I was connected to 2 accounts with a robot. I have been disconnected by both. And currently propting again for security code ... Just wondering. In addition to what is being done on the server side (which clearly doesnt work), is really so hard to do a 30 sec edit to place a flag on the client (gateway/tws) to simply skip the rechallenge and let it relogin with the stored credential (or recreate token or whatever) ? The challenge must not be made more than ONCE, after the program is started by the user. Or is there an allergy to the simple solutions ? <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3568018" />
Again ? and now i am out in vacation controlling my pc from remote and did not bring the device to reconnect to my 2 PCs. Damn. They really dont want our commissions ... <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3578299" />
It's comforting to see such professionality. These must be as the Latex bugs, which after professor Knuth death shall be raised to the state of "features" ".. at which point all remaining bugs will become features" <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3589578" />

Damn! Sorry to hear that. As far as I am concerned, I am still opted out. For the little capital I have, I am better off running the risk of losing money than losing data.
Actually as a developer, and one who has invested a great deal in IB (with large users all around the world), the fact that a bug that could be solved in 30 seconds is not being solved, is pretty worrying. How has this to be interpreted ?
Big companies stop working. Maybe they got too big. My usual example with Microsoft: their operating system and office software got better all the way to 2003, then everything started to get worse. Their changes started to make some things better but a lot more things worse. Or look at the US government: it started out as the best democracy in the world, and in the last few decades, it's been increasingly turning against the world and against its own citizens, too. This might be happening with IB as well: economies of scale gone wrong. They did great, got big, developed a huge structure, and now the structure has to do something, such as... even creating problems so it can solve them. It's like the false-flag attacks of 911: the developers are now creating "false-flag" bugs so they will be given the task of solving them. If everything is perfect, they'll be fired, so maybe they don't want everything to be perfect. Just speculating, but there might be some truth in what I said.
