CFD Historical Data Problem

[skalaydzhiyski]

Hi guys, I am pretty new to using ib_insync, but I find it a lot better than using the official IB API so here goes my problem.

I am trying to retrieve historical data for a CFD contract (or get current market price) , but for some reason nothing happens. When requesting historical data it either times out or it returns that the contract was not found. Please see examples below.

Historical Data example:

def get_historical_bars(contract, end_date, duration, interval):
    res = client.reqHistoricalData(
        contract,
        endDateTime=make_date(end_date),
        durationStr=duration,
        barSizeSetting=interval,
        whatToShow='TRADES',
        useRTH=True,
    )
    res = util.df(res)
    res["date"] = pd.to_datetime(res["date"])
    res = res.set_index("date")
    return res

contract = Contract(secType='CFD', symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART')
client.qualifyContracts(contract)
print(contract)

res = get_historical_bars(contract, end_date='2023-02-05', duration='1 Y', interval='1 day')
print(res)

output ->

reqHistoricalData: Timeout for Contract(secType='CFD', conId=120549668, symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART', currency='USD', localSymbol='NVDAn', tradingClass='NVDA')
Error 366, reqId 45: No historical data query found for ticker id:45, contract: Contract(secType='CFD', conId=120549668, symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART', currency='USD', localSymbol='NVDAn', tradingClass='NVDA')
reqHistoricalData: Timeout for Contract(secType='CFD', conId=120549668, symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART', currency='USD', localSymbol='NVDAn', tradingClass='NVDA')

Error 366, reqId 47: No historical data query found for ticker id:47, contract: Contract(secType='CFD', conId=120549668, symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART', currency='USD', localSymbol='NVDAn', tradingClass='NVDA')

MktData example:

contract = Contract(secType='CFD', symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART')
client.qualifyContracts(contract)
ticker = client.reqMktData(contract)
print(ticker)
print(ticker.marketPrice())

output ->

Ticker(contract=Contract(secType='CFD', conId=120549668, symbol='NVDA', exchange='SMART', currency='USD', localSymbol='NVDAn', tradingClass='NVDA'))

I have tried NOT qualifying the contract, using MIDPOINT, using different dates, removing some of othe arguments in Contract, but to no effect.

Any help here is welcome! I just need to see an example of how to retrieve data for the contract, I couldn't find anything useful online.
