Hi,
I'm using IB Gateway with MC for data and for placing orders which works just fine. But on a chart with a strategy when I turn on SA I get the error "Source Intereactive Brokers" Message: Exception caught while reading socket - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine."
Any hints please?
In IB Gateway I see connected API's go from 1 to 2 to 1 over and over again. I turned the firewall off.
Thanks!

Re: Interactive Brokers Strategy Automation Error
Just tried mine. No issues.
1. Format Signals/Properties/Auto Trading - go to the bottom is your broker plugin set to IB?
2. Is the gateway port set proper? Do you have the API read only selected?

Hi GP,
Yes plugin is set to IB. I did a reboot and still the same error. Attached are some pics of my settings. I did SA trading a few years ago and it was working then...
Read only is not selected, port 4001 is used in all settings as far as I can see. Data and manual trading work.

Hi Shane,
If not the latest IB gateway, I would uninstall the gateway, download and install the latest.
Can't say if it is necessary or not, but the IB install video shows a different port number.

On the right pane look for IB.
Might need to chat with support as this forum isn't very active.
