Hello
I just read the information about IB Gateway. This piece of software offer by IB is a substitute for TWS. Main advantage, no need to update or reload TWS every day
Any experience to share?

Hi Martin,Hello

I tested IB Gateway only briefly and observed it consumed close to 500Mb of RAM. I am back to TWS. You mileage may vary.

OK
Main problem with IB Gateway is that you dont get access to your live account info. These where available with TWS.
Multicharts does not provide the info. I want to follow my margin usage before every trade to make sure that I don't use more than 50% of it in any time.
Also, I'm experimenting connection loss with IB Gateway. Don't know if it is normal when using it in demo account. Would not be acceptable in live trading session.
