Design and deploy advanced trading strategies on Interactive Broker's platform using parallel programming/multithreading concepts. Gain an edge in your trading by learning to harness advanced IBAPI functionalities and modules such as scanner, advanced orders etc.
You can expect to gain the following skills from this course
Applying Parallel programming concepts in API trading
Advanced order types
Harnessing streaming data (price, position, p&l)
Implementing scanner using IBAPI
Backtesting strategies
End to end design and deployment of advanced strategies
This course aims to provide a much deeper understanding of IBAPI features to beginner and intermediate level users of IBAPI. I have created this course based on the feedback received on my introductory IBAPI course from students who wanted to delve deeper and deploy advanced algorithms on IBAPI platform. This course seeks to provide you with the required tools to deploy any kind of strategy on Interactive Brokers platform and gain an edge by leveraging IBAPI's advanced functionalities.
The course covers and implements Open Range Breakout strategy which is quite complex to implement as it requires a number of tasks to be performed simultaneously (e.g. streaming current price of tickers, streaming PnL of tickers, extracting historical data periodically, performing calculations, generating signals and order management). The course explains how such strategies can be built step by step and how the various IBAPI tools can be used efficiently to ensure that the various parts of the strategy work harmoniously.
