Post From: Looping trade requests with Interactive Brokers TWS

These alerts that you refer to, are they coming from TWS and what are they indicating?

What we see is that you have multiple trading accounts and the particular interface that Sierra Chart uses through TWS to obtain positions require that we iterate through each account and start and stop position updates in order to get the position quantities. This happens on a delay every time there is a fill.

There is a different request and response that TWS has to automatically send positions but that has not been implemented because this current interface does work fine and the other one had some implementation complexities. Still it is necessary to still use the old method anyway for at least account balance data.

But there really is not an endless loop going on.

In regards to the overfill, we cannot help with that but it does not cause any problem either.

In regards to trading futures, have a look at this new service to see if you can use it as an alternative:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

It does support multiple trading accounts, and there is a method to copy orders to other accounts if that would help:
