Important note – Course prerequisites:
Please note that this course requires basic python proficiency. At the minimum, you should be comfortable with:
-
basic python data types and format
-
basic python data structures such as list, dictionary, tuple etc.
-
how to create python functions
-
how to implement loops in python
-
installing and importing libraries
Basic python proficiency is mandatory because Interactive Broker API’s python client uses advanced OOP and asynchronous programming concepts. While, I have devoted an entire section explaining these concepts, students with no python knowledge will really struggle to follow along.

I purchased this course and first started through the material a year ago. My plan was to learn python and write some code utilizing IB API that would emulate my trading. How hard could that be? hehe My first time exposed to this material made me realize I had no clue what was going on with the eclient/wrapper architecture, and many other things…
So here I am a year later (with lots of classes and coding in between) and I’m almost done with my trading app. This class inspired me to really dig in and see the source code. I really loved that about the instructor’s approach, he digs into the documentation and shows you the answer. So this second time through the information really made me feel comfortable that I may actually understand the eclient/wrapper way.
There is very little information about this specific topic (IB API, python, alg trading) in general outside of the docs. This course/instructor provided a path with tons of detail and great code example.

The course is excellent. It is very well structured and explains with elaborate examples the entire API for accessing Interactive Brokers data. This course is a gift. Thank you very much and congratulations to the teacher. I would rate the course with a mark of more than 10 out of 10.

Well pitched for someone with some background in python but not extensive experience. Incidentally also a good overview of some simple technical indicators in share trading.

Excellent practical guide with enough depth to get dangerous to your IB account :-))). Definitely a good starting point for some one knowing a bit of Python and looking to learn IB API inerface.
