To fully take advantage of the Trade Processor and Interactive Brokers Traders Workstation you must add a little configuration. Open the Traders WorkStation software program.

The TP automatically starts and eventually logs into TWS. This takes a long time .. and any mouse / kbd use will cause the TP autologin to fail. Once logged in, My TWS always has a pop-up msg. The TP seems to hang until I manually clear the TWS popup. So .. 1) TP needs to be able clear any TWS popups that occur. 2) TWS auto-start TWS/login feature should be optional. | ||

2) If IB is already running, TP should not try to run a second instance Thanks Bill | ||

Originally written by 131958 on 11/7/2012 12:16 PM Since I downgraded IB Trader Workstation to the version compatible with TP 1.x, I can log into my demo IB account, but can not log into my real account anymore. When entering the real user name/password and clicking on Login, nothing happens. Bill, Did you make sure to update the account under Edit > Connection Settings to the correct account number? | ||

Yes. TP opens IB and connects to the demo account. The problem is that when I close TP and IB and try to re-open IB on my real account it doesn't work now. | ||

Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me. What I've since worked out is that this problem was confined to one PC, it was not the TP or the TWS but some peculiarity in the installation on one PC. I've since run up two other PC's and they do not have this problem. I’ve since fixed the issue by completely uninstalling the TWS, and MOST IMPORTANTLY then DELETING the folder C:\JTS. If the c:\JTS folder is not deleted the problem continues. Restart and then reinstall the TWS from scratch and then everything works fine. John | ||

I've worked out that the issue exists on my existing PC, the one I've had trouble with before. I tried the TP on a PC that has not had any useage before, and it syncs just fine. Later in the day, I'll uninstall and reinstall the TP on my exising PC causing the trouble, and let you know the result. John | ||

Questions: Was there a reason the trades came out so late? Anyone have a clue why some of these trades would be rejected by IB? Now here's some more weired stuff. I have a second ROTH account (the wife's) and is is set up to trade the same portfolio of strats. It too had the 7/18 AMZN trade cancelled immediately after submission and I resubmitted with success. But on the 20th, only 4 positions on 3 symbols were submitted at 01:00. Two of those symbols were ones rejected by IB in the first account. But for this account, all the trades were held and traded in the morning. Questions: Why would there be significant differences in the trades submitted between two similar accounts running the same portfolio of systems? Why did these trades go through for symbols rejected in the other account? Is available equity somehow coming into play?

I wanted to observe the process, particularly with regard to OT and automated forex trading using an IBG. Called IB tech support: --The servers are shutdown between 2345 and 0045 EST. --The server reset process takes several minutes, usually <5' --But may take longer dependent on what maintenance is required. So automated trading of forex will have another 'hole' in the data to consider, on top of the ten minute Nirvana data 'hole' that occurs at about the same time (midnight-0010 EST = 11pm--1110 Nirvana CST). --Mark G. | ||

BTW, I have my Order Submission set for 9:20AM to 11AM, not for specific, empirical reasons related to Broker Rejects, but I very rarely get Broker Rejects from IB when using those times. Might try looking at trades through TWS too to review reject reason? [Edited by BrianD on 7/21/2016 5:19 PM] |
