Interactive Brokers Python API - Advanced Concepts

Learn how to implement multithreading in Python to stream random integers, identify the first 10 values above 100 divisible by five, and store unique results for display across threads.

Learn to use multithreading to stream real-time prices and feed them into strategies, coordinating three threads: trading app, WebSocket input, and text stream that update a shared latest price variable.

Explore fetching open orders with the api using request all open orders to see active orders by client id, and learn that the execution api provides fill details.

Fetch executed orders using the IB API execution class and request executions, then apply an execution filter to retrieve details like execution id, time, price, and quantity.

Learn to extract updated positions from the Interactive Brokers Python API, fix duplication by refreshing or updating the position data frame, and update position and average cost on the fly.

Employ multi-threading to stream and refresh historical data for an open range breakout strategy. Use history data events and ticker events to synchronize threads and avoid duplicate candles.

Demonstrate an ORB strategy using the Interactive Brokers Python API to screen gap stocks, apply capitalization and gap filters, and place bracket orders with stop loss and take profit.

Plan and execute backtesting for the open range breakout strategy by selecting a stock universe, choosing time horizons, extracting daily and intraday data, and modeling slippage.

Learn to extract daily data for a universe of stocks to backtest an open range breakout strategy with the Interactive Brokers Python API, including end-date handling and multi-ticker data coordination.

Identify daily gap stocks by comparing open prices to the prior close and calculating the gap percentage, then compute the previous five-day average volume for backtesting.

Develop a backtesting workflow with the Interactive Brokers Python API to compute daily returns from five-minute data, including take profit, stop loss, slippage; include error handling and KPI reporting.
