How can I get started with interactive brokers API?
I googled for IB api, downloaded and ran the installer.
Now what? I have no clue, where it got installed. Looked at documentation files, there is no help to do a "Hello world" kind of program in C# or C++.
Found some help page in http://www.interactivebrokers.com/php/apiUsersGuide/apiguide.htm for C++. It tells that I should link to TwsSocketClient.dll.
Then looked at C:\IB_API_9_64\TestActiveXClient_VC in my PC thinking that it must have some demo C++ project, there is no .dsp or prject file. I am lost. Please help!!

you will need 10000$ to run your hello world program. this is the minimum deposit amount they ask

All my trading predictions are wrong. Now I want to bet against my predictions, because I am confident that I am a born loser. I am sure I will win this bet.
