Dear Mr @def IB's TWS allows the connection of external Charting application and Order/Position management applications to IB TWS by API. I have questions below about this and may please kindly answer under the relevant lines, please? - Assuming all I need from Data-feeds in just Spot Forex major pairs Data-feeds only. - Assuming all I need from Order/Position management in just Spot Forex major pairs Order/Position management only. - Assuming I use IB's TWS neither for data-feeds for charting and nor for order/position management. - Assuming I have one full license of ultimate editions of each of three external charting and algorithmic trading applications of Multicharts+ASP v14 x64, MotiveWave-Ultimate x64, and Ninjatrader-8 full x64. @MotiveWave @MultiCharts @NinjaTrader_Comm @NinjaTrader_Ray 1- Per one Live and per one Demo account, with IB, how many instances of IB TWS I can run at the same time if there is a possibility to connect simultaneously at the same time to one single account(Live/Demo) from the different instance and executions of the IB TWS, whether from a single machine or from a different machine on the same internet connection? e.g. Can I run two or three instances of the IB TWS by logging into my Live account with IB TWS from a single machine or two or three machines that are running on the same internet? e.g. Can I run two or three instances of the IB TWS by logging into my Demo account with IB TWS from a single machine or two or three machines that are running on the same internet? 2- How many charting applications can I connect to IB TWS to access Spot Forex data feeds from IB TWS simoultenously? e.g. Assuming I have Multicharts, MotiveWave-Ultimate, and Ninjatrader-8(I have full licenses of all three software mentioned), can I connect all these three at the same time to single IB TWS by API to receive Data-Feeds for a single Spot Forex instrument? To make it clear, e.g. Can I connect Multicharts, MotiveWave-Ultimate, and Ninjatrader-8 to the single instance of IB TWs to receive EUR/USD data feeds live and simultaneously? 3- How many algorithmic order/position management applications can I connect to IB TWS to access IB TWS API simultaneously to manage order/positions at the same time? e.g. Assuming I have Multicharts, MotiveWave-Ultimate, and Ninjatrader-8(I have full licenses of all three software mentioned), can I connect all these three at the same time to single IB TWS by API to manage order/positions for a single Spot Forex instrument and place/manage orders and positions simultaneously? (assuming I trade in sophisticated calculations of margin that these applications trades altogether never causing me any Account-Maintenance-Margin issue at all)? e.g. Multicharts trades EUR/USD, MotiveWave-Ultimate trades EUR/USD, and Ninjatrader-8 trades EUR/USD while all three of these applications connected to a single instance of IB TWS by API and same port? e.g. Assuming I have Multicharts, MotiveWave-Ultimate, and Ninjatrader-8(I have full licenses of all three software mentioned), can I connect all these three at the same time to single IB TWS by API to manage order/positions for Different Spot Forex instrument and place/manage orders and positions simultaneously? (assuming I trade in sophisticated calculations of margin that these applications trades altogether never causing me any Account-Maintenance-Margin issue at all)? e.g. Multicharts trades EUR/USD, MotiveWave-Ultimate trades GBP/USD, and Ninjatrader-8 trades AUD/USD while all three of these applications connected to a single instance of IB TWS by API and same port? - If a question or example is not clear if you kindly ask me to clarify my point precisely before answering more relevant to my question appreciated, please? Thanks in advance if you may kindly answer under each relevant line, please? Best regards
Seriously, what is wrong with you? You keep on creating new threads ask TONS OF QUESTIONS, some users inconvenience themselves and address your questions and you can't even thank them nor reply, nothing. Guess how motivated others are to help you the next time... By the way, all your questions are addressed IN DETAIL in the IB documentation. Are you English language challenged? And don't ask me where you can find that information. Do some minimum amount of work.
Who would even have time to answer all those questions that aren’t even relevant to majority of people who actually do need help with basic features of TWS, not with Multicharts, MotiveWave-Ultimate, and Ninjatrader-8.
I believe you can have 6 connections to TWS/Gateway at one time. For sure you can split these 6 between live and paper trading accounts. I don't know if you can have 6 for each of live and paper trading. You can connect to an instance of TWS/Gateway from a different machine on your intranet. If you can connect you can request data and manage orders. There is nothing on IBs side to prevent you from connecting your three platforms at the same time. Your platform needs to be configurable. The IB API requires you to give a number from 1 - 6 to differentiate your platform from each other. All of the platforms connect via the same, configurable, port #. Please correct me if I am wrong.
