What does 0 (internal server error) mean on the Interactive Brokers API?
Listed by the vendor as "Internal server error". The words in quotes are from Interactive Brokers' own list. The vendor calls it a generic error, typically caused by an action that is not available in your environment, such as trying something in a paper trading account that only a live account offers.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
