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. ? ? ?

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??

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. ´³¨¹°ù²µ±ð²Ô 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

Re: Data Feed that is identical to IB tickByTick data
Denali data feed provided with Sierra Chart package 12 is also tick by tick.

You will have to look very hard to find a tick by tick data feed that is as bad (identical as you call it) as Interactive Brokers 4 times per second filtered burst feed.
I have tested this for years. It's very simple, there is no retail unfiltered correct tick by tick data feed on the market. Not even sierracharts own datafeed, whatever the kiwis tell you.
Closest that I have seen compared to what I have worked with in Chicago is TT, and that's it.
If you are so worried about correct datafeeds and latency, then why are you even using python, it's 200 times slower than Java and C++ for example and totally not fit for purpose in this domain.
Good luck.
