Interactive Brokers "Broker" function issue
-
Hi there!
I am trying to connect to IB TWS and retrieve positions and balances.
However, the IB script just returns "0.0" for both Value and Cash, which is incorrect. My script:
import backtrader as bt cerebro = bt.Cerebro() ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(port=7496, clientId=123,timeout=180,reconnect=3) cerebro.broker = ibstore.getbroker() # or cerebro.setbroker(...) print(cerebro.broker.getvalue()) print(cerebro.broker.getcash())
What am I missing? How can I fix this to display the correct values and cash positions, instead of "0.0"?
Thank you!

cerebro
is not running, which means there is no communication with the broker. Anything other than0.0
would be a surprise.
