    Any cost-effective alternatives to IQ Feed with an API?

    IB's API (if you mean the communication protocol to/from TWS) is without doubt the worst I have ever seen. It grew like a fungus, with no intelligent direction, and is an enormous pain.

    Russia & Ukraine

    Elon Musk Offer to purchase Twitter

    Russia & Ukraine

    The following basically explains that what equipment Russians currently have is what they're gonna be able to use. There will be no significant new weapons manufactured.

    The "Avtotor" factory in Kaliningrad (that produced Kia and Hyundai cars) stopped production and sent its workers to what they euphemistically call a "vacation". No parts to build the cars from.

    Russia & Ukraine

    From an intercept: Russian tank regiment commander talking to another officer: "Mine are also very afraid. Everyone is exhausted. Can't raise them up either morally or physically. I even executed some and no results. Everyone is demoralized completely. Companies have 10-15 soldiers left at...
