Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Running Multiple TWS Instances Keep in mind that you can only receive market depth for up to 3 symbols from Interactive Brokers at a time.
Would this require me to open another individual IB account. I would like take 6-9 trades all within a 5-15 minute timeframe. This would require me to buy option symbols of the same strike. I'm currently in the midst of opening an additional 2 linked accounts and in turn run 3 instances of SC along with said accounts. This should solve my ability to take 3 trades of the same symbol. Would it not be wise to open a total of 9 linked accounts along with 9 SC instances to trade 9 individual times? Any ideas? |

This information about the three symbol limit regarding market depth data could be old and outdated. You need to find out from Interactive Brokers what the current limit is. Let us know so we can update the documentation. Would it not be wise to open a total of 9 linked accounts along with 9 SC instances to trade 9 individual times? This might be a good idea if you are doing automated trading.

This is my correspondence with IB related to using multiple symbols. David D: Hello, this is 'David D'. How may I help you? eggnog999: Hi David, I recently received this message from IB "You are receiving this notification as the U.S Securities & Futures Value Bundle for Non-Professional s 1 will deactivate as of the close of business March 29, 2017 (Today). " Im curious what market data option would allow me to receive market depth for up to 3 symbols from Interactive Brokers at a time. Im currently just trading TSLA and am wanting to use more that 3 symbols. Is this possible with just 1 IB account? David D: Account Management - Manage Account - Trade Config - Market Data – North America eggnog999: Yes, I see multiple options eggnog999: What would apply to get multiple market data for 1 symbol? David D: NYSE (Network A/CTA) (NP,L1) USD 1.5 AMEX (Network B/CTA) (NP,L1) USD 1.5 NASDAQ (Network C/UTP)(NP,L1) USD 1.5 eggnog999: so I could get 9 symbols loaded with data within these options you stated? David D: yes eggnog999: great thx |
