Help getting realtime data stream via TWS API for TICK-NYSE and TRIN-NYSE
Hi, I want to get the data stream for the index TICK and TRIN. I read around the group and saw that i need to create the contract with the name TICK-NYSE and TRIN-NYSE with secType as "IND". After that, I tried to subscribe to realtime data using both reqMktData and?reqRealTimeBars but I am not getting any ticks for it. I want to know how to get the real time data stream for these two indices.? Thanks |
Go into TWS and right click on any instrument (TRIN or TICK) and select Financial Instrument Info -> Description.? The correct information to put into the Contract object will be specified on the left side of the window that pops up.? In the case of TICK you get: Underlying = TICK-AMEX Security Type = IND Currency = USD Exchange = AMEX Symbol = TICK-AMEX That's what you set for TICK-AMEX. Hunter

Hunter, Thanks for that tip. I can compare this to reqContractDetails() query and understand better. For TWS > Financial Description window *right side (not left) information, is there a single API request call one can make to get all that data? (For example it includes Dividends, Valuations, Growth,...) - Bruce On Thu, Mar 18, 2021, 5:34 AM Hunter C Payne via <hunterpayne2001=[email protected]> wrote:
