For those of us that use Interactive Brokers is it possible to implement their market scanner directly into SC? https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/market_scanners.html#scanner_examples If we could do this we wouldn't need to scan the entire market via SC alerts and it would save us major bandwidth/data costs. If we could add these to our daily watchlist then we've got a way to do intraday trading based on IB's scans. Thanks |

This is on my list of to-do's as well. Currently I have a script for IB's Python API which writes results of a scanner to a .symbolList file, then I just figured to periodically-load that (e.g. every 5 min) in an Associated Watch List window, set symbols to charts, and go from there. I presume there's a more-seamless way to do it i.e. pipe in through an ACSIL script, but whatever satisfices. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-01-14 04:21:43

Interesting idea, it works but isn't as elegant as it could be. Is this work SC could do for a future release? or would we need to get custom programming help to integrate this? (question for SC Engineering) thanks

Just noticed that IB has a REST API now, so JSON encoding - here's their reference for getting a list of symbols in a market scanner: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/api/doc.html#tag/Scanner/paths/~1iserver~1scanner~1run/post Perhaps this would be easy enough to call from a C++ routine? |

I would be willing to pay someone to build a program that takes the IB market scanner and puts it into a quote board/watch list in SC. (Auto-updates on some set frequency) I would think any IB/SC user would want this functionality. If anyone has built this please let me know. Thanks
