Does anybody know wether there's is a way to connect to the IB data without starting the Trader Work Station or not. Isn't there a trick available?

Another question, what is the cheapest provider of e-mini S&P500 real time data? I tried opentick, but there haven't been any activity for a while.

 

Thanks.

There will for sure be no way to directly connect to IB without TWS because that would mean that their security is broken.

You need password and token to enter their system. After this the data is SSL-encoded.

 

Please specify what it is exactly that you want to do, perhaps I could tell you more about bypassing TWS.

 

If it is the idea of receiving IB data without having an account with them - impossible.
