Re: TWS Gateway disconnects client periodically
As it turns out, my program did not stop reading the messages, it just didn't read them fast enough. After a period of time, the EBuffer in the TWS Gateway hit ~ 5Mb, then disconnected my client

Re: reqHistoricalData() for OTC only works if first typed symbol in TWS
Rob clearly has data needs that require a dedicated data service provider, which IBKR is not. They are a brokerage. But the IBKR data features are adequate for many (maybe even most) users, especially

Re: reqHistoricalData() for OTC only works if first typed symbol in TWS
Thanks for the info. May you please share what headaches you had in using IBKR's data? Just to be curious, as I also need a data source. ________________________________ Sent: Saturday, February 5,

J¨¹rgen, You always have such great responses. If I see you replied to an email to anyone, I always open it. So thank you for all your valuable help. In your reply you discussed abstraction layers. I

Re: reqHistoricalData() for OTC only works if first typed symbol in TWS
The limitation is that interactive brokers is a broker, not a data provider. You can pull data, but it's not worth the headache to me, because everything IBKR does is centered around their core

Re: reqHistoricalData() for OTC only works if first typed symbol in TWS
May I know what restrictions or issues the TWS API has that prevents it from being a data provider? Having a dedicated data source is fine - but adds another dependency for an auto trading system...

Re: Choose between: Client Portal API & TWS API
Thanks again for the detailed info. It seems Java is the way to go ? The other thing matters is how many folks in the community (e.g., this email group) use a language - so I can get some help when

Joan Well, I did find time for this today after all (change of priorities). And I have to say, I was unable to reproduce your issue. I started by amending the demo program I mentioned earlier, to

Re: Choose between: Client Portal API & TWS API
I agree with this and would add that it will take way more time and effort to implement your system with IB Api than it should. There are numerous gotcha's and general wackiness that you will just

Re: reqHistoricalData() for OTC only works if first typed symbol in TWS
IB says in their TWS API documentation that the intended use of the API is not as a data provider.? That continues to show itself to be true.? I use polygon.io for data and IB for trade executions,

Re: Choose between: Client Portal API & TWS API
When I said "clients" in my previous posts I was referring to TWS API client applications, not people who hire you. So if, for example. your API client application has placed a few orders but then
