IB API CFDs

Hi,

Simple question, is it possible to trade CFD's (US stocks) through the TWS API? I am in the U.K. so I have access to them.

why not? try it on paper account

 

I haven't opened an account yet, wanted to know prior as it may dissuade me.

 

then email them your question.it's should be your first or second step

I will do that, emailed them yesterday not heard back yet.

 

Yes, You can trade the CFD's on offer via the TWS API.

 

Good news, thanks def.

 

To be clear, CFDs are not available for US residents and only via IBUK.

For US residents and stocks, if you're looking for a similar type product, look no further than single stock futures trading on One Chicago.
