Thanks Shane!
I'd be happy to help out when I get a hang of it, though I've never actually worked with Java or github, so not sure if it yet would be appropriate for me to submit there any changes I

Re: Exceptions with ib-csharp 9.67/9.68, ThreadAbortException NoValidId
Karl isn't actively maintaining the library anymore. He's moved the

Re: observation: contract id's can change

Re: observation: contract id's can change
Hi Kurt,
I don't rely on the ContactId to reload my portfolio. Once my portfolio is loaded, by mean of reqAccountUpdates(), I do use it, though, to request the contract details for each entry in my

Thanks for your additional comments. It's possible, but somewhat annoying in my case. The benefit of only including the contract ID is that even when a symbol changes occur, the system will still

Re: Is there a way to monitor a list of stocks defined in the TWS quote monitor
The API does only what the API does, which you can find from the online doc

Re: Forex data via TWS-API: how to acces?
