[R-SIG-Finance] Questions about IBrokers package

[Johan Palleschitz]

Good afternoon Duke,

Happy to read your input below. I am by no means in a position answer your questions below, but i would be happy to help, test and see how we can expand the usability. 

I am currently stuck on finding a clever solution to pull greeks and simulate option holdings. 

Let me know if you need any inputs!

Wish everyone a nice day!
