Re: How to turn off 2FA
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRobert ? The item I was referring to in the User Guide? is under ¡®NOTES REGARDING AUTO-RESTART IN TWS/GATEWAY 1018 and later versions¡¯ on the first page. ? Maybe you aren¡¯t familiar with the Auto-Restart mechanism in Gateway and TWS? This is precisely a means to login once at the start of the week, and Gateway/TWS will then automatically restart each day and re-login (not requiring 2FA) using cryptographically secured data generated just before the restart. I suggest you read the relevant IBKR documentation (I can¡¯t give you a link for that offhand, but I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to find it). ? My personal preference has always been for Windows (at least, since Windows NT 4 was released). I¡¯ve never been a fan of Unix or Linux, in spite of being a user of Solaris back in the late 80s). ? Regarding the GUI, if you¡¯re running Gateway it¡¯s probably irrelevant since there¡¯s not much you can do with it once you¡¯ve got things configured properly (and that usually means no configuration at all since Gateway works quite well ¡®out-of-the-box¡¯ with IBC). However you¡¯ll still need XVFB since Gateway does actually have a GUI so there needs to be something there to absorb the X protocol stuff it generates. ? If you¡¯re wanting to run large numbers of Gateway instances concurrently, Linux would be much cheaper. You can ¡®Dockerize¡¯ IBC to greatly reduce resource consumption (IBC does not provide an ¡®official¡¯ Docker image, but there are quite a few floating around if you look for them, and they would be a good starting point for creating your own). ? Regarding ¡®partnering up¡¯, I simply don¡¯t have time for taking on anything like this. You are of course free to use IBC in any way you like (compliant with its GPL licence), and it shouldn¡¯t be too difficult to incorporate its scripts into your infrastructure. But if IBC ends up helping your business and you want to send a slice of your profits to me, I¡¯d be happy to receive them: but as is usually the case with open source software, nobody else does (except for a handful of private users): my total financial benefit over 21 years of IBC development is probably far less than $500. ? If you want to discuss this any further, please email me directly as this isn¡¯t really on-topic for this group. ? Richard ? ? ?

I really appreciate your efforts on IBC, it really seems like a great product and can¡¯t wait to get it set up.? ? I¡¯m also the lead developer of lumibot (over 700 github stars) and the CEO of lumiwealth (a community of over 30k Algo traders). Maybe we can partner up somehow? I¡¯d be happy to promote IBC and maybe we can add native support to lumibot. We are also a for profit entity so we can pay you for sending us traffic.? ? As for your responses: ? 1. Can you point me to where exactly you mention this? Maybe I¡¯m blind but I can¡¯t find it.? ? 2. This is awesome, can¡¯t wait to set up IBC.? ? 3. Love these suggestions. Which do you prefer, Windows or Linux? I¡¯ve never had to run a GUI in either one. I¡¯m assuming Linux would be much cheaper?? ? Also any thoughts on doing this without a GUI? I¡¯m just thinking if we wanted to automate this process for 1000+ accounts it could get tricky.?
