fx about EUR.USD

 

anyone know which exchange IB is trading for EUR.USD?
?
and for fx data, it is trading 24/5, so if i look at the daily data, what is the time point IB defines the Open and Close price?
?
i tried to use
mycontract = Contract()
mycontract.symbol = "EUR"
mycontract.secType = "CASH"
mycontract.exchange = "IDEALPRO"
mycontract.currency = "USD"
?
whatToShow='BID'
?
but cannot find the volume data, do i need to pay? i am using simulation account.
?
thanks!
 

I believe IDEALPRO is IB's own FX execution service. What volume you're looking for? There's no single exchange trading FX.
 

IB never reported historical volume on Forex financial instruments. It was always reported as -1. This is by design.

If you want historical volume you need to request historical data for Forex futures/ETFs/options, etc...

The trading hours' information for any financial instrument is available in TWS (mouse right-click over the instrument row).

The exchange for EUR.USD is IDEALPRO (or IDEAL).

Hope this helps.
