Interactive Brokers Canada Inc. (IBC) will no longer allow you to use your own trading application to electronically submit order for equities traded on a Canadian exchange or other marketplace through our proprietary application interface or API.
This decision has been made further to multiple and extensive communications between IBC compliance and personnel and senior management of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), our self-regulatory organization. IIROC has implemented IIROC Dealer Member Rule (DMR) 3200 A. 1. (b) (i) which prohibits IIROC registrants, including IBC, from allowing its clients to use their own automated order systems to generated orders.
Should you have any questions, please contact our help desk @ 1-877-745-4222.
