Re: Market data sharing between Live and Paper account


 

Sounds like the typical HelpLess Desk answer they gave you, Richard. That is disappointing since the problem seems impact more than just API clients.

We have one remote system that constantly runs a paper account in TWS 10.19.2d and occasionally starts the corresponding live account in second TWS 10.19.2d. Worked all the time until yesterday, but this morning, for the first time, TWS with the paper account looses market data (charts go away wit "competing live session" error) as soon as TWS with the corresponding live account starts.

I¡¯ll keep you informed¡­

Same here. I hope it's a bug - not a new feature.

BTW: Does anybody know, how one can subscribe market data explicitly for the paper account (sharing disabled)?

Interesting, I¡¯m seeing something similar.

I run live and paper TWS on the same computer. I have a number of API clients, some of which run on the same computer as the TWS instances, and others on several other computers.

Until today this has worked faultlessly for years.

?

But today the paper TWS is receiving no market data at all, while the live TWS is perfectly fine.

I¡¯ve checked in Account Management to ensure the data sharing option was still set, and it is (I hadn¡¯t been near Account Management for weeks, but I had to make sure it hadn¡¯t somehow been reset by IB).

?

I¡¯ve submitted a ticket to IB. I hope they fix this soon, as I used the paper TWS pretty much all the time for testing my trading platform.

?

Just for the record, live TWS is 10.19, paper TWS is 10.25.

Up until today, there was no problem running both Live and Paper Trading account connections (2 IBG instances) on the same computer , and occasionally establishing a connection to a Paper trading account from an API client? on a different computer.

?

But from today, i have started getting:

Error 162, reqId 3: Historical Market Data Service error message:Trading TWS session is connected from a different IP address,...

?

when it is clearly not.
