You will need to ask IB what subscriptions you need to place orders. They may make you pay for a basic data subscription (without depth book, for instance) just to get trading access. They have chat support that can probably answer your question in 30 minutes (or less if you are lucky ;).
Legally there is no issue with using real-time data for trading (that is what it is for!) unless I am missing something. Just look at the contract you sign when you buy the data feed subscription. Generally the agreement is that you will not be distributing this datafeed to other people, or using it on tons of computers, etc. On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 11:42 PM, Suryo Hadiningrat <[email protected]>wrote: > It's ok for me ...
