| by_con_id | Or their con_id (EUR.uSD sample). Note: passing a contract containing the con_id can cause problems if one of the other provided attributes does not match 100% with what is in IB's database. This is particularly important for contracts such as Bonds which may change their description from one day to another. If the con_id is provided, it is best not to give too much information as in the example below. |
| by_isin | It is also possible to deine contracts based on their ISIN (IBKR STK sample). |

| option_for_query | Ambiguous contracts are great to use with Contract::req_contract_details. This way you can query the whole option chain for an underlying. Bear in mind that there are pacing mechanisms in place which will delay any further responses from the TWS to prevent abuse. |
| option_with_local_symbol | Using the contract's own symbol (local_symbol) can greatly simplify a contract description. Watch out for the spaces within the local symbol! |
| option_with_trading_class | Option contracts require far more information since there are many contracts having the exact same attributes such as symbol, currency, strike, etc. This can be overcome by adding more details such as the |
