Interactive Brokers Questions / Requests

[kcsystemtrader]

I think these two items are currently unsupported, but wanted to verify first:

1) Having NT use the Unbundled pricing structure for calculating commission costs (instead of $0.005/share and a minimum).

2) Pulling account info (namely Buying Power) directly into a strategy. It shows up on the accounts tab so not sure why it wouldn't be available to pull this data into your strategy.

So - if both are not supported, will either of these be supported in NT7? Any update on release of NT7? If not, how much notice will we have that NT is being released, or will we just wake up one morning with an announcement that the Beta is available for download?

Thanks,

kc

Hi kc,

1) This is not supported nor will it be in NT7

2) NT7 will have additional strategy methods to return account based values.

We are trying to get our 1st round of beta out the door by end of the month. We will announce more information once availalbe.
