I built my own platform too after discovering that most public platforms dont’t support Options, are slow on backtests or have bugs.
Thank you for the api list! In general the IB api is great to work with but it has some smaller annoying bugs. For example the market data api suddenly stops sending updates for the VIX and requires a re-subscribe.
