I downloaded my IBridePy less than 10 days ago.
Has anyone else had the same issue? How did you fix it?
Hi Guyvanie,
It seems that a new version of IBridgePy had been launched in the span of the past 10 days.
Since IBridgePy is a third-party API, we recommend our learners make use of the community version of IBridgePy as it can be downloaded and utilised for free.
However, one drawback of using the same is that you may have to keep updating IBridgePy to the latest version, every time a new update is rolled out.
As long as you are still on the journey of exploring and learning more about algo-trading, this might be a rather small inconvenience you may have to put up with.
Currently, the only other alternative is to upgrade to IBridgePy Premium, wherein regular monthly updates are waived. You can check out more details by visiting here.
Now to resolve the error that you are facing, can you please try downloading the latest IBridgePy version (which is V 16.9.1) and running the code once again?
Do let me know if this works out for you!
