I use old IBrokers R package in Linux and I don't advise it to a new starter. It \
doesn't work with newer API versions, some patches needed. It has limited \
functionalities.   Because your trading algorithm is in R doesn't mean you must have \
your trading program in R too.   there are plenty of tools to inter process \
communication methods ( sockets etc ) . TWS has other interfaces like Python, c++ \
etc.   you'd better check twsapi group in https://groups.io/g/twsapi  or \
https://groups.io/g/insync ( twsapi for Python  ) for much better help.

Subject: [R-SIG-Finance] Is IBroker suitable/robust for FX-Trading?

Dear all,

I would like to implement an automated order routing for a FX-Strategy on multiple \
currencies. There is a short and good documentation called "Real Time Market Data and \
Trade Execution with R" (See RealTime.pdf) by Jeffrey Ryan from April 5, 2009. As you \
see, the proposed solutions is quite old and I am wondering if this is still the \
right/best way to do so - old but gold? The problem is: I would like to run the \
strategy on Linux and Windows as well. So the IB API in .Net is not very suitable. \
Unfortunately I have no Java programming either to use the Java API. Of course it \
would be maybe best to use the IB Gateway and not the TWS connection.

 § Do you think it is better to use the old IBroker package in R or would you sugest \
learning Java?  § Is there an alternative solution w/o foreign broker software?

Thank you for your advice and help.

B.R.
Samuel
