What does 2169 (firmquoteonly not supported) mean on the Interactive Brokers API?
Interactive Brokers lists TWS API warning message code 2169 with the text "Firm Quote Only Not Supported Warning" (the vendor's wording). The firmQuoteOnly order attribute is no longer supported. The vendor says this is received with TWS versions 983 and later.
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.
How do I fix 2169 (firmquoteonly not supported)?
Remove the firmQuoteOnly attribute from the order.
