reqHistoricalData missing input in the example in documentation

[ecpgieicg]

Hi Abel,

Thank you for creating and sharing this package.

FYI, v9.72+ reqHistoricalData() requires an additional boolean before the empty list in the input. (Stipulated here.) So in the example,

session.eClientSocket.reqHistoricalData(1000001,contract,'20141230 16:00:00','1 Y','1 day','TRADES',1,1,[]); pause(0.5);

would need to be replaced with

session.eClientSocket.reqHistoricalData(1000001,contract,'20141230 16:00:00','1 Y','1 day','TRADES',1,1,false,[]); pause(0.5);

Your package itself still works smoothly.

Cheers

Indeed by adding "false" I get a better result

But still have a problem

I have connected Matlab to TWS, all seems OK because AccountSummaryExample returns all the info about my IB account

Then I execute contract = com.tws.ContractFactory.GenericStockContract('FB');

and get the variable contract well filled in:

val = conid 0 symbol FB strike 0.0 exchange SMART currency USD primaryExch ISLAND

Then I execute session.eClientSocket.reqHistoricalData(1000001,contract,'20141230 16:00:00','1 Y','1 day','TRADES',false,1,1,[]);

but get the following error:

1000001 321 Error validating request:-'bP' : cause - Please enter a valid security type

Why is the stock FB invalid here ?

[ecpgieicg]

You need to specify the security type. I am not with my computer atm. If memory serves, it's either STK or STOCK. Let me know if you can make it work.

Thank you for helping I forced STK into contract and stopped getting the invalid security error, sounds good But I got another error: enddates not supported with live updates

@GIL1105 You should follow the example in docs. Not sure why you are using contract factory. Please open a separate issue

@GIL1105 Be sure to initialize contracts as specified in the docs and as we discussed in your email yesterday

contract = com.ib.client.Contract(); contract.symbol('FB') contract.exchange('SMART'); contract.primaryExch('ISLAND'); contract.currency('USD'); contract.secType('STK');

@ecpgieicg looks like I didn't update the html when I did the code updates for v9.73. The actual codes (*.m) in the docs folder have been updated but the html is stale. I'll try to get that regenerated soon. Apologies for the confusion.

[ecpgieicg]

Sounds good. Cheers
