using reqMatchingSymbols #73

Open dakr001 opened 4 years ago

dakr001 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Another query from me please. I'm experimenting with using the reqMatchingSymbols function see below.

[symbolBuf,symbolllh] = TWS.initBufferForEvent(TWS.Events.SYMBOLSAMPLES); session.eClientSocket.reqMatchingSymbols(100,'USD-T'); pause(2) x = collection2cell(symbolBuf.get().data);

Got the error below: The class TWS.Events has no Constant property or Static method named 'SYMBOLSAMPLES'.

Where can I find the correct property/method for this call?

Thanks.

The SYMBOLSAMPLES event is ot exposed so it won't work with IB4m. If you need it you will have to ask Abel to change that. I never needed it... Here is a list of all the events that shall work with IB4m:

NOTIFICATION = 'TWS_NOTIFICATION' ; REALTIMEBAR = 'TWS_REALTIMEBAR' ; HISTORICALDATA = 'TWS_HISTORICALDATA' ; ACCOUNTSUMMARY = 'TWS_ACCOUNTSUMMARY' ; ACCOUNTUPDATE = 'TWS_ACCOUNTUPDATE' ; POSITIONS = 'TWS_POSITIONS' ; MARKETDATA = 'TWS_MARKETDATA' ; MARKETMETADATA = 'TWS_MARKETMETADATA' ; MARKETDEPTH = 'TWS_MARKETDEPTH' ; CONTRACTDETAILS = 'TWS_CONTRACTDETAILS' ; OPENORDER = 'TWS_OPENORDER' ; ORDERSTATUS = 'TWS_ORDERSTATUS' ; PORTFOLIOUPDATE = 'TWS_PORTFOLIOUPDATE' ; EXECUTIONDETAILS = 'TWS_EXECUTIONDETAILS' ; NEXTORDERID = 'TWS_NEXTORDERID' ; SCANNERDATA = 'TWS_SCANNERDATA' ; OPTIONCOMPUTATION = 'TWS_OPTIONCOMPUTATION' ; ERROR = 'TWS_ERROR' ; TIME = 'TWS_TIME' ; CONNECTIONCLOSED = 'TWS_CONNECTIONCLOSED' ; COMMISSIONREPORT = 'TWS_COMMISSIONREPORT' ; MARKETRULE = 'TWS_MARKETRULE' ; HEADTIMESTAMP = 'TWS_HEADTIMESTAMP' ; FINANCIALADVISORY = 'TWS_FINANCIALADVISORY' ; FUNDAMENTALDATA = 'TWS_FUNDAMENTALDATA' ;

Despair2000 - thanks again for your insights :)

My reason for needing this is to compile a list of bond contracts. The symbols published on the IB website can't be used to search for the bond contracts.

Abel - can you please enable the SYMBOLSAMPLES event? Hopefully you read this thread.

Regards.

Let me check what is needed to support this api call. Usually no problem but don’t want to over promise.
