Description
This is a course in programming with the Trader Workstation Application Programming Interface (TWS API) for Python developers. In this course, we describe how to get started in developing Python applications that use the API.
We’ll show you where to find the software applications Trader Workstation (TWS) and IB Gateway on the IBKR website for download and installation. TWS and IB Gateway are the standalone software applications which integrates with our API that can be used with custom or third party trading applications. We’ll discuss the settings in TWS/IB Gateway which are necessary to connect an API client and those which can affect order placement.
