      Greetings,
      My stock broker provides me with real time as well as historical (1m, 3m, 1w, 1M etc) data of stocks and I was wondering how i could feed them to backtrader. The live data is sent via sockets and is of type OrderedDict.

      Also is this the InteractiveBrokers that is integrated with BackTrader ?

      I am from outside of the United States is there a way to switch IB with my own broker ?

        By reading the code and developing your own Store, Broker and Datafeed. It seems really surprising someone sends an OrderedDict over a socket and not something like JSON.

        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.
