Interactive Brokers API
Racket implementation for the Interactive Brokers’ Trader Workstation Client API.
This implementation is based on the Java TWS API version 976.01. The protocol used to communicate between the client and server establishes the client version and should allow the server to continue consuming and producing messages compatible with our version even when the server is updated. However, when there are desirable new features added, this library may be updated and its version number updated to reflect the version of the TWS API the new code uses.
The overall design of this library is to use objects to represent the connection and request messages and to use structs to represent response messages. Using objects for the connection and request messages seemed to make the process of creation easier as there are many fields that are often not cared about and can be omitted. We also use an interface and a base class for request messages. For response message, we stick to structs as we don’t care about inheritance, nor do we need an ease-of-use creation method as the library creates the fully-filled-in instances. This is maybe a weird design.
1 Establishing a connection
| (require interactive-brokers-api) | |
| package: interactive-brokers-api | |
The general code flow to establish a (default) connection and send a message is as follows:
(define ibkr (new ibkr-session%)) (send ibkr connect) ; The connection should be established after call to connect ; Doing the below may be useful for testing (require interactive-brokers-api/request-messages) (send ibkr send-msg (new executions-req%))
This object is responsible for establishing a connection, sending messages, and registering callbacks to receive messages. One
quirk of this implementation is that calls to send-msg will block until we receive a response. During testing, it was
seen that attempting to send multiple requests without waiting for a response forced a disconnect.

Encryption is not used currently; this library is not recommended to be used over an unsecure network.All response handlers will execute in the same, separate thread from the thread that constructs ibkr-session%.
The write-messages field, when set to #t, will write both request and response messages to the current-output-port.
When called, a thread is created to read from the socket and call the appropriate response handler with the received message. Currently, this thread will die when the connection is interruped. When this happens, I just create a new ibkr-session% to connect again rather than attempt to call connect on the existing session.
method
msg : (is-a?/c req-msg<%>) Sends a message over the established session. See the request-messages section for information on available request messages.
2 Request messages
| (require interactive-brokers-api/request-messages) | |
| package: interactive-brokers-api | |
2.1 Base interface and class
|
This interface makes sure all request messages provide a ->string method that can be used to serialize the object into a
string that can be processed by the server.
This is the base class for all request messages. There is no need for a client of this library to instantiate this class. This
class is just a declaration that each request message will contain a msg-id and version.
2.2 Account Data
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive account-value-rsps and portfolio-value-rsps. Each component of an account (e.g Net
Liquidation, Account Code, Cash Balance, etc.) will be received in an individual response; there is no large structure or map
that will be returned that has all of the account components. Likewise for the components of a portfolio. If you wish to aggregate
the account and portfolio components, you will need to do that in your own application code. To receive account data, do:
(send ibkr send-msg (new account-data-req% [subscribe #t]))
By default subscribe is #f. To actually subscribe to data, you will need to set this value to #t. When
you are finished consuming account data, you can do the following to unsubscribe:
(send ibkr send-msg (new account-data-req% [subscribe #f]))
constructor
(new account-data-req% [ [subscribe subscribe] [account-code account-code]]) → (is-a?/c account-data-req%) subscribe : boolean? = #f account-code : string? = ""
2.3 Contract Details
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive a contract-details-rsp. Here, if there is any ambiguity in your request, you will receive all of
the contract details that match your request. As an example,
(send ibkr send-msg (new contract-details-req% [symbol "AAPL"] [security-type 'opt] [strike 200.0]))
will retrieve all actively trading AAPL options with a strike price of 200.0. By filling in more fields in your request, you are more
likely to retrieve a single result if that is your objective.
constructor
(new contract-details-req% [ [request-id request-id] [contract-id contract-id] [symbol symbol] [security-type security-type] [expiry expiry] [strike strike] [right right] [multiplier multiplier] [exchange exchange] [primary-exchange primary-exchange] [currency currency] [local-symbol local-symbol] [trading-class trading-class] [security-id-type security-id-type] [security-id security-id]]) → (is-a?/c contract-details-req%) request-id : integer? = 0 contract-id : integer? = 0 symbol : string? = ""

2.4 Executions (otherwise known as trades)
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive execution-rsps. As an example,
(send ibkr send-msg (new executions-req% [timestamp (-period (now/moment) (days 7))]))
will retrieve all executions within a week.
constructor
(new executions-req% [ [request-id request-id] [client-id client-id] [account account] [timestamp timestamp] [symbol symbol] [security-type security-type] [exchange exchange] [side side]]) → (is-a?/c executions-req%) request-id : integer? = 0 client-id : integer? = 0 account : string? = "" timestamp : (or/c moment? #f) = #f symbol : string? = ""
security-type :

2.5 Historical Data
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive historical-data-rsps. The interesting part of this response are the bars
that are sent back and can be used for display in a chart. As an example,
(send ibkr send-msg (new historical-data-req% [request-id 22] [symbol "UPS"] [security-type 'stk] [exchange "SMART"]))
will retrieve 1-hour (bar-size default) open-high-low-close bars from yesterday to today
(end-moment and duration defaults) representing trades (what-to-show default).
As of 2020-09-03, the smallest set of data at the finest resolution is to request 1-second bars over a duration of 30
seconds.
You will need to track the relationship between your request-id and your parameters as the returned historical-data-rsps
will not have the symbol, security-type, etc. information.
constructor

2.6 Market Data
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive streaming market-data-rsps. As an example,
(send ibkr send-msg (new market-data-req% [request-id 23] [symbol "UPS"] [security-type 'stk] [exchange "SMART"]))
will subscribe to (at least) bid/ask price and size updates.
You will need to track the relationship between your request-id and your parameters as the returned market-data-rsps
will not have the symbol, security-type, etc. information.
constructor
(new market-data-req% [ [request-id request-id] [contract-id contract-id] [symbol symbol] [security-type security-type] [expiry expiry] [strike strike] [right right] [multiplier multiplier] [exchange exchange] [primary-exchange primary-exchange] [currency currency] [local-symbol local-symbol] [trading-class trading-class] [combo-legs combo-legs] [delta-neutral-contract-id delta-neutral-contract-id] [delta-neutral-delta delta-neutral-delta] [delta-neutral-price delta-neutral-price] [generic-tick-list generic-tick-list] [snapshot snapshot] [regulatory-snapshot regulatory-snapshot] [market-data-options market-data-options]]) → (is-a?/c market-data-req%) request-id : integer? = 0 contract-id : integer? = 0 symbol : string? = ""

| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to stop receiving market-data-rsps.
constructor
(new cancel-market-data-req% [[request-id request-id]])
→ (is-a?/c cancel-market-data-req%) request-id : integer? = 0
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to change the type of market data received using calls to market-data-req%.
As an example,
(send ibkr send-msg (new market-data-type-req% [market-data-type 'delayed-frozen]))
will allow subsequent market-data-req% calls to first retrieve real-time market data if available;
if not, delayed market data will be retrieved; if delayed data is unavailable, delayed frozen
(last available market data) data will be retrieved.
Using market-data-type-req% is useful when subscribing to market data using a demo account where
real-time data may not be supported.
constructor
(new market-data-type-req% [[market-data-type market-data-type]])
→ (is-a?/c market-data-type-req%)
market-data-type : (or/c 'real-time 'frozen 'delayed 'delayed-frozen) = 'real-time
2.7 Orders
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to receive all open-order-rsps. There are no fields to provide here to filter for particular
open orders.
constructor
| ||
superclass: ibkr-msg% | ||
|
Request message to place an order. As you can see below, there are tons of different fields to produce an order that is
as complex as you desire. Certain fields might interfere with others or be required by others. Despite this class’
many fields, it is likely that you will just be doing something simple like the following:
(send ibkr send-msg (new place-order-req% [symbol "AAPL"] [security-type 'stk] [exchange "SMART"] [currency "USD"] [action 'buy] [total-quantity 100] [limit-price 200.0]))
Any questions related to which fields do what should first consult the IBKR docs or IBKR themselves. The fields of this
class are intended to exactly match those in the Java client library.
Be sure to add a handler for next-valid-id-rsp in ibkr-session% so that you don’t run into any errors
as a result of reusing an order ID. Order IDs are unique integers over the life of an account.

When receiving contract details, it is often nice to use the contract-id for subsequent new order or market data
requests as these identifiers are unique.

This response should be saved locally so that calls to place-order-req% can include this saved value. It is not recommended
to just track order IDs independently of what the API is giving you. As a reminder, it is necessary to provide an order ID to
place-order-req%.

(struct bar ( moment open high low close volume weighted-average-price count) #:extra-constructor-name make-bar) moment : moment? open : rational? high : rational? low : rational? close : rational? volume : integer? weighted-average-price : rational? count : integer?
This struct is returned as part of a historical-data-rsp.
struct
(struct combo-leg ( contract-id ratio action exchange open-close short-sale-slot designated-location exempt-code) #:extra-constructor-name make-combo-leg) contract-id : integer? ratio : integer? action : (or/c 'buy 'sell 'sshort) exchange : string? open-close : (or/c 'same 'open 'close #f) short-sale-slot : (or/c 0 1 2) designated-location : string? exempt-code : integer?
Use combo-leg within place-order-req% when you want to place a spread. This is commonly done for options
and will work for many strategies. Note that you can only provide contract-id, which you can retrieve from
contract-details-req%.
struct
(struct condition ( type boolean-operator comparator value contract-id exchange trigger-method security-type symbol) #:extra-constructor-name make-condition)
type :
(or/c 'price 'time 'margin 'execution 'volume 'percent-change) boolean-operator : (or/c 'and 'or) comparator : (or/c 'less-than 'greater-than #f) value : (or/c rational? moment? #f) contract-id : (or/c integer? #f) exchange : (or/c string? #f)

Use condition within place-order-req% when you want your order to either take effect or be canceled only
when certain conditions are met.
'price conditions require: boolean-operator, comparator, value, contract-id, exchange, and trigger-method.
'time conditions require: boolean-operator, comparator, and value.
'margin conditions require: boolean-operator, comparator, and value.
'execution conditions require: boolean-operator, exchange, security-type, and symbol.
'volume conditions require: boolean-operator, comparator, value, contract-id, and exchange.
'percent-change conditions require: boolean-operator, comparator, value, contract-id, and exchange.
Where fields are not required for a given condition type, they are not sent to the server and are effectively ignored.
