Hi S.C. Support, Interactive Brokers usually resets its servers sometime around 11:30 p.m. central time and that causes a disconnection of TWS. During that time, this "Accept incoming connection attempt?" window pops up with a "Yes" "No" button and S.C. will not connect until the "Yes" is clicked. IB's TWS keeps adding this window in multiples as S.C. attempts to reconnect. It could be hundreds of this window stacking up that I can only shut down TWS via Task Manager as sometimes is not possible to keep click "Yes" to go through all windows. Is there a way in TWS or S.C. that can either bypass this window, or add codes in S.C. to auto-click "Yes" so S.C. will remain connected to TWS or reconnect to TWS during the IB server shutdown period? Sometimes this also happens if we lose connection to IB briefly during regular trading hours. Hope to find a way for S.C. to keep the connection with TWS locally even though TWS may not be connected to IB's server. TWS has its only reconnection attempt settings to its sever but not sure why this window pops up very often. Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-02-22 14:16:49
