Hi I'm also using IBKR (Gateway) and trying to trade through SC. I have gone through all the steps to connect the two. I have a problem with downloading speed. When my SC downloads the updates the price action freezes with it on the DOM and the charts. It can take anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes to sort itself out. I thought it could be my computer, but my computer is operating fine and I'm not even using all the CPU or Memory during the downloads. Both are quite low. I'm wondering if there is a way to limit the downloads from IBKR so that I'm only getting historical data from Denali. I have the settings set to for the trading server to not "Record True Real-Time Data in Intraday Charts". I think that was the default to be honest. Other things to note, for a period I was trading with a VPN. I'm also using WIFI. I will upgrade to cable connection, but I have 5G on both. My Message Log says closed sockets a lot. Don't know if that is a bad thing or a good thing. Earlier today. A message popped up on my chart in the lower left screen. This only happened once and in the morning, which would be Globex session. "Loaderr: (V38/Dir) - HTTP_Request_Error" Also, I noticed in the setup instructions which is for TWS. It has a box to enable Active X and Sock Clients. Gateway doesn't have the feature. Not sure if that has anything to do with it either. My feeling is its slow because of my connection to IBKR. I have run SC- delayed trial with NT8 and TWS at the same time and didn't have any issues on either. I was also using API with TWS on NT8. Is there way to reduce the interaction with IBKR and still trade with SC? |
