QUESTION
After deciding to walk away from Ibpy and learn the API IB I am having trouble even placing an order. What am I doing wrong?

Answered 2019-Aug-09 at 19:31from ib.ext.Contract import Contract
from ib.ext.Order import Order
Those are from IbPy, use only classes that start with ibapi.
QUESTION
I am using VM, Ubuntu 16.04, Python 2.7.12. I learn an example from here. I am using demo account and TWS.
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jun-02 at 13:44You call disconnect at the end of your program. I'm guessing that's why it gets disconnected;)
A few random thoughts.
There is a new python API available from IB so unless you want to use python 2.7 you should use the newer API as it has more features and probably more users as well by now.
It's not a problem with your program but you call connect and don't wait to make sure you're connected. Notice that next valid id is the first thing sent when the connection is established, you should use this as a signal to start your interaction with TWS/Gateway. Usually you implement the
nextValidIdcallback and put a call to your startup code there, likeplaceAllOrders()or something.Most people put a
sleep()in their program to wait for it to finish before disconnecting. This is a bad idea since you never know when it's finished. In your case, imagine you want to disconnect after the order is received. You can implement theorderStatuscallback and disconnect after it says it got your order. But you can put asleep(5)or something just before yourdisconnect()call for testing.I don't know what this line does
print(tws_conn.placeOrder(order_id, goog_contract, goog_order))placeOrderdoesn't return anything, after TWS receives the order it will send anorderStatuscallback.The 'errors' saying that the market data is working aren't really errors, just information. If it says 'connection is broken' then you know you're not getting data from that particular farm.
It won't matter for goog but primary exchange is never SMART. That's an actual exchange where the contract you're using primarily trades. This is only used for disambiguation in case goog trades in USD in some other country.

QUESTION
I'm trying to get currency rates from interactive broker using ibpy library and there is code i found on google and i changed a little.
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Mar-24 at 17:43If you don't want all the messages, don't print them.
You have to make sure the order you do things works asynchronously. Here you make a request and immediately print before it has time to get back from the server. Then you sleep for 1 second and hope it's done.
QUESTION
I am new to Python and ibpy, but I´m able to test run my strategy using both. My issue is that I cannot send orders outside the regular trading hours (RTH), when the market is open but ib doesnt consider them a 'regular trading hour'.
below is how I am sending these orders.
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-May-18 at 14:21Read the docs for order there is plenty of useful information. http://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/classIBApi_1_1Order.html#a60dcca6e3c3ae6ae6e0c5f3fdffc5a4a
bool OutsideRth [get, set] If set to true, allows orders to also trigger or fill outside of regular trading hours.
That looks like C# docs but the same is true in ibpy. If you check the source code, Order has a field m_outsideRth = bool(). Just set it to true.
QUESTION
I'm running python 3.6 via anaconda 3, using Visual Studio Code.
I followed instructions like these (Interactive Brokers API install) and downloaded the package to a local directory of mine say: c:\dev\pyib, so now the code is in c:\dev\pyib\IbPy-master
I open that directory in command line and run
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Jan-09 at 14:39This answer is specific for anaconda3 Python and packages installed using python setup.py install (which is actually using distutils)
Take a look at anaconda3\Lib\site-packages you should see a directory for the package you installed.
The way to know for sure where your package is, is by doing a pip list then trying to pip uninstall and re-install again using the python setup.py install: Here are the detailed instructions:
When uninstalling, pip will tell you it cannot because it was done via distutils.
You'll get a message like this:
QUESTION
Can someone help me to figure out how to do basic request by using IB API Python socket? (I am using the latest IB API and it seems it support Python so should not need the Ibpy which people used to use)
My code like this can simply work and make it connect to TWS. The problem is : I have no idea how to "see" the message sending back from IB.
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Mar-18 at 00:20You have to subclass/override/implement the wrapper.EWrapper. That's where you're telling EClient to send the data received from TWS.
I removed almost everything from the sample program and this runs.
