Financial Market Data Collection

This project entails gathering price data for indices, futures contracts, and securities. Quotes for the various instruments are provided by Interactive Brokers. The collected data should be saved to ASCII files or some other space-efficient format. The coder must learn by himself/herself how to download the data from Interactive Brokers’ trading platform--I cannot be of help on this matter. This is the hardest part of the project; the actual program(s) should be simple. Information on the trading platform is available at: [login to view URL] --> systems --> demo --> user's guide You should be able to find the necessary information for downloading price data at: [login to view URL] --> systems --> API/FIX --> Application Program Interface (API) Please only bid on this project if you are certain you can complete what is required. I am hoping this project will lead to a long-term relationship with the coder. There are many more projects that will build on this one. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. I want to be able to capture all market information relating to an instrument every time there is a transaction or a change in bid or offer. The program(s) must recognize when such events occur and save all data into files. I will be available to explain the terminologies and workings for someone who is not familiar with the financial markets. ## Platform Windows
