    Hi everybody,

    I am a new programmer with the IB api.
    and i have some difculties with reqMktDept()

    This function call
    updateMktDepth(). But there isnt the Market Maker here.

    I would like to call
    updateMktDepthL2()

    Someone could explain me how marketDepth work with the IB API and how get the market maker for L2 ???





    m_contract.m_symbol = "SPY";
    m_contract.m_secType ="STK";
    m_contract.m_exchange ="SMART";

    if you are trading stocks... I recommend looking for another brokerage before you go to IB. they charge you .013 / share if you route directly to a specific exchange rather than using SMART.
