Microsoft took away the classic Start menu Barry mentioned in Windows 8, and I do not think installing the IB client download 'Pins' the IB Gateway on the 'new' Windows 8 Start menu. If running Windows 8 (and if memory serves me correctly), find the "IB Gateway" API it in the 'Apps' section of Windows 8, under "Interactive Brokers". As John W stated, once the IB Gateway API is started, the API runs continuously (AS LONG AS you keep your server/PC running 7-24), versus TWS logging you off daily. So, you should not need TWS Start. OR, you can you can run 7/24 from a "Cloud" server you source from a hosting site like Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Then you do not need to remember to start TWS, or the IB Gateway, or hope 'TWS Start' will get everything up and running when you boot up, etc. etc, etc. I believe cloud computing is the only way to go with a product like TP - it provides lots of comfort, and some free time :-) |
