Hi Keith,

While you can create multiple user ids for a live account, IB only allows one user id for a paper account. So, you could use that paper account user id to log in with the IB Gateway or TWS but not both at the same time.

The good news is that TP is now quite reliable and I find that I have little need to have TWS running in parallel with TP/IB Gateway.
