To use the features described, include the ib-extensions Gem in the Gemfile and use
require 'ib-api' require 'ib/gateway'in your scripts.
The current status of the Account is available through the :RequestAccountSummary-Message.
The TWS responds with :AccountSummary-Messages.
> ib = IB::Connection.current
> ags = %w( NetLiquidation InitMarginReq DayTradesRemaining )
=> ["NetLiquidation", "InitMarginReq", "DayTradesRemaining"]
> ib.subscribe(:Alert, :AccountSummary){ |msg| puts msg.to_human } => 135899964
> request_id = C.send_message :RequestAccountSummary, tags: ags.join(',') => 5775

If the IB::Gateway is used, the method :get_account_data requests the data from the TWS and
assigns :AccountValues and :PortfolioValues to the IB::Account.
