IB - TWS versus Gateway

Postby GTrader » 18 Jun 2014

I was trying to use the IB Gateway instead of TWS mainly for running automated strategies since the Gateway doesn't automatically log off at night. The problem I was running into was when I look up a ticker for Interactive Brokers it automatically launches TWS and logs me out of the Gateway.

I have the socket settings correct in both the quote manager as well as the broker so I'm not sure what is going on. Any ideas?

Hello GTrader,

Please go to QuoteManager->Tools->Data sources->Interactive brokers->Settings->disable the option "Launch Trader Workstation at start".
