My question is how or can I run quote tracker and IB's TWS at the same time on separate computers with separate dsl connections.......... What I want to do is have my one computer, with a dual screen display, providing the data and charts via Quote tracker. I want to trade on my second computer with a stand alone version of TWS. The two computers are not networked and do not share a internet connection. The problem seems to be that you are required to be logged into your IB account in order to receive the data feed thru Quote tracker. IB does not allow you to log in on two computers at the same time so is there a work around for this??
I don't know if you still have this issue. However, you don't need another account to do this. There is a special patch that allows you to connect QT to TWS on a different machine. This patch is not supported so if you have any problems you are on your own, though I don't know of any such problems.
