Interactive brokers demo trade test - 09/22/22 16:42

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to my paper money IB account - and here is a message I'm getting when starting TradeTest script.

Code
Login 0 IB (demo)..
!Open IB Socket 2.08
!Account  DU6079999 at UTC 09-22 16:37
!Requested market data is not subscribed. Delayed market data is not enabled. AAPL-STK--0.00--SMART/ISLAND--USD
Error 053: AAPL-STK-SMART-USD unavailable at this time
Error 047: No bars generated
Logout.. ok


I'm not sure what's wrong - I see AAPL ticking in my TWS.

Maybe it is Delayed market data is not enabled since it's Demo - but how to fix it?

Can anyone please help?

Read the section, "Subscribe market data". You have to pay for data feeds. And yes, your TWS chart is showing delayed data.

Thanks Andrew,

does this in fact mean Zorro IB Demo connection is useless? Without paying 15$ a month to IB for the data?

For stocks, yes. But some data feeds are free, such as forex.
