How to set up Interactive Brokers TWS API in C++ on Windows 64 bit
This video shows how I set up a development environment to interact with the Interactive Brokers TWS API in C++ on Windows. In this video I set up the environment on a system that previously had nothing installed. This is to ensure that if someone follows the video step by step, they can also successfully build the library and start to build their own C++ trading applications using this method. The library I used and made reference to is a public library on GitHub by JanBoonen. The library is not being actively maintained however it is stable and the library is extremely lightweight. Be sure to consult the IBKR documentation to study each of the EClient and EWrapper methods as well as the documentation for the library to learn about how it makes programming the API simpler.
