Hi!

I wanted to try this library but when I try the sample code I just receive this error:

{'error': 'Trading TWS session is connected from a different IP address'}

Any idea about if this is a bug or theres something wrong?

As I mainly trade futures I am wondering how to get futures data and place orders? Doing the following:

bars = ib.get_bars("NG", period="1w", bar="1d")
print(bars)

Results in the following error:

{'error': "No data of type EODChart is available for the exchange 'VALUE' and the security type 'Stock' and '1 W' and '1 day'"}

Using ibapi the sequence would go something like this:

contract = Contract()
contract.symbol = 'NG'
contract.exchange = 'NYMEX'
# contract.secType = 'CONTFUT'
contract.secType = 'FUT'
contract.lastTradeDateOrContractMonth  = '202109'

app.reqHistoricalData(1, contract, '20210815 17:59:00', '10 D', '15 mins', 'BID', 0, 2, False, [])

How would this be done using EasyIB?

get_conid by default returns the first contract of the first instrument it finds. This causes problems if multiple markets have instruments using this symbol, as a contract different from what was expected might be returned. I found this when looking up the $MUB US equity, which is not the first $MUB instrument returned by IB, so I didn't receive the contract ID I wanted.

Two parameters, instrument_filters and contract_filters, are added to get_conid. instrument_filters filters the instrument data, i.e. the name, chineseName, and assetClass fields. contract_filters filters the contract data, i.e the exchange and isUS fields. All filters must be fulfilled for the instrument/contract to be included. The filters can be used together.

I've added some samples of searching for US $MUB using the filters.

This is very nice work! I tried most of the functions and they work well, however, when I run the get_bars() example I get the following error:

Hi, I keep getting the error below when I try to get my portfolio. This is a new paper account with no portfolio in place yet, so I'd expect it to return an empty portfolio instead of an error? I've tried restarting ibeam and my server but the error persists. Other service calls work. Any ideas much appreciated! Thanks

how would one use ibeam to get a continuous stream of market data (or is it not currently possible)? It is easy to do with the native api but it requires the gateway UI to be open, which is quite inconvenient.
