We have about 50 sub accounts attached to an IB master account, but only a few are using TWSLink to receive orders from TradeStation signals. During start up, TWSLink is reading the open positions in all 50 accounts -- is there a way to ignore the accounts that won't be using TWSLink, or should we set up a separate master account that would only have sub accounts that are using TWSLink.
Thank you
Rick

Re: Ignoring sub accounts during start up
Please check the setup file, usually located in
Open twslink.xml in a text editor and search for tag <acc_update_mode>.
If the value is full, try to set to summary
If it is already set to summary, there is no way to reduce startup time, except setting to off.
But in this case, you can't get position information.
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\trade-commander\twslink2\xml
If the value is full, try to set to summary
Code: Select all
<acc_update_mode ttl="off,summary,full">summary</acc_update_mode>
But in this case, you can't get position information.

Re: Ignoring sub accounts during start up
It is already set to summary, so I guess the easiest solution is to set up another master account just for TWSLink accounts.
