Is it possible to connect multicharts with IB not using TWS?
As the TWS platform of IB have to be shutdown at a specified time every day, it creating a problem if I want to run an overnight strategy.
are there any other connection mean so that I can connect to IB without using TWS or avoid forced to shut down the TWS daily?

1. use TWS and a 3rd party software to reset the shutdown clock (google ibcontroller or twsstart)
2. use the IB Gateway instead of TWS (detail in IB website)

Re: Connect Multicharts to IB without TWS
I tried to download the mentioned IB Gateway
but IB website said "IB Gateway is packaged with TWS. Click one of the buttons below to begin the download"
is that mean I need to download TWS first and then I get the IB gateway afterward?
is it the same with TWS?
