How do you successfully set up an ib_insync connection in Google Colab?
Have tried:
pip install ib_insync
which runs successfully. then:
from ib_insync import *
util.startLoop()
ib = IB()
ib = IB( ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 7497, clientId=1)
Which results in:
API connection failed: ConnectionRefusedError(111, "Connect call failed ('127.0.0.1', 7497)")
Make sure API port on TWS/IBG is open
I have seen other related questions indicating one needs to set up a local runtime (colab reference document), however, I have not been able to successfully run this code (specifically receive an invalid syntax error when I get to step to run jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyter_http_over_ws in colab. I normally access ib_insync via jupyter lab.
Thanks for considering
