This project is a wrapper around the Interactive Brokers C# client API. It aims to make TWS APIs easier to use by making the multithreaded design look single-threaded to the user. It's in dotnet core, so use it in Linux or Windows.
Running integration tests will place real orders in TWS. Only run integration tests against a paper trading account.
Use the TwsController object to call into Tws methods.
TwsObjectFactory twsObjectFactory = new TwsObjectFactory("localhost", 7462, 1);
TwsController twsController = twsObjectFactory.TwsController;
await twsController.EnsureConnectedAsync();Place an order
Contract contract = new Contract
{
SecType = TwsContractSecType.Stock,
Symbol = "MSFT",
Exchange = TwsExchange.Smart,
PrimaryExch = TwsExchange.Island,
};
Order order = new Order
{
Action = "BUY",
OrderType = "MKT",
TotalQuantity = 1
};
int orderId = await twsController.GetNextValidIdAsync();
bool successfullyPlaced = await twsController.PlaceOrderAsync(orderId, contract, order);Get a list of the current positions
List<PositionStatusEventArgs> positionStatusEvents = await twsController.RequestPositions();Get various account information
string accountId = "DU1052488";
ConcurrentDictionary<string, string> accountUpdates = await twsController.GetAccountDetailsAsync(accountId);Get historical data
Contract contract = new Contract
{
SecType = TwsContractSecType.Stock,
Symbol = "MSFT",
Exchange = TwsExchange.Smart,
PrimaryExch = TwsExchange.Island,
};
string queryTime = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-6).ToString("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss");
// Call
List<HistoricalDataEventArgs> historicalDataEvents = await twsController.GetHistoricalDataAsync(contract, queryTime, "1 M", "1 day", "MIDPOINT");Cancel an order
bool cancelationAcknowledged = await twsController.CancelOrderAsync(orderId);Place a bracket order (Entry + Stop loss + Take profit), where the entry order is pegged to the market.
bool orderAck = await twsController.PlaceBracketOrder(contract, entryAction, quantity, takePrice, stopPrice);Check out the tests in TwsControllerBaseTests.cs and TwsControllerTests.cs for more examples. A full list of implemented APIs can be found in the TwsController.
