Already had a GH ish reported,

https://github.com/pikers/piker/issues/539

i was only putting it off out of laziness and/or non-necessity BP

BUT we actually have a reason now to switch!

“Fixes” we need

the IB.qualifyContractsAsync() method now offers a returnAll: bool which solves an issue i’ve seen with various so called “ambiguous” contract queries,

https://github.com/ib-api-reloaded/ib_async/blob/main/ib_async/ib.py#L2115

For ex., currently we can’t load silver futes contracts due to the old ib_insync only warning on such cases..


Jan 26 11:21:49 (brokerd.ib[6272cb], 284364, no task context))
[WARNING] piker.ib_insync ib.py:1806 Ambiguous contract:
Future(symbol='si', lastTradeDateOrContractMonth='20261229',
exchange='COMEX'), possibles are [Contract(secType='FUT',
conId=535526329, symbol='SI',
lastTradeDateOrContractMonth='20261229', multiplier='5000',
exchange='COMEX', currency='USD', localSymbol='SIZ6',
tradingClass='SI'), Contract(secType='FUT', conId=842178357,
symbol='SI', lastTradeDateOrContractMonth='20261229',
multiplier='1000', exchange='COMEX', currency='USD',
localSymbol='SILZ6', tradingClass='SIL')]

^ which occurs just before a crash originating in our piker.brokers.ib.api.Client.get_sym_details() which fails to find a single matching contract based on the fqme requested from the the chart’s mkt search..
