By reading the code and developing your own
Store
,Broker
andDatafeed
. It seems really surprising someone sends anOrderedDict
over a socket and not something likeJSON

We can't know with a such a description, but it probably isn't.

Interactive Brokers works regularly with introducing brokers in different countries. Most of them are a small office which do fully rely on the administration and technology from IB.
Even if you don't speak german, you should be able to recognize that the pictures belong to TWS and the mobile applications of IB.
