Step 0: Prepare

For Windows users, Anaconda Python is required. Python 2.7  or 3.xTutorial of running IBridgePy on Windows at YouTube

For Ubuntu users, IBridgePy supports Ubuntu plain Python 2.7 or 3.x 64-bit.

For Mac usersIBridgePy supports plain Python 2.7 64-bit, plain Python 3.x 64-bit. Tutorial of running IBridgePy on Mac at YouTube

Step 1:  Download IBridgePy to your local folder

You need to check the version of your Python, either Python 2.7 or Python 3.x and check if it is 32-bit Python or 64-bit Python. Then, download IBridgePy according to your Python version from www.IBridgePy.com/download
Assume the path of the folder where you save IBridgePy is C:\ABC\DEF\IBridgePy

Step 2: Download, install and config IB Trader Workstation(TWS) or IB Gateway

Please follow the instruction in this webpage to download, install and configure IB Gateway or IB Trader Workstation (TWS)

Step 3: Log in TWS or IB Gateway

IBridgePy can trade using either IB live accounts or paper accounts. It is highly recommended to test your strategies in a paper account. If you don’t have an IB account yet, you can apply a paper account. After you finish this step, either IB Gateway or TWS should be open and active.

Step 4: Spyder is not required to run IBridgePy

Spyder is not required but it is recommended for Windows users. Other IDEs can be used as long as the correct Python executable file is used.

Step 5: Edit RUN_ME.py in Spyder (Spyder is not required, for demo purpose only)

Open RUN_ME.py  (C:\ABC\DEF\IBridgePy\RUN_ME.py) in Spyder.

Put your IB account code into RUN_ME.py

put_in_account_code

 Step 6: Run your algorithm in Spyder.

Actually, you need to run RUN_ME.py to run your algorithm in Spyder so that you can think RUN_ME.py as a main entrance to any customer’s algorithms. In Spyder, you can click “F5” or the green triangle to run a Python script.

run_scripts

Step 8: Watch out any error messages

After IBridgePy completes its initialization procedures, it will print out a summary of your accounts. If you see a similar summary, it means that IBridgePy gets connected with IB Gateway / TWS successfully.

acc_summary

If you see any error messages, you may follow the error messages to debug.

There are many reasons for errors. You may debug from the following areas:

  1. The bugs come from IBridgePy. We will try our best to fix the bugs coming from IBridgePy.
  2. IB servers may not response as you expect. For example, you may not receive historical data around 6PM eastern time, 1:30 AM eastern time because of IB maintenance or data server updates.
  3. Demo account, paper account and live account behave differently.
  4. Bugs in customer’s algorithms.

  1. hi

    For Mac or Ubuntu user, please DO NOT install Anaconda <– if i don't install Anaconda, how can i download spyder?

    and i hv Python3.6 installed, and IBridgePy is 2.7 for Mac, can it works ?

    regards
    toby

  2. Hi Dr. Liu,

    I followed instruction and try to run the first example: example_show_positions.py. But got the following error message:

    brokerName = InteractiveBrokers; dataProviderName = InteractiveBrokers
    runMode = regular
    IBridgePy version 3.1.6
    fileName = example_show_positions.py
    IBridgePy.IBAccountManager:EXIT errorId = -1, errorCode = 326, error message: Unable connect as the client id is already in use. Retry with a unique client id.
    IBridgePy.IBAccountManager:EXIT IBridgePy version = 3.1.6
    An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

    SystemExit

    Spyder would not trace the super_configuration.txt file, so I am stuck and don’t know what to do.

    Could you give some clue? I am sure I don’t have a second client trying to access TWS. Shouldn’t an previously exited program automatically release the client id?

    Thanks very much for your help.

    1. jvandenbroeck

      I have the same issue, I think I’ll try a different library it’s such a pain to setup, register, download,.. I got this error and tried to change the client id in the config file and I got an error message that this is only supported in the “premium” version.

    1. Could you elaborate ?
      I am not familiar with Python but I can understand basic script.
      I am getting this error while few weeks ago I did not and I could send order to IB.
      Now I cant.
      Thanks

  3. Hi ! I executed the code and I receive the following error:

    Exchange of FUT ECF is missing.
    Please add this str_security in IBridgePy/security_info.csv
    An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

    Do you have a sollution to this ? Thank you very much for your help

  4. I executed RUN_ME.py and got error message
    File “…\IBridgePy\IbridgepyTools.py”, line 29, in
    from IBridgePy import IBCpp
    ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

    But file IBCpp.pyd exists!!!

        1. Thanks, followed the link and verified the setup, everything looks fine.

          Had installed and tried many python modules, followed many tutorials, never had this problem, very strange.

  5. Hi,

    I had the IBCPP error above, moved to 3.6 and it got resolve, thank you. Now I get this KeyedIbridgePyOrders.py error, for any of the file I try to run, here’s the complete message:

  6. hi..ibridgepy for linux only works in ubuntu? I’m trying to run this on arch and I get

    IBridgePy version 5.7.2
    fileName = example_show_positions.py
    broker_client_factory.BrokerClient::request_data: EXIT, the following requestRecord failed
    {reqId=3;reqType=reqPositions;followUp=True;param={}}

    this happen with every request, I check and interactive broker is correctly configured, also I tried 3.6 and 3.7 python version

    not sure how enable DEBUG as loglevel, I tried as env var and passing as argument to python RUN_ME.py and in any case this work

    thank you

  7. broker_client_factory.CallBacks:errorId=-1 errorCode=502 errorMessage=Couldn’t connect to TWS. Confirm that “Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients” is enabled on the TWS “Configure->API” menu.
    broker_client_factory.CallBacks:EXIT IBridgePy version= 5.7.6

    after installation, trying RUN_ME.py, got above message – i have enabled the “activeX and Socket Clients”, what else should i do?

  8. I am running on a Mac with Anaconda running OSX 10.15.2 (Catalina).

    First I downloaded and installed the IB Gateway and configured it to use socket port 7496 as described. I did note that only the Interactive Brokers API Server is connected. The other two (FIX Server and FIX Client) are not connected. That probably makes sense but I thought I would mention it just in case.

    Then I downloaded the version of IBridgePy above. Given that it is Python 2.7… I created an environment in Anaconda for Python 2.7 and tried to run the TEST_ME.py script (after updating it with my accountCode). The first try failed because the pandas package was not installed. So I installed that and tried again. This time:

    (py2) Johns-iMac-2:IBridgePy jlynde$ python TEST_ME.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “TEST_ME.py”, line 2, in

    /Users/jlynde/IBridgePy/IBridgePy/IBCpp.so: code signature in (/Users/jlynde/IBridgePy/IBridgePy/IBCpp.so) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: library load disallowed by system policy

    Questions:
    1) Did I miss a step and not configure something? Can you point me to what I missed?
    2) Is there going to be a version of IBridgePy for Mac / Anaconda Python 3 coming any time soon? I would much prefer to code in Python 3.x.

    Thanks,
    John
