Thanks for your guide.
I tried to run the sample code in your first post, but got these messages. Why?
Connection timeout meaning your TWS/Gateway couldn't be connected to.
Make sure your port/IP are correct and your TWS/Gateway accepts connections. Config -> API -> Settings -> Enable ActiveX Socket Clients and Socket port.
The way how I read this error report: you did not provide correct parameters to connect to TWS/Gateway. Are you sure you defined parameters ipaddress, portid and clientid?Thanks for your guide.

I am not familiar with Python and not familiar with this particular code. Apparently something goes wrong when you try to disconnect from IB: self.socket.close()Ah yes, I forgot to change the port in the sample code and enable API in this new installation of TWS.
But after I did them, I got a new set of messages saying there was an exception:
The other messages (2104, 2106) are benign and you can ignore them. You did get the time from TWS: 1518160986.
Strange. Doesn't happen for me with chrome on my Samsung android phone. The site is hosted by google, so hopefully they are aware of the problem and can fix it.
