Options support in IB (for twsapi group)


Ted Penner
 

IB clearly supports options because TWS shows them and so does Multicharts?

If I wanted to algorithmically trade equity options based on chart data from IB, what platform choices do I have available and what are the pros/cons?

We are currently tying SierraCharts and would like to be able to?use that platform with C++ but we do not yet see the options data.

Any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

If you are seeing option prices in TWS then they are also available in the Api.

You will need to contact Sierra to find out why option data is not showing there.

Well, if *realtime* options data is available in TWS it would also be available to Sierra.?
