Here is a script I am using to request market data.
I am not subscribed to the data-feed yet, so I though it would automatically return delayed market data, but apparently I have to enable it, but cannot find where to do that.
Here is the script and the errors I get, all I need is to receive delayed data, so I can test my algorithm.
from ib.opt import ibConnection, message
from ib.ext.Contract import Contract
from time import sleep
def fundamentalData_handler(msg):
print(msg)
def error_handler(msg):
print(msg)
tws = ibConnection(port=7496, clientId=100)
tws.register(error_handler, message.Error)
tws.register(fundamentalData_handler, message.fundamentalData)
tws.connect()
c = Contract()
c.m_symbol = 'AAPL'
c.m_secType = 'STK'
c.m_exchange = "SMART"
c.m_currency = "USD"
print "on it"
tws.reqMktData(897,c,"",False)
sleep(50)
tws.disconnect()
The error:
