Let me correct that. Only 1 instance of TWS/Gateway per login is possible. You can run multiple copies of TWS/Gateway at the same time provided each use a distict login / connect to a different account. It is possible to request IB to configure 1 account with multiple logins, but you will be charged monthly data fees for each login. > > > > thanks for the help! > > > > -greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
