I think it might be a TWS problem, I have another computer running TS2ki (no MC) and TWS is frozen there too BUT quotes are still coming in !
It just started the past 2 days for me.

Hi jmi88,

Try running TWS alone - without launching MultiCharts. If the freeze occurs anyways, it would mean this is a TWS problem. If it only occurs when MultiCharts is also being run, please contact our customer support via LiveChat.

Regards.

I had this problem last night and around 2AM EST it went away, IB does server reboots from 7PM EST to 1AM EST.

Usually you'll have data feed outages around those times.

Hi guys,

I'm afraid I'm getting confused. Do you think that MC is related to those freezes or not? If you do think that it's MultiCharts fault, please provide more details describing what exactly happens.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

According to our information, the latest version of TWS freezes when a socket client tries to establish connection to TWS. This is the problem on TWS end. I would recommend contacting them.

In the meantime, the problem can be avoided if instead of the latest TWS release you switch back to their latest beta.
