I am intermittently getting booted off of my IB TWS, like right now (i think they booted around midnight). This is what happens... quotes go dead/static. I try restarting the app, but my TWS gives me a "log in in progress" dialogue that opens and closes again and again after I submit my...

Hi There, I just started using IB's excel API. It's great for getting quotes, but a little frustrating when it comes to automated trading. While setting up a trade MANUALLY is pretty intuitive, I am having a lot of trouble doing it AUTOMATICALLY (through a cell, no button pushing). What i...
