Placing Orders using TWS Python API

In this lesson we discuss how orders can be placed, monitored, modified, and cancelled from the TWS API. To demonstrate the essential components necessary to place an order, a simple Python program is introduced which places an AAPL order to a paper account, and then prints order status messages to the console. Important topics associated with placing and monitoring orders from the API, including the master client ID, and the API maximum message rate are introduced.

Thanks for the video!

Hey great video!
How can I ensure that my code always runs, even when my PC is off or the internet connection is lost? For instance, when I run the code in PyCharm with Interactive Brokers Workstation open, the connection works fine. However, if the PC is turned off or there's no internet, the connection is disrupted. Is it possible to run my code in the cloud, or do you have any other good ideas on how I can keep my code running 24/7?

Hello, thank you for your question. There is no workaround for having the code be able to run while your PC is off or while you have no internet connection. Instead, you are able to run your code and either TWS/IB Gateway on a remote server. As long as the remote server stays on, you should be able to keep your code running “24/7”. However, you will run into the mandatory weekly log off where you have to manually log in once a week even if you have the “auto-logoff” setting turned on.
We have links for more information regarding the weekly log-off and auto-logoff settings:

We hope this information helps!

Hello,
another question, where can I find the "BaFin Futures for German Retail Investors" section? I have already searched everything in the Client Portal. I can't find the area where I can activate this anywhere. Where is the area. Please give me step by step instructions on how to access this area.
Best regards
