Have you seen this? https://github.com/erdewit/ib_insync Highly recommended. Can be run in a blocking or non-blocking fashion. The advantage of this project in addition to code quality is that it wraps the official IB Python API. Cheers

Yes, Chris, have seen it. I'm sure it's excellent, but I have a slight reservation about being dependent on a third party package for my trading (like with my first system) rather than going straight into the official API. If I have time I might do an alternative API within pysystemtrade that uses erdewit's package rather than my own code to interact with IB (Leaving this open as an idea)
