We invite computational finance professors to supplement their classwork with the IBKR’s Student Trading Lab<\/a>. The program offers access to US and overseas financial products around the world from a single unified platform, in a safe paper-trading environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, users can explore IBKR’s Python and Excel APIs to develop risk analysis skills, trading apps and data science knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how professors can get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Create an educator’s account through the Student Trading Lab program. Click here<\/a> to start your application now. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Invite your students from our Client Portal<\/a>. Look for the “Invite” menu and paste the students’ email addresses. They will get an invitation email with a link to set up a simulated account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Create your own trading account from Client Portal<\/a>. Just send an invitation to yourself and set up your own sub-account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Download the Trader Workstation (TWS) software from here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Download the Trader Workstation (TWS) API software, which comes with a sample, from here<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Review the resources provided via the API Guide<\/a> and Production<\/a> and Beta<\/a> Release Notes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Check out our API tutorials<\/a>. Article such as “How To Place Orders Using the IBKR TWS Python API<\/a>” and “How to Request Market Data via the Python API<\/a>” feature video tutorials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Visit the Traders’ Academy API<\/a> page for courses on Python<\/a>, Excel<\/a>, and R<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, be sure to explore the Student Trading Lab for Educators<\/a> page for additional information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
