    hello
    Thank you for your reply
    I know Beetrader.
    Tos cannot be used in real in Europe.
    And the dempo of TOS has delayed data of 15 min.

    I understand, I use TOS from the UK and I am aware about the limits in Italy.

    If tos realtime would do the job, an access to London would save you some time and money.

    An intern could do this in a day or two. Reimplement tws option navigator. I'll do it for a retainer of $50k usd. Python is more than capable

    I should have known that my joke would be wasted on a humorless automaton and language bigot like dd.

  8. You showed the joke card when I called you off.
    You never meant to crack a joke.

    Time to learn boy:

    If you had any idea of how to retrieve options from the IB API you would know that you need a proper language that can handle several async calls in real time.

    Unfortunately Python is a piece of shit and can't handle real async calls.

    https://oscar-evertsson.medium.com/why-i-avoid-async-python-when-i-can-dfa383a2125c

    For any option chain that you want to retrieve, when calling the IB API, you have to retrieve first the option parameters and two contracts per strike. Meaning that if you want to display an option chain with 10 strikes you would need 20 subscriptions to real time market data.

    Good luck doing that with Python, and we are not even talking about displaying that on a UI. Another shit show.

    Now this is what is flying over your head.

  10. It is my fault actually. Whenever I see Python developers I should just stay away and let them think that they are using a proper language.

    After all with these arguments all I am doing is teaching you guys proper programming.
