9.64 Release

Published on July 14, 2010 in ATS, Interactive Brokers and Software Development. 3 Comments

Library version 9.6.4.16 is out! It corresponds to the Ib 9.64 api, and fixes numerous issues, most pressingly the decimal parsing for invariant cultures – no more expecting 9,23 as 9.23!

If you have any problems, contact me.

9.64 in the works

Published on May 19, 2010 in Interactive Brokers. 0 Comments

Just a heads up – I just saw the new 9.64 beta posted by Ib on May 5th, and will update the .Net library to support it. In the future if you see Ib make an update, give me a shout, it has been nearly a year between updates from them…

9.6.3.14 Release – Bug Fix Release

Published on August 3, 2009 in C#, Interactive Brokers and Software Development. 0 Comments

This release still corresponds to the Ib 9.63 beta release, but includes another bug Fix to the ReadDecimal sub routine which was plagued with some corner case floating point numbers which are now properly handled.

I also added an overload to RequestHistory which allows you to specify the duration to allow you to pass a string for duration directly to Ib.

If you have any problems, contact me.

Next Question

Published on July 21, 2009 in C#, Interactive Brokers and Software Development. 0 Comments

As I receive common emails, I will continue to post the question / answer. The next question is regarding initially connecting to TWS via an API:

  • I’m new to programming and I just don’t get your TestApp running. How exactly do I link to TWS ? Do I need to add any references or components from the IB API software?

In TWS you will need to goto Configure -> API -> Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients.
Next select Configure -> API -> All API Settings
In the window that appears, under Trusted IP Addresses, select Create, and add “127.0.0.1″ (The local machine) to the Trusted IP Addresses. Select OK, and you are good to go.

9.6.3.13 Release Corresponds to 9.63 Ib Api

Published on July 20, 2009 in C#, Interactive Brokers and Software Development. 0 Comments

It sure has been a long time coming, and many of these fixes have been available in subversion for quite some time, but the 9.6.3.13 release is complete. It has the following changes:

  • 9.6.3.13 New Release – 7/20/09
    • Update to Ib’s 9.63 api
    • Add shortable tickType
    • Fixes to ReadDecimal
    • Fix 1 second barsize enum.
    • Fixed Bug with IBClient.ReadDecimal()
    • Fixed bug in ExecutionFilter

I also reorganized subversion to relink all of the files’ history, I had accidentally broken things when I first made the archive public.

This release has not gone through quite the normal scrutiny of my prior releases, but it was so overdue, I thought I’d get it out there, and if you have any problems, contact me.
