TWS has no problem handling multiple accounts at all.

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.
It clearly does have a problem if you are seeing this behavior. This should not be happening. This is just plain silly behavior on the part of TWS.


If it was TWS sending continuous execution data, this would be occurring even when Sierra is looking at a single account. That is not happening.
No, you would not see this in this particular case because when there is a single account, there is not the stopping and restarting of account updates like happens when there are multiple accounts and there is an execution.

We have looked at the code now, and we confirm that TWS is sending continuous executions if you are seeing this continuously. We are adding additional to confirm this.
