Yes, that's about the only way to do it. But again, it's silly to have to jump through all these hoops to get around IB's nonsense. Frankly, it...
It's not looking like the TD API will work for me. It only seems to have partial functionality. For instance, I can't seem to get quotes for...
Sure, but that doesn't solve the problem of wanting to be logged in with the API and logged into the same account on, for instance, the mobile...
Yes, apparently it's open to all. See the link earlier in this thread.
Are you specifically pointing me to the phrase which says "Equity chart in new format may be supported later on (Date TBD)," thus implying that...

Ah, gotcha. You might be right. That hasn't affected me thus far.
I was literally just exchanging emails with TDA support and they told me about this. I just created an account. I had previously inquired about a...

What about TOS option spread execution is troubling? I've used them before with no issues. I currently have a TOS account and am relatively...
Margin.
... If Thinkorswim just had an API. So, I've been trying to use the IB API to develop a simple automated trading strategy. Technically, it works....
Perfect. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the info. That's great to know. Yes, I'm not worried about late trades being recorded and therefore influencing the settlement price....
