ib tws shut downs

hi. anyone have a problem with the IB tws standalone just shutting down? i can logback in right away,but it just closes with no warning.it doesnt do it all the time just random it seems. any ideas? thanx alot

 

MY TWS shut down for keeps so I closed my account. Now I am so hard up, I'm thinking about opening up another one with them.

 

Trying uninstalling and reinstalling java.

Also upgrade/downgrade your tws version. This usually fixes most tws quirks.

 

You should always look in the file "log.XXX.txt" in your /jts folder where XXX is 3 character day of week. If your tws just shuts down because of a java crash, a full stack trace should be written to the file. You will probably need the info in the log file to diagnose the crash.

 

ok,thanx.so its probably a java thing?i upgraded to the newest ver. of the tws but it was doing this shut down thing before also.
can a firewall cause this? thanx

 

Is it the auto-logoff?
On your TWS. Configure > Misc > Auto Logoff time

 

hi steve. nope. i checked that already. when it shuts down,it looks like it disconnects,you know when the screen chanes to graphlines covering the quote screen,then it closes. i'm going to reinstall everything and see.
