IBrokers Problem
I don't know; it works for me. Does reqCurrentTime(tws) return the current time? Garrett
tws <- ibgConnect() reqCurrentTime(tws)
[1] "2013-12-09 09:04:37 CST"
reqContractDetails(tws, twsEquity("QQQ"))

Thanks for the quick reply, but R still hangs after running this command with the new ticker. Best, Michael On 12/09/2013 09:29 PM, G See wrote:
The ticker for that ETF changed to QQQ on March 23, 2011
Try reqContractDetails(tws, twsEquity("QQQ"))
Best,

All,
I'm trying to better understand how to use the IBrokers package by going
through the `IBrokers.pdf` vignette. I'm using the demo version of TWS
(login `edemo`). TWS seems to be running fine. However, I get stuck at
the following command from the vignette:
reqContractDetails(tws, twsEquity("QQQQ"))
R just seems to hang and I don't get any further response. My
sessionInfo is below. I'm using the most current IBrokers from Google Code.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this not supposed to work with the TWS
demo version?
Thanks,
Michael
