how to receive bars in background? #633

Closed avatarstones closed 1 year ago

avatarstones commented 1 year ago

For the examples in github.com/erdewit/ib_insync/blob/master/notebooks/bar_data.ipynb

After running

ib.sleep(30)

what should I do if I want to run other commands during this 30 seconds? In other words, how to run the waiting for data process ib.sleep(30) in background?

Thanks for your help!

Instead of ib.sleep there can be a loop that issues requests, for example for historical data. The realtime bars will still keep coming in.
