Because my last interaction with IB customer service took 2 months to resolve even after escalation via phone calls. They basically don't care. The only reason I'm still with them is I have my code plugged into their datafeeds and I can't be bothered to change at the moment.

Thanks. I'm not looking to specifically trade iron ore contracts (yet); but doing some checks to confirm that the product listing page is the full list of all securities traded. The TIO contract below doesn't appear on the listing page, do you know why?

Hi, I'm able to find iron ore futures contract using the TIO symbol in TWS. How can I find this on the IB product listing page: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=products Tried searching and looking under futures > comex. I thought I might be able to get a full listing of...

Anyone know of any way to escalate tech support to Interactive Brokers? I've had a query that hasn't been resolved for 2 weeks. Response has been generic and unhelpful.

Just dabbling with pairs trading at the moment. The chart below shows the spread of a highly cointegrated pair (p value = 5e-7). Data is based on 1 minute bar close, over a period of 6 months. Regression was done over the whole 6 months for simplicity. I'm surprised to see long periods of...

Thanks @ph1l this is great. Took me a while to figure out how to navigate to this page for other stocks but figured it out

Hi, Anyone know where I can programmatically get financial data (e.g. income statement, cash flow, maybe balance sheet)? Need to include australian equities. Either need an API or a website that can be easily scraped. Had a look at the following: -Yahoo finance - 4 years of data only -IB TWS...

If I knew specifics I would not need to ask the question :) Let me generalise - what setup do you use to reduce the chance of connection or compute downtime? Would have thought a cloud VPS would provide this and you can choose a location close to the IB servers...

Has anyone here had experience using a server? Is this the best way to go if people like QuantConnect can't support your market? Any recommendations? And yes I'm aware finding the alpha is the hardest part.

What's the best way to set up live algo trading? Looking to intraday trade australian and canadian etfs and futures. I'm with IB so thinking to hire a VPS and run TWS + some python/C++ scripts? Initially I was thinking to use QuantConnect as the workflow is quite seamless but it doesn't appear...

Thanks, a wealth of knowledge this forum is. It's 'possible' using ycharts and SEC filings but involves a lot of manual compiling. All I'm trying to do is put together a similar data to Robert Schiller but for Nasdaq. Surprised someone hasn't already done and published this. For now I think the...

Where can I source the nasdaq100 (or something close to NDX) historical earnings going back as far as possible, preferably prior to tech bubble. Just the total earnings is fine.

I came across the dataset put together by Robert Schiller for S&P500 which is really interesting if looking at overall market valuation. http://www.econ.yale.edu/~shiller/data.htm There is also an interesting read in Fortune: https://fortune.com/.../s-and-p-500-bubble-stock-market.../ Does...

Looking for suggestions for some leading economic indicators please; both in general and more industry specific ones... I'm just interested to look at trends on the the real economy amidst the sensationalism in the news. Not interested in stuff that get affected by trading speculation like...

Curious as to which broker you went with, or if you/anyone here has done some research. For retail trader like me, hard to beat the data feed I can get from IB. Cheaper than elsewhere and so many asset classes available giving me the option if needed later. I ended up using IB for live data...

Raised a ticket with IB yesterday. Given it's a long weekend understandably they haven't responded. I have no interest in getting into an argument, hence this is my last response to you.

Spoke to an IB rep late last year on the phone. The answer was no, I can't get over this restriction.

Thanks. I think we're on the same page. In summary, if getting historical bars to current time, it will include the bar that hasn't been finalised.

You might have exposed my ignorance here... I've assumed that to produce the 8:47 bar it uses prices from 8:46:00 to 8:47:00. In other words 8:47:00 is the last price used. However I think what you're saying is the 8:47 bar uses prices from 8:47:00 to 8:47:59 ?

Okay this is a problem that I noticed before but only now have managed to document it properly. I'm using reqMktData to get minute bars but it appears the completed bar prices changes over time. Almost always the price that you get immediately after the bar is complete will change at least over...
