[R-SIG-Finance] IBrokers

The problem is:

> IB is in demo mode, but works well (quotes are showing).
> I followed instructions (as of local.host trusted & API enables Activex)

IB's demo mode is a playback of previous data (from what I recall).
It may even be simulated data.  Historical data (and quite a bit of
the API) is only available from a funded account, though one can use
the paper trading account once that is activated.  IBrokers == Paper
Trading, unless you are insane.

You can try reqMktData to see if that works (it *should* for most
basic data, again IB caveats apply), but you can't get historical
data.
