Description

If IB goes down, Portfolio Trader fails to re-connect properly after IB becomes available again.

Steps to reproduce this issue
  • launch IB Gateway
  • launch Portfolio Trader
  • enable auto-trading
  • wait for IB to go down, e.g. during scheduled system maintenance
  • wait for IB to become available again, e.g. after scheduled maintenance
    => Portfolio Trader reports an error in the log and auto-trading will no longer work, even though it still shows enabled.

Exiting and re-starting Portfolio Trader will fix this issue.

Exiting and re-starting IB Gateway does not fix this issue.

System information:
* IB Gateway 948.2b
* Portfolio Trader 9.0.10360.400
* data connection through MB Trading
