IB's "IBIS"

Quote from jazzguysoca:

Thanks very much for the reply, IBsoft.

Hmm...Is there any way I can just pay for additional symbols?

I'd like to run 200 to 300 real time quote lines via the API (instead of the 100 I'm limited to now).

Thanks again!


PS: Note that I use the TWSAPI (not Fix - just to make sure we're on the same page).

Thanks for the head's up. So $30/mo per 100 additional quotes, with an upper limit of 1000 additional quotes total.

Note that this is certainly helpful and cost effective, but once you reach ~500 quotes total, services like IQFeed become more competitive. Perhaps IB could offer a 1000 quote package that beats or matches IQFeed's price....

Thanks again!

Is there a way to click trade on the IBIS watch list? How do I enable it if it's possible? Also is there a search function for the streaming news?

It is now possible to click trade on the IBIS watch list. You need to use the Beta TWS version 923 to access that functionality.

Could see this one coming a mile away. The ET crowd have all been saying they'd be happy to pay up for more IB symbols. Now that they actually <i>can</i>, they'll complain about the price.

The good old 80/20. 80% of the clients do all the bitching and incessant feature requests while only bringing in 20% of the commissions.
 
I wasn't exactly bitching - I'm very much an IB advocate. But I'm also in this business to make money; If you guys feel the need to pay your broker more than you have to, go for it.

Excellent, this has been needed for a very very long time.

Take a long vacation....no quotes the next month....low quotes=low # of trades, and the cycle repeats. Many of us had to arrange alternate quote services or back up brokers due to this.

IB needs to move away from the 100 symbol limit. Even if an advisor account was given 500 symbols for free, or at low cost to cover exchange fees, it would benefit the company by generating additional customer trading fees.
