Post From: Looping trade requests with Interactive Brokers TWS

What you are seeing in the log is the result of (1) single trade. ONE. The looping is the repetitive cycling of Sierra doing inquiries to TWS over and over from just one trade. It used to do the one inquiry and be done with no problem. I had seen this problem previously months ago and whatever was done it ceased for several months. It now does this again. This is an endless loop until Sierra is disconnected and TWS rebooted. On the next trade the cycle begins again. It makes Sierra useless for running multiple accounts on TWS. TWS gave me the their API report on this which I also posted in the other thread for your review. Sierra is fine with a single account but it is useless for running multiple accounts on a single instance with TWS because this repeating request makes TWS cycle thru the accounts making it very difficult to look at TWS as it is constantly changing accounts from the Sierra inquiries. Changing trading/brokerage providers is not a suitable fix for me for this problem. The only workaround is to run multiple instances of Sierra + TWS as single entities. This is a bit of a shame as I have seen Sierra + TWS working together most of the time with no problem. |
