    Customizing the sample Python IBAPI code provided in the testbed

    I see the flaw in this approach, specially the amount of time/Effort it takes, what would be your suggestion for a proper data infrastructure given that I would need APAC exchanges such as NSE and BSE (level II/III) as well, for which there are barely any vendors coverage. Thanks !!

    Customizing the sample Python IBAPI code provided in the testbed

    Sorry for the lengthy dump, but it was important as the functions/classes are heavily nested, of course I will post specific questions with specific references. Thanks

    Customizing the sample Python IBAPI code provided in the testbed

    Hi I am new to the IBAPI, creating this thread to customize understand the pre-built sample python code and use it for real world trading. The samples are well coded and efficient though cryptic. Need some help on understanding the function calls and libraries, that don't seem to have any...
