Hi all,
I was hoping someone here might have seen this error message before and know what to do. I've been in contact with the IB API team, but they don't know what's causing it.
At about 5.30am GMT every day my TWS loses connection to the IB servers. The TWS displays a message that it is trying to reconnect to the IB servers, which takes several minutes and attempts. My TWS restart is scheduled for 9.45pm so it's not that.
While this is happening I get the following error repeatedly from the API:
Error 1100, reqId -1: Connectivity between IB and Trader Workstation has been lost.
Until connection is restored and I get this message:
Error 1102, reqId -1: Connectivity between IB and Trader Workstation has been restored - data maintained. All data farms are connected: cashfarm; euhmds; cashhmds; secdefeu.
The IB API team suggested that it could be my local network, or internet service provider. I confirmed this wasn't the case by running from a different machine on a different network.
They also suggested that it could be a server-side issue on their end and that I should monitor their servers (). I was able to ping their European server continuous through this issue.
I'm using stable release 978 of TWS.
It's a bit annoying because I have a trade that tries to execute at this time which can lead to either a lengthy delay in it being filled, or not being filled at all.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.
