hi,
Is anybody experiencing slow response even hangs today ? I'm suspicious about today's auto update which puts application to 10.10.2f level.
My API application, market data subscriptions/scanners running well but sometimes clicking is impossible on any stock/order on TWS screen.Stopping API and all subscriptions did not help a lot.
When I check Task manager I see TWS using really high amount of CPU(more than %30).
anyone ? any ideas/suggestions to check ?
Thanks in advance
