Thanks again tiddly. I just spoke to the Ohio Dept of Taxation and they confirmed what you said that if I treat it as a business my trading would be subject to the CAT tax. The guy even went so far as to say "yeah, you probably wouldn't want to move here." WTH? Oh well. Time to give Green...

ET Community, I'm testing an equities strategy that requires that I get a snapshot of the OHLC + vol of potentially >600 tickers a few minutes before the close. I tried to use the IB tws excel file connected to the IB api, but it chokes on that many tickers (I suspect because it's constantly...

Not that anyone would care, but I spoke to someone at the IB API group and got it fixed. Apparently the problem was that in the Location Code column I had "STK.NASDAQ, STK.NYSE, STK.AMEX", and that was causing the problem (though it was working every day for the past year and a half). He told...
