Trader Toolbox realtime function is apparently undefined even when I have the file path identified.

I receive the error, "Undefined function 'realtime' for input arguments of type 'ibtws'." when I run the realtime function. I have an established connection to IBTWS and market data subscription. Below is my code:

 % 
 %connects to ib

 %ib = ibtws('',7496)

 %define your stock

 %ibContract = ib.Handle.createContract;

 ibContract.symbol = 'RAD';

 ibContract.secType = 'STK';

 ibContract.exchange = 'SMART';

 ibContract.currency = 'USD';

 %retrieve live data

 f = '233';

 tickerid = realtime(ib, ibContract, f)

 end

What do you see for

which ibtws
ver('trading')

?

Which ABI version are you using? I just installed 971.06 (not the latest), and in R2015a I got to

No method 'reqMktDataEx' with matching signature found for class 'COM.TWS_TwsCtrl_1'.

Error in ibtws/realtime (line 62)
    c.Handle.reqMktDataEx(tickerID(i),s{i},fldList,0)

I do not happen to have R2014b installed on my Windows virtual machine; I could install it if necessary.

The realtime() function of Trading Toolbox for IB TWS was only introduced in R2015a. If you upgrade your Matlab license you should be able to use it, but not in your current R2014b.

If you need this functionality in R2014b (or any other Matlab release between R2007a and today), then try using my IB-Matlab toolbox instead: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/ib-matlab

I will try this and get back with whether or not this solved the issue.

I have a friend who tried the same code on his R2016a version and everything worked well. Thanks for your time, everyone.
