The native Interactive Brokers TWS Python API uses type annotations which is not supported in Python
2.7.Maybe something to consider for backtrader 2

Indeed, TWS API is on python 3. What's the roadmap for backtrader 2 ?
Thanks for your answer...

maybe implementing the IB API via this high level wrapper could be an alternative: ib_insync. Been using it since a while and am very happy with it.

@steffen Is there a quantitative trading platform support the new python3 tws api? I'm looking for something could backtest and trade using Interactive Brokers, just like the BackTrader, but the ibpy is too old to use.
