IB TWS Trading Platform in Python 8 outsideRTH

In this tutorial you will add a check box to your gui form window that will allow you to trade after hours and pre-market.

Add this variable to hold the variable for the checkbox just above the create widgets function.

self.my_outsideRTH = False 

Add this to the end of the create_widgets(self): function

        # create a check button box for outside RTH
        self.chkOutsideRTH = Checkbutton(f1, font=('', 10),
                                         text='OutsideRTH', variable=varOutsideRTH)
        self.chkOutsideRTH.grid(row=9, column=6)

  Add highlighted text to the buy(self): function and the sell(self): function

  def buy(self):
        self.symbol = varSymbol.get()
        self.quantity = varQuantity.get()
        self.order_type = varOrderType.get()
        self.limit_price = varLimitPrice.get()
        self.my_outside = varOutsideRTH.get() # add here
        the_outsideRTH = 0
        if self.my_outside == True:
            the_outsideRTH = 1
        self.place_market_order(self.symbol, self.quantity, self.order_type,
                                True, self.limit_price, the_outsideRTH) # add here

    def sell(self):
        self.symbol = varSymbol.get()
        self.quantity = varQuantity.get()
        self.order_type = varOrderType.get()
        self.limit_price = varLimitPrice.get()
        self.my_outside = varOutsideRTH.get() # add here
        the_outsideRTH = 0
        if self.my_outside == True:
            the_outsideRTH = 1
        self.place_market_order(self.symbol, self.quantity, self.order_type,
                                False, self.limit_price, the_outsideRTH) # add here

Add the variable my_outsideRTH to the highlighted areas in the place_market_order() function as shown below.

    def place_market_order(self, symbol, quantity, order_type, is_buy, limit_price, my_outsideRTH): # add here
        print (symbol, quantity, order_type, is_buy, limit_price)
        contract = self.create_contract(symbol,
                                        'STK',
                                        'SMART',
                                        'NASDAQ',
                                        'USD')
 # tests if is buy or sell
        buysell = 'BUY' if is_buy else 'SELL'
        order = self.create_order(order_type, quantity, buysell, limit_price, my_outsideRTH)# add here
        self.tws_conn.placeOrder(self.order_id, contract, order)
        # increses the order id by one
        self.order_id += 1

Add the variable outsideRTH to the highlighted areas in the create_order() function as shown below.

    def create_order(self, order_type, quantity, action, limit_price, outside_Rth):    # add  outside_Rth 
        order = Order()
        order.m_orderType = order_type
        order.m_totalQuantity = quantity
        order.m_action = action
        order.m_lmtPrice = limit_price  
        order.m_outsideRth = outside_Rth                  # add order.m_outsideRth = outside_Rth 
        return order

Add this to the bottom where all the variables are for your window form widgets.

varOutsideRTH = StringVar(root, value=False)
