The only reason you'd use those codes is if you wanted to highly automate your processing. For example, if you traded hundreds of transactions and/or wanted to write software that helped prepare your taxes year after year or for multiple accounts. So, if you have "zero knowledge of programming"...

Unless you're a masochist.

As much as I like Python, that seems to be par on its course. The package installer for Python (pip) addresses this to some degree but there's no cure-all... c'est la vie. Don't even get me started about the transition from Python2 to Python3.

We could ask the same thing of you precious snowflake.

Yeah... I'm also a fan of both python and selenium. But, with due respect, what ticked me off about the code you posted was that it didn't "stand alone". That is, a user couldn't just copy and paste it and have it work without going to some significant extra effort. Of course this could be...

You were wrong :cool:

Bringing selenium and python into the picture for this might be overkill. It can be done in a line or two of bash instead: xmllint --html --shell <(curl -s 'https://ibkr.info/node/4706') <<< \ 'cat //table[last()]/tbody/tr/td[1]/text()' | fgrep -ve ISIN -e ---- -e/

Laughing at oneself is, apparently, a dying art.

At least you'd get some cardio walking down to the corner store that sells the tickets. And I hear half your losses get donated to the public childcare system. I knew this guy who used to call them "suicide options"... I assume because you'd only buy them if you had nothing to live for; lol...

better off playing mega-millions imho

Interesting. I was actually about to caution that one problem with a notification getting tripped for something like the VIX is... that if it's toggling right around your limit (e.g. vix 19.999/20 every 30ms and your trigger is >=20) you could potentially send a huge number of email/sms...

And here I was about to suggest writing something "special"... won't deny I like to do things the hard way sometimes: #!/usr/bin/env python3 # https://ib-insync.readthedocs.io/recipes.html#async-streaming-ticks import asyncio, sys, os import ib_insync as ibi class App: async def...

Check and mate!

Lol, yeah... it's easy to do either. The true difficulty happens when it comes time to somehow combine the acts and show a consistent profit. I find it's easiest to buy them as a sort of tribute and gratitude for the privilege of selling them. That way, hopefully, you never actually NEED to buy...

Congrats. Btw, I was making a snide joke when I said: Don't worry... with a little luck you'll get the punchline in a few years.

These kinds of issues creep up all the time. You need to get used to "bisecting" the path/pipeline of components from least expensive to most expensive in order to isolate what's at fault (i.e. failing). In your particular situation, as an example, I'd follow this type of procedure: Plug the...

Big mistake... you should've planned on going to Maui and staying at the White Lotus. "Whenever I stay at a White Lotus, I always have a memorable time. Always."

Agree completely, IB has its share of problems but so do others. That's why I only quoted the relevant part in my previous reply. When you first notice a problem though... you usually place some extra blame on the immediate cause. I think it's just human nature.

There are lots of "Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology" disk tools. Such tests are good but I wouldn't consider the results to be absolute gospel; sometimes they can give false positives/negatives. So, if you really value your data... make sure it's backed up onto some kind of...
