Title: Problem with the platform
Post by: Flavio di Gioia on January 16, 2023, 01:58:04 pm

 Hello,

I really like how this platform works, but I am having a problem. When I connect to the Interactive Brokers platform (Trader Workstation-  stable Build 10.191i Dec13) with PTL Trader, it appears the following thing “IB Notice:id:1000023 code:2176: Your API version does not support fractional share size rules. Please upgrade to a minimum version 163. Trimmed value 9852.87 to 9852.”

I use the TWS API Stable for Windows version: API 10.19 Nv 16 2022 and the Java: jre-8U351-WINDOWS -64. I am also subscribed to Fractional Share Trading.

Please, I would like a solution for this drawback because the program is currently not working.

Thank you

Hello! Unfortunately, PTL Trader does not support fractional shares trading. At least not at the moment. Sorry.

You need to use IB Gateway 10.17 instead of 10.19.

The latest 10.19 has a bug.

We are preparing a release to address this problem. This won't bring support for the fractional shares though, it will just fix the historical data download under IB Gateway 10.19.
