Concurrent connections from different machines

How do I set up MD subscriptions from two different machines?

Example: Two computers: A and B

Machine A. Run TWS with MD subs
Machine B. Run IB gateway, API use, with MD subs

As I understand it, only one connection is permitted at a time. Do I need separate accounts?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Keith
 
You are correct Keith. Turning on one session will terminate the other.

You can setup another User for the same account, but a separate MD sub will still be charged by User.

Perhaps, you can make requests to the API for both your project and a 3rd party front end? But then, you will be hitting request limits and timeouts. This issue will require an enhancement $$ to your sub. Forget about long term + high resolution charting altogether as it will eat your limit.

you can just run one TWS and connect to it from N machines with a different client_id.
 
Il y a des options payantes sur IB pour pouvoir utiliser deux ou plusieurs sessions sur le même compte et en même temps .
