Interactive Brokers setup

Before starting make sure you have TWS 864.4 or later installed and running properly

Prepare TWS

  • Open TWS
  • check menu Configure > API > Enable Active X and Socket Clients
  • menu Configure > Trusted IP Address add 127.0.0.1 (that's a local address on your machine)

Prepare QuoteIN

  • Open Feeds dialog box if IB is not already there click button Add and add it with an abbreviation of your choice (defaults to IB)
  • Set IB as default feed in menu QuoteIN > Feeds

You don't need to specify any username or password since connections go through TWS.

Quick test

  • Using menu QuoteIN > Examples open first example. Type IB on the left top cell. Quotes should update and stream if the market is open.
