I wonder if it is possible to get the regular trading hours for a symbol using IB API. It is possible to get data with this function but how is it possible to also return the regular trading hours for this symbol ? Tws1.reqHistoricalData(1, "MSFT", "STK", "", 0, "", "", "SMART", "usd", 0, ""...

As I understand there is no request for Regular Trading Hours for a symbol. Perheps it will come, it would be optimal to have as it would be more easy to follow their request limits.

Thank you for your answers, it helps out alot. I will also when it is possible to try it out with a real account. I might wonder for a solution of how it would be possible to detect for a symbol to not request more than 2 Days of 1-minutdata. For example MSFT has this tradingsession: MSFT...
