¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThe thread you link to indicates that this was a temporary issue that has now been resolved. ? Please check to make sure that there really is still an issue for you. ? If so, it may be that IBKR are enforcing this in the Asia region, but not in Europe or the US (I¡¯m in Europe and have no problem). ? It may be worth upgrading to the latest TWS which is 1029.1g I think (unless you¡¯re using the stable version, in which case make sure you¡¯ve got the latest version of that). ? Note that in general, once a ¡®latest¡¯ version has been superseded by an even later version, IBKR don¡¯t continue to maintain the previous latest, so bugs in it are not fixed. In other words, if you¡¯re using the ¡®latest¡® version, you need to check regularly to make sure you really are still using the latest. Personally I would never consider using the ¡®latest¡¯ version for live trading, though I do use it for the paper trading account. ? I also want to emphasise that I¡¯m reluctant to have IBC override TWS functionality unless it¡¯s really necessary. It may be the case that the Honk Kong authorities have insisted that IBKR enforce this behaviour (if I remember correctly, this is what happened with mandatory 2FA: first Asia, then the rest of the world). ? So I suggest that someone should complain to IBKR about this issue (if indeed it still is an issue for some users), and find out what their motivation is. ? Richard ? ?

I'm reaching out to request a new function in IBCalpha to handle the "Lock Trader Workstation after 30 minutes of Inactivity" dialog. This issue has been discussed in the TWS API community, and it seems that the "Never Lock Trader Workstation" option is no longer available in TWS version 10.26 and later. ? As a result, traders (from Hong Kong, and others seem to bump into this randomly) are forced to enter their password every 30 minutes to unlock their workstation. TWS won't interact at all during this time, which can be inconvenient and disrupt trading activities. I believe that a function to automatically handle this dialog would be a valuable addition to IBCalpha. ? The issue is described in more detail here: /g/twsapi/topic/tws_option_never_lock_trader/103503025 ? I would appreciate it if you could consider adding this functionality to IBCalpha. Thank you for your time and effort in maintaining this valuable tool. ? Best regards |
