    What is difficult about IBKR APIs?

    It is worth spending a bit of time with the IB API, it has access to almost everything you want to trade. Other brokers are easier to handle but don't have many symbols available, so it is a trade-off. If you are stuck with something, let us know. I've already written examples for a few common...

    Dark Mode

    Once you use dark mode for a while and see a blank page you realize how much light the screen throws at you. Seeing blank pages is literally like staring at a lantern. Do that for years and lose your sight quickly. We spend too much time in front of the screen nowadays. The lest light you...

    What is difficult about IBKR APIs?

    The problem comes with the EWrapper class, an abstract class that has every single method in it. The result is that every time you want to use one method, because is part of the abstract super class, you are forced to implement the rest of them. What I have done is to implement them into...

    If I am lucky enough I won't need to use Python for anything anymore, that is all I can say.

    What is difficult about IBKR APIs?

    No, there's no point to use those languages for trading. I have one repo in c# and another in c++. If you use any other language for trading you'll end up using third party libraries for the most basic tasks. Like async methods and parallel executions. Not to mention how slow Python is...

    What is difficult about IBKR APIs?

    I wrote a wrapper with events, I don't like the way you are forced to implement virtual functions from the Ewrapper class. I also added a model to hold data into objects. It is easier to develop your algorithms that way. The code provided by IBKR is messy. You are free to use it but you'll end...

    What is difficult about IBKR APIs?

    ib_insync has been discontinued. The main developer has passed away, sadly. I guess you still can use it from the GitHub repo, but there won't be any updates coming forward. If you use c# I have developed a wrapper that I use on a daily basis. DM me if you need it.

    Trading approach adjustment needed

    If you are just using TA to trade you are bound to failure. There is only one way to use TA properly and it is against it. Whatever an indicator signals, do the opposite.

    Trading approach adjustment needed

    This is the problem, it is not accurate. If it were your trades wouldn't be stopped. The obvious challenge is to refine your method to pick a proper long trend. Your indicator is not working as expected.

    Schwab options messed up

    They should be more explicit with delayed data. On TradingView there is a massive D at the top of the chart if it is delayed. IBKR shows a banner on top as well when data is delayed. You are confused because they are not giving you the right tools.

    What are you trading and on what exchange? You might be watching at a particular exchange while most transactions happen on another. That's normally the issue, your data is incomplete.

    So I profited 820 dollars on a deep ITM options spread and received this email from Tastytrade

    Ah! So you sent me to your ignore list before, but for some reason you qualified me to someone that you would like to follow. There are some signs of a good heart in that caveman personality. I am kind of proud of you.

    It is a shame that you are not a Floridian, you would have made meme generators proud. It is definitely a miss. I agree with you.
