INTERACTIVE BROKERS - PYTHON SOFTWARE FOR USING THEIR APIS

One of the most powerful trading platforms for stocks, options and commodities is that of Interactive Brokers. And for hard-core traders such as KukaXoco Finance, we like to be able to integrate out signal generation systems with the IB platform using their Application Programming Interface (API). This allows us to focus all of our attention on execution, and using our software for the nitty-gritty details of placing orders.

What follows is some of the Python software we have written, for your use as well.

GENERATING A LIST OF YOUR OPEN ORDERS

Vital to trading is knowing that stocks positions you have are currently opened. Maybe your order was not filled entirely. Maybe you forgot to place an order. You need to know. The following Python code will allow you to generate a list of your open trades in your IB account. It will generate a file, CurrentPositions.temp, which you can access with other programs to generate a nice, formatted list of your open trades.
