IB Dividends

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

This tick type provides four different comma-separated elements:

  • The sum of dividends for the past 12 months (0.83 in the example below).
  • The sum of dividends for the next 12 months (0.92 from the example below).
  • The next dividend date (20130219 in the example below).
  • The next single dividend amount (0.23 from the example below).

**Example:**0.83,0.92,20130219,0.23

To receive dividend information it is sometimes necessary to direct-route rather than smart-route market data requests.
