  3. Excellent, thanks. I was starting to read through the API docs. Have you used it? I'm having trouble searching for options and futures instruments, for instance, using the Search Instruments API call. I can search for basic equities (e.g., "IBM") but nothing else seems to work. In particular, it's not clear what regex library it uses. Is there any sort of developer forum in which to ask questions?

    Thousands of people like to condemn & criticize IB.
    And it is obvious in this ET forum.
    There are hundreds of brokers & trading platforms in this world.
    So always look for alternative solution.
    Always have backup solution.

    The more negative you are, the more $$$ you will lose from trading.

    Amitaba. Peace be with you. Or whatever.

    Holy balls this sounds awful. I bitch about IB from time to time, but at least I can see what's going on in the thing I'm trying to trade.

    Are you saying this is no longer the case and it's open to all?

  10. Yes, apparently it's open to all. See the link earlier in this thread.
