Algorithmic Trading with Go
Yeah, I ended up taking https://github.com/gofinance/ib and wrote my own wrapper. This took a long time but has been stable since. I'm basically only doing buy lmt, sell lmt, cancel, and updates orders though. So, the logic is pretty simple. Catching all the return messages and structuring them correctly took tons of debugging, trail, and error. Basically, mapping the messages into the correct orders.

Trouble understanding rounding when the next digit is after round precision is a #5?
Try it in JS with console.log(4.225 * 100);, you'll see the same unexpected result. Depending on your needs, it's actually fine to just be off by some amount. If it does really matter, then use an arbitrary precision library like https://github.com/shopspring/decimal to get the results you need.

Handling currency values: facts and best practices
Most programming languages ( JavaScript, PHP, Go, Python, Java, C# ) have built-in support or 3rd-party libraries for handling this data type, even though the internal implementations can differ:

Any go and python number experts here?
while working with money, dont use floats, use something like https://github.com/shopspring/decimal (go std lib doesnt have its own decimals yet)

80x improvements in caching by moving from JSON to gob
I make heavy use of caching, and was caching both in-memory and in Redis using JSON to convert the data in to a string. The struct itself isn't super complicated, one level nested, and some fields use the shopspring/decimal library.
