I recently tested IBGateway together with JBookTrader and everything seems to work fine. It is now possible to replace TWS with IBGateway with the advantage of less overhead, less memory usage and (most important) no need for restarting TWS each day (or using a third party program). It is provided with the full installation file of the TWS (not with the updates). You only have to edit the portnumber and the clientID in the settings of IBGateway.
For me this is a better solution than using IBContropller or TWSstart. On 16 Nov., 20:46, Astor <[email protected]> wrote: > No, IBGateway accepts API socket connection.
