This was a great tutorial! Was super simple to understand. Was able to get up and running in a few mins.

I am interested on using the websockets in asynchronous mode, I mean to continue the program while waiting for information, is that possible? i guess i cant use ws.run_forever in this case, since this command takes full control of the cpu right?

Can we have more than one python programs connected to the same websocket endpoint simultaneously for fetching streaming data for two different securities simultaneously.

[easy-draw]

can we use node js and do we need specific modules from IB to run those.?

How to fetch level 2 market data from the websockets, NSE L2 has been subscribed, what endpoints should be given ?

there is no auth in this session video 💩💩, just magically works.. However the current version is so broken and just disconnects instantly.

Thanks for not including a working code example anywhere!
