"the Sierra Charts software is interpreting the absence of data as evidence that there are no portfolio changes occurring, and this may be a source of issue."
We do not know what they mean and there is nothing for us at this point to be doing.

We have not done anything further on this until you reproduce the issue since our last posting at post #47.

It looks like Interactive Brokers identified the problem based upon what was posted in the hidden post:

Upon initially launching TWS, it appears that TWS had a problem connecting to the IB server because of a competing session (a simultaneous login with the same username from a different instance of TWS, IB Gateway, WebTrader, or the mobile IB TWS). When there is a competing session, TWS will not be able to connect to the server to perform any task such as retrieving account values, requesting market data etc. It will also not be possible to perform the analogous functions through the API during this time period.

Prior to the competing session being disconnected, Sierra Charts appears to make a subscription request to receive account updates. This request is unsuccessful because of the competing session with the same username at this time. Sierra Charts appears to then not check whether the subscription request has been successfull but continues as usual.

So we are going to follow up with them about this. But this looks like something they need to resolve within TWS. That is the proper solution.

Yes, this is most likely not the issue at hand, I spoke with them about this and this only occurs when I first start up SC and then connect to IB. At no time am I running dual connections or dual sessions. This post was hidden after I got this response;

Does this issue occur during the time-frame (11:25:34) that the trade occurs?

As you reccomended, I will create a second username when trading specifically.

"In the complete TWS log file provided, the issue with a competing session only occurred in the first few seconds after TWS was launched- This was when Sierra Charts attempted to make a subscription to account updates that was unsuccessful."

This is normal on startup. Again have had no issues this AM, will ping you if issues comes up.

Thx

With the way that we see the sequence of events we think it can be a problem and we implemented a solution to it where if there is not a response to a request for Position data updates, Sierra Chart will reconnect to TWS.

This has been released and tested, it is out in version 1411.

When you can update to version 1411.

These questions will not be answered within this unrelated thread. You need to start a new Support Request.
