A little, possibly unhelpful, detail from the TWS_API group... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2d. Re: historical and live recording of tick data From: Nick Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2018 12:56:50 PDT No, it's available to everyone although I think it is only described in the beta release notes and has not made it to the main documentation (at least I couldn't find it). It is similar to the DOM where you can only have a max of 5 concurrent TickByTick streams. This probably keeps the bandwidth requirements within what they can handle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FWIW, Nick is a long-time TWS API guy who is solid and knowledgeable.
Thank you srinir. I did not know that they offer more than 1 for options, but I expected he was talking about equites not options.
They do offer for equities, futures and options. I do not believe they have any restrictions on number of windows or securities.
