some stupid questions from me because I have not yet tested this myself: > this is also why the API can only handle 100 symbols at once because > the API is actually flowing through the TWS.
assuming the normal symbol limit of 100 symbols (not the higher quota for very active traders): 1) Do IB customers get the 100 API symbols IN ADDITION TO the symbols viewed on a TWS page? 2) When a customer is viewing 100 API symbols via the API, can he still watch realtime symbols in the TWS? And if this is the case, do the symbols watched on a TWS page have to be the same as the symbols watched via API (Amibroker plugin)? --- In [email protected], "mikelaurataylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The interactive broker interface (TWS) allows you to have multiple > tabs or pages. > > Within any one tab or page you can have up to 100 symbols (unless you > "earn" more by being an active trader) presenting data to you at one > time.
