You can get quite far very quickly with the stock installation for Intel x86 processors by doing four steps:

• Download the offline installer for a Linux TWS
• Install a decent Oracle 64bit Java JVM for ARM processors that must include JavaFX
• Install it with like this: app_java_home="/path/to/your/Java/installation" sh tws-latest-standalone-linux-x86.sh
  
• Use the "Start TWS" option from the last installation screen

I only have an old and very tired 32bit Raspberry Pi 2 with less than 800MB of RAM. It runs a 32bit version of Debian 10 (Buster) but does not meet many of the requirements for TWS,

However, TWS installation, startup, and login works fine. It hangs at "Starting Managers" but since TWS logs are encrypted at that point, debugging would be a challenge. A modern 64bit processor with good graphics might just work.

If you are still getting resets, just send a secure message to IB and describe your problem to them. I did the same yesterday regarding my reset times (see post 48041 above), and had a response from IB overnight (Sydney time). I've seen many people bag IB support, but this was a very quick response, and directly to the point.

It turns out that I am connected to a US server, with Hong Kong reset times, resulting in a disconnection from the Primary Server, with the resulting purple grids, at 07:15 and 15:45 US Central time each trading day. IB are going to change me to the Hong Kong server, with US reset times. I will still get the resets, but not while I am looking at the US markets. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Yeah, I also trade the US markets only. So far I was doing the restart ahead of the nightly resets (around 7:55 pm PST), and so if the reset (recovery) wasnt clean, my TWS would be stuck till next morning when trading starts and I needed to doublecheck early morning that it was stuck or not. Now I have pushed the restart past the reset in the hope that the restart fixes any lingering issues from the reset. At least it worked last night.

If you can move the TWS restart farther from the nightly IB reset I think you have a better chance of avoiding surprises.

It all depends on the markets you trade of course. I only look at US markets so I can restart TWS at 5:15Pm eastern when all local markets are closed.

So this still happens after upgrading to the recent version of TWS - I think I have noticed now that it has only happened after Wednesday disconnects and recovery( the daily midnight EST disconnects) the last 3 weeks. For now, what I have done is changed my daily TWS restart to happen after these disconnects ( 1am EST). This worked last night..

Hi Derek,

Did you achieve to run TWS on Raspberry Pi 4 or any other ARM processor?? If the answer is yes, could you please provide a detailed explanation of how to do it?? Does anybody else know?

I am looking forward to your reply,

Subscribed yesterday to WSH.

Now able to get WSH_PREV_EARNINGS and?WSH_NEXT_EARNINGS via scanner.

But request?reqWshMetaData(1001) fails with API error: "Error Code: 10276? Error Msg: News feed Is Not allowed."

Error description doesn't say much: "The API client is not permissioned for receiving WSH news feed."


When I check Global Configuration -> API -> News Configuration there is no WSH listed.
Also in Global Configuration -> Information Tools -> News Configuration can't find anything WSH related.

Using TWS build 985.1k as gateway. API ver?9.85.2.0? and Vb.NET

Seems like I miss some subscription but what and where?

Thanks
Priit

anyone who know the meaning of this?

Thanks for the clear answer.

Sorry for the late reply.

My starting point was the sample app of the API. Very usefull. My call I now use for example:

reqMktData(mktDataRequest, FullContract, "", true, false, new List<TagValue>());

Where
mktDataRequest is an int number
FullContract is the contract I get in API message

ibClient.ContractDetails += HandleContractDataMessage;
void HandleContractDataMessage(ContractDetailsMessage message) {};

after asking for the contract details.

I hope this helps, success.

Hi All,

Can someone tell me what the logic is of the month in the symbol name of a FTI future (FTA)

I know the prefix of the name is FTI and a number describing the year (1 for 2021).
Between 'FTI' and '1' there is a character which is for the month.

What I have so far is:

???? ??? jan
??? ??? feb
FTIH1??? ??? mrt
FTIJ1??? ??? apr
??? ??? may
FTIM1??? ??? jun
??? ??? jul
??? ??? aug
FTIU1??? ??? sep
FTIV1??? ??? okt
FTIX1??? ??? nov
FTIZ1??? ??? dec

Why is H used for the 3th month. What is used for jan, feb, may,jun, jul, aug...

Kind regards

Harry

Hi Nick64,

I am trying to get my API working to get some option data using reqMktData. Very interested in the fact that you have got yours to work. I'm using JAVA but even if you are using another language I will be grateful if you could show me an example of what are the parameters you are using for reqMktData to work. Thanks in advance for your timw.

Hi,
I am looking for help in getting my reqMktData to work in getting me market data. I was hoping you may be able to help.
For options on Dow Jones. This gives no error (wether it is working is another question :)
symbol="YM"
secType="FOP"
currency="USD"
exchange="ECBOT"
localSymbol="C OYM SEP 21 35650"

But for DAX the following gives me security definition not found
symbol="DAX"
secType="OPT"
currency="EUR"
exchange="DTB"
localSymbol="P ODX1 SEP 21 15800"

any ideas/help/documentation?

Much appreciated

I should clarify I am not trying to log into both accounts at the same time. ?The python script is working on the paper trading account, but it is not working on the regular login. ?I have two accounts a margin account and a TFSA account, So I wonder if the program needs to specify a login account.
