commissions report

My commissions report has been crashing... for a while. On gateway 1030 and 1033, latest IBC, latest develop.

I modified the IB what_if call to pass broker account and now it runs.

I also tweaked the code for handling LME contracts to only pass 6 instead of 8.

2025-06-18 12:45:48 DEBUG Interactive-Diagnostics {'component': 'ibExecutionStackData', 'strategy_name': 'testCommmission', 'instrument_code': 'COPPER_LME', 'contract_order_id': '', 'broker_order_id': ''} Going to submit order (Order ID:no order ID) Type market for testCommmission/COPPER_LME/20250900, qty [1], fill [0]@ price, None Parent:no parent Children:no_children to IB
DEBUG - Raw malformed date: '20250917 16:50:00 GB' for contract COPPER_LME/20250900
DEBUG - Cleaned date: '202509'

I also had to drop test contracts to 1 for dealing with insufficient margin rejections. My only hang up now is a bunch of trading restrictions preventing a data pull.

I'm wondering if gateway updated to require account for pulling the test what_if trade data.

Am I the only one having this issue though? I'm kind of confused why my setup was encountering the errors, but hadn't seen anyone else mention it.

I saw the commissions report thing. I only saw it with IB credentials where there was more than one account associated with the login, eg Margin and ISA

The date format thing was discussed and resolved here

Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you.

That simple gateway configuration fixes it, now I just receive trading permissions failures instead, haha.

Yes that makes sense as well - I have two accounts associated.

I think we could modify this to cope, but the config change is a lot cleaner.
