Interactive brokers: How to retrieve transaction history records?


Basically, I want to use python to query my IB order history and do some analyze afterwards. But I could not find any existing API for me to query these data, does anyone have experience to do this?


Solution

  • TWS API doesn't have this functionality. You can't retreive order history, but you can get open orders using recOpenOrders request and capture executions in realtime by listening to execDetails event - just write them to a file and analyse aftewards.
