Excuse me.
I am looking at the contract info and also at the contract details received via API of a turbo option to find the barrier value.

Can anyone please tell me what is the name of the field, or where I can find the barrier value.

Below is a sample (just a random example) of the values from contract info and contract details I am looking at, but I seem to be missing the one I am looking for. Any idea where this guy is ?

That would be the 'strike' value, I think.

In this case, in the info dialog that you get when double clicking the instrument name ("6310C") on the TWS you can see ("Knock-out Price", what I am looking for, is 6.5, different from the strike):

(In some cases they may coincide. Not in general.)

Clearly I am using IB API and I am interested in fetching this value through the API. Where is it stored?
 
Sure NickNLD: if no one knows here on ET, I will open a ticket.

I think it could be good information to be shared, as I am probably not the only one who will ever need it for algorithmic trading.
 
Update after inquiry: it looks like it is not (currently) included in the contract details retrieved via API.
Obviously, it's information that should instead be included.

PS
In theme of API improvements, also another very crucial piece of missing information in the API are the events informing about liquidation orders details (at least: avgprice/fill/comms/time).
