' time-zone entered is invalid' error

[regmeg]

Hi,

I am following this tutorial to simply try to print some live data from TWS

As result I get the following error

Error: {'reqId': 16777217, 'errorCode': 10314, 'errorString': 'End Date/Time: The date, time, or time-zone entered is invalid. The correct format is yyyymmdd hh:mm:ss xx/xxxx where yyyymmdd and xx/xxxx are optional. E.g.: 20031126 15:59:00 US/Eastern Note that there is a space between the date and time, and between the time and time-zone. If no date is specified, current date is assumed. If no time-zone is specified, local time-zone is assumed(deprecated). You can also provide yyyymmddd-hh:mm:ss time is in UTC. Note that there is a dash between the date and time in UTC notation.', 'advancedOrderRejectJson': ''}

Is there a way to overcome it? Look's like requests need a different time zone specification as discussed here

What would be the simplest way to solve this issue?

Thanks

So the fix is to fork atreyu-backtrader-api and change all 'GMT' into 'UTC' in ibstore.py

@regmeg I see that all 'GMT' are now commented out, however I still encounter this error.
@atreyuxtrading Any idea what could be the problem?

@yoeldk I have not touched the code for a year, but if you did not change 'GMT' into 'UTC', but instead just commented out the 'GMT', you are not doing the fix correctly. What worked for me was forking it and changing things manually as I had described.
