Thanks anyways Traider we got a second login going for the same IB account and will try that as the other way does not work for us.

Yep different client id's was the first thing I did as per instructions from IB. Problem is that to connect to IB the NT platforms start up TWS. We get TWS saying continue logging in or exit application? No matter which one is chosen to end up only one NT is connected. We are also running...

Have you been able to set up NT7 and NT8 to one instance of TWS? I was on skype with NT tech support who checked my settings and said what I wanted to do was not possible.

NT7 and NT8 both need a separate instance of TWS to connect, don't know how you can get both to connect to one TWS. Also running IBC as well to keep the IB connection logged in.

Yes that is one of the first things we did, does not work because IB doesn't allow two instances of TWS to run on the same IB account. We followed all the instructions given by IB. What we ended up doing was getting another login for the same account. NT7 will use one login and password...

Just an update. installed IBC and so far has run over 30 hours without a disconnection issue, never had a login prompt.

IB gateway reconnects now without asking for manual login, but the IB connection in Ninjatrader shows red like there is an issue but we still have the option to disconnect the feed? Really strange, I don't understand this. We disabled the security card feature in IB and that helped stop the...

@HobbyTrading does IBController work for any trading platform or does it interact solely with Gateway so it's a non-issue? Is there a particular version of IB Gateway that must be used with it?

Hi Fullautotrading. I created an account as a result of this thread. A friend and I are doing automated trading as well and frustrated as hell with all the disconnection (and worse, the requirement to manually login) issues with IB Gateway as we use this together with the Ninjatrader 8...
