I tried without API this morning and still ran into the same problem. Just after the close TWS got slower and slower until after about 2 minutes it had completely stopped updating anything.
'Just after the close' - do you mean closing the 'View/Trades' window? If so my TWS consistently locks up after that regardless of API. It loses the connection for 2-4 min, then it reconnects and refreshes the market data.
