Nope, td shut down the tos api a LONG time ago. I use IB api and Python to get data for my trading app. BUT you are right about the multi logins from a single IP though. Thanks for the reply

thanks @frostengine In my environment the FUNDED is on one machine and, on a wired lan, the PAPER is on another. Different ip's different MAC addresses does that make a difference?

Hi there so we have a funded account with IB and have a US data plan subscription. Call it FUNDED. We have activated a paper money user associated with that account call it PAPER So we have a WIRED lan and two machines on it. Both running TWS. I want to log in to TWS on the FUNDED machine...

EXCELLENT point!!! thank you. Certainly tempered my "go fever" thanks @DevBru outstanding comment

yep progress doesn't come cheap. we've had a good year on the markets and this seems like it's a reasonable expense unless, other than the high cost, you can see a reason not to do it?

never would

that's what I thought until I watched this

anyone done this already ? the LG CX oled 48" seems like an ideal monitor replacement it's 4K Ultra HD (3,840 x 2,160) BUT I am concerned that TWS/Mosaic won't benefit from 4k hdmi 2.1 monitor hooked up to an RTX3000 series graphics card. Anyone tried this monitor out please?

I agree on all points. In this situation we think the GBP's going to move in A direction as brexit crunch time approaches. We just don't really know which way. That's why we wanted to know about a straddle. Also we can use the straddle price to give us an indication of the market's idea of sd...

Thanks @ffs1001 OUTSTANDING!!! just what I was looking for. I think I asked the wrong question originally by concentrating on the pairs. Thanks again.

thank you for the reply. we looked at that but couldn't see how to effectively do it. Have you ever traded options on currency futures and what was your opinion of it's utility?

ok thanks we just wanted to make sure we weren't missing something. Have a great evening.

thanks but how do I trade options on forex? that's the bit I'm missing?

Hi all we're new to IB and it's approach to FX. Our GUESS is that the atlantic peso ( GBP) is going to move around a bit over the next few months and want to put on some kind of STRADDLE surrounding a specific price. We do options on futures all the time so we have some idea how TWS or Mosaic...

thanks @guru we must have been looking in the wrong area. The midpoint is now selectable. Excellent work thanks.

Hi @guru we tried this just now and the mid-price is greyed out, any ideas why? We wouldn't have thought that the market NOT been open would matter to historical?

Hmm, not something we'd thought about! will certainly give that a shot. Thank you so much @guru most helpful.

Hi all we started using IB Mosaic and Tws coming from Thinkorswim. So far it's been pretty seamless but we can't figure out how to do the following? let's say we want to put on a strangle on CL ( crude ) using options on futures. So we want to see what the price behavior of the strategy has...

Hi all I just set up a watchlist on Mosaic and for some reason the fin instrument column has gone grey. I have attached a snapshot. I have a paid account and all my data subscriptions are current. I have two questions: 1 why has it gone grey, earlier it was fine.right now it's 10pm CST if that...

your observation makes a great deal of sense, thanks again.
