Re: 2 MT5 for 2 strategies with fake and true IB accounts

I am sorry, this is not possible. The bridge can only connect to one IB account and multiple MT4/5 accounts. The IB account can be single or FA. (It is not recommended to run more than one TWS or gateway on one machine.) Some options: 1. Get a 2nd license of the bridge and run a 2nd bridge on same m...

Re: Additional license

I dont think this is necessary.

Have you checked the license file ? Use the same file as on your production machine please.

Re: Additional license

I checked on our server that your license has an instance lock. This fits to the symptoms you described. It should be machine lock. I changed this now. So you should be able to run TWSLink on 2 different machines at the same time and on each machine as many instances you like. (As TS splits into mul...

Re: Bridge disconnected each day

Sorry for late answer. You get the ticks from MetaTrader broker. The disconnection is not done by the bridge. It comes from IB and i just want to say that this seems to be normal. But the bridge holds the connection. So normally you have a lack some seconds. I can understand your concerns but i can'...

Re: Additional license

No. 2 options: Option 1: Just buy a 2nd license. Put in on test or production machine. Note: You can install TWSLink on as many machines you like and you can copy license. Just if you run more instances than allowed with license, the latest started instance gets blocked. Option 2: If you need the sa...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I believe to understand the problem but i have no idea where this wrong argument is coming from. I cant reproduce it, the TWSLink code is very simple in this, so easy to track for issues. All TWSLink functions are thread safe. Shall mean: if you call them from different threads (charts), internal co...

Re: Bridge disconnected each day

Hello,
this is IB not the bridge. The bridge always upholds connection to TWS. But TWS gets disconnected from IB sometimes more than 1 times
per day.
Why is this a problem ?

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Then i suggest we have TeamViewer where we can clear this together. My bet: What ever string you pass, it will arrive at IB.

- I think it is on your end -- but it doesn't matter at this point Sorry no, strong opposition: your own logs proved TWSLink works correct here. There is no malfunction in TWSLink regarding this point. You can pass any string as profile, there is no trim, no cut or any other manipulation of this pa...

So this makes it clear. The order with uid=97058 has profile VXX Alloc. Mind your own post.

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Just made a check. If i pass "VXX Algo Alloc" then it arrives exactly at the socket and is sent to IB without being manipulated. (It simply makes no sense to cut something out in the mid or cut anything). From the log you picked the place order entry, pick the corresponding SET_FA_MEMBERS entry, so ...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

I can see. Two possible causes:
1. TWSLink itself changes the value, so deletes "Algo"
or
2. You programm passes this to TWSLink.

Please check the exp. function call as well, so watch for SET_FA_MEMBERS

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Twslink just forwards the alloc parmeters. A bug here is unlikely if not impossible.
Please check again on your side.

The order of the function call is whatever.
When you pass a 1 for transmit, the order is sent to IB.

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

Hello, in my tests with the new version it works. If you need other algos, please read the IB API documentation. https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/ibalgos.html#gsc.tab=0 This provides information about parameter to be used. Please mind: TWSLink provides much but not all features of IBs AP...

Re: Determining if stock is shortable

The shortable information is not in the return value of the market data request. It is carried by a tick value when you get new market data. According IB, the shortable info in request must not be a snapshot, so set last param of request to 0. Market data (and shortable information) are catched by m...

Re: Placing Adaptive Algorithmic orders

It is a license fault. Since about a year, twslink has a machine lock license not instance lock.
But when a new license is created, it is still instance lock (by default). I switched your license
to machine and it should work now.

Re: bridge report: what do columns mean?

Hello, In case of market orders, the important column is price, which is IB price. The MT-price is the price you got at MT. mt5_open_position means, this is your position entry price. If you set a target, this is a lmt order. As limit orders have price guarantee, the MT price is same as MT entry. On...
