Practice with simulated fills first, or connect a funded account and trade with real money.
Create an access token and secret on IBKR's self-service portal — a separate credential from your regular TWS login.

IBKR only allows one API session per username, so it's worth creating a second username just for ezpztrader instead of reusing the one logged into TWS. Expect a daily maintenance window around 23:45–00:45 ET, orders processed one at a time rather than in parallel, and no API access at all on LITE accounts.
