Interactive Brokers

* Searching for symbols by name or root
* Auto-adding the symbol and required attributes to the database
* Automatic confirmation when querying for data. No need to click ok "OK" in the "Accept incoming connection" dialog
* Automatic reconnection in case connection is lost
All the listed limitations arise on the Interactive Brokers' side so they may not always be overcome:
* Interactive Brokers provides 24 hours of historical data only. See the [[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /107_Data_Import.html name=""; Importing_Data| Importing Data]] section for info on gap filling
* Interactive Brokers does not provide the day's Open price
* Interactive Brokers does not provide timestamps for quotes. Because of this limitation the program has to assign the system time to every quote. Such a workaround may bias the true timestamp of the quote by the time difference between its sending and receiving; in most cases the delay is fractions of a second
* Interactive Brokers does not support receiving data for over 80 symbols per one account
