Yes, that would be the best thing to do. No more need to click 'Ok' on TWS dialogs, either manually or through any other software monitors, more free memory and, maybe more important, a better general sense of 'things that work as they should', of 'right done'. If IB doesn't want to provide its protocols, well, who needs them? They could just provide an object API library that includes all the communication software with their servers. It could also be done in a way to remain perfectly compatible with present interfaces and absolutely no need to change a comma in your app, just relinking. But this all seems like a dream to me, at least for the near future. -GS
You don't need to do this anymore. Have a look at Configure->API->Trusted IP Addresses. You can set a list of client IP addresses from which connections are accepted without manual confirmation.
Just done. That's really useful, thank you dcraig, I had missed that. Do you know if this prevents *all* dialogs to come up and stop the TWS's normal operation unless you clic 'Ok' or is it just for the connection? I ask because I'm presently still using TWSStart to achieve full automation. -GS
In this moment I can't say which one, I really don't remember to have seen any recently. But I do remember that in past releases of TWS there were several, even showing in response to API events or non-executable orders, and that would block the TWS unless you closed the popup. So, please let me know if this issue has been totally resolved in last releases of TWS, because I couldn't see that reported in the release notes. It could be my fault, of course. For my part, I'll report should I notice any other popup. Thank you for your reply. -GS
I think TWS should come equipped with a cup holder - real space-age like, kine-like you find in the latest model SUVs. Dude, where else we gonna put the Java, or whatever magic juice we're drinkin'?? Blue Oh wait, that would require postage. Nevermind ....
This is just from memory so I may only have part of the story, but I think there is an issue if an app via the API attempts to attach a trailing stop to a limit order that has already been filled.
Hi IBsoft... My TWS works fine but when i keep a market depth screen for ES emini open all day it freezes up (stops working) a number of times (8 times yesterday) and i have to restart it... I do not have a complex TWS... no charts... no api... no DDE... no book trader or external DOM... only 5 fields up with quotes showing (very little)... my cpu is not topping out since i watch it all day with a software utility and i have P4 3.0 and 1GB of ram of good PC power... Is there anything i can tweak or do to keep it from freezing so i have to restart it all day... major annoying ... thanks cj _________________ HAVE STOP - WILL TRADE If You Have The Vision We Have The Code
