Connect to TWS in main not in Thread (Java)

twsapi
 

Hi board,

I have a question regarding the thread programming in Java with the IB API. In the example application (Example 1) you see that first the main class is called and within that class a new thread is called e.g. new Example1(args[0]).start();
If I move the connect call to TWS e.g. connectToTWS(); into the main class the thread will not see/be able to access the open connection to TWS.

My question is now, why is the thread not able to use the opened connection within main but need its own connection call? And can I actually use just one connection call in main to be used by multiple threads?

What I want to achieve is that the main class opens the initial call to TWS and holds this open while different threads can use this open connection. As every call of connectToTWS(); requires me to allow access in the TWS client I only want to authorize my program once not every time a thread actually opens the connection. Not much of automation when I need to authorize it manually every time :)

Thanks so much for your help!

Regards


Re: The following jar files is missing from the classpath: hsqldb.jar

I'm using TWS 938.1 which starts and runs flawlessly if I open it by
using the TWS icon on the desktop. I'm also using IBControllerV2-9-0
with the default command line. I must admit I don't even know where
the command line can be found. I opened various files and did not see
anything which looks like what has been posted in this thread. Which
file contains the command line?
Sorry, I dont use IBController. But there are a lot of users here which can help you how to change the classpath for the TWS in IBController.

I do see the total.2012.jar file in C:\jts directory.

Thanks David

Most JAR files are now stored in one single JAR file:
"total.2012.jar".

A more recent command is:

C:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;system32&#92;javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;total.2012.jar
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dswing.boldMetal=false
-Dsun.locale.formatasdefault=true -Xmx768M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
jclient/LoginFrame C:&#92;Jts


Can you start TWS normally without using IBController? I don't
use that so am not sure how it works. The command I use to start
TWS is the default from the installation script.

C:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;system32&#92;javaw.exe -cp
jts.jar;hsqldb.jar;jcommon-1.0.12.jar;jfreechart-1.0.9.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;rss.jar

If I remember right he was talking about a limit order which of course
will sit until the price is met. Market orders in liquid markets are
essentially instantaneous.

Whoops. Forgot one thing you need to do if you want to disable the "Accept incoming connection attempt" message TWS gives you when you try to connect. (This makes full automation easier.) In Trader Workstation, click on Edit-Global Configuration, then click on "General". Under "Trusted IP Addresses", click "Create" and add "127.0.0.1" then click on "OK" to save it.

Unfortunately IB imposes limitations on the amount of contracts
that can be returned when invoking the reqContractDetails( ) method.
In this particular case it would be best to include additional
contract parameters which will narrow your scope.
Example if you include m_expiration and m_right then you can
determine all the available strikes for that particular expiration.
Alternatively if you include m_strike and m_right you can determine
all the available expirations.
But please note there are currently an issue that development is
working on with respect to Option Contracts. It seems even though
you include the m_expiry there still is a 1 minute buffer for
additional requests. Once this has been resolved I will provide
you a follow-up comment on this ticket with additional details,

Re: The following jar files is missing from the classpath: hsqldb.jar

 

Thanks for your assistance with this. I tried starting TWS from the IB website. The script seemed to run a litle further after that as the username and password were entered and a log in attempt was made but then the same hsqldb message came up.

Re: Need Information Regarding FIll Or Kill Order

 

If you have the same problem when using TWS alone, it is not an API problem.
You might still get help here but it is technically off-topic. Problems
should always be addressed in TWS first before API questions become
relevant. Otherwise you look in the wrong place for most problems. It is a
common mistake. First try things in TWS. Second if you have problems with
your code, try things in the API demo apps if possible. In your own code
make sure you are receiving error callbacks (and logging or otherwise
recording the information) so you can report all appropriate information
when you post a question.


You do not explain what you mean by "unable to get FOK value" when using TWS
alone. If FOK simply does not show up in the popup list, then you probably
have not enabled it in the Features under your TWS configuration. At the
moment I'm running IB Gateway so I can only run TWS in demo mode. But there
I see what I previously suggested to you. Under

Configuration > Features > Order Management > Time-in-Force

you must make sure Fill-or-Kill is checked. Is this your problem?

The curious thing is that IB Gateway does not seem to provide the Features
section. Perhaps this means all such features are turned on in IB Gateway.
If so using the Gateway might be something else for you to try, at least to
get more information, if necessary.

Hi,

I'm just setting up on a new PC and I'm encountering the following error message.

Fatal Error: one of the following jar files is missing from the classpath:
hsqldb.jar
Please make sure you run the application from the shortcut that was
installed on your desktop or on the Start menu when you upgraded.

I've not come across these before but I also got some regarding jfreechart and jcommon which I seemed to overcome by downloading and pasting into the appropriate folder. I cant seem to get this one sorted though. Any ideas?

Thanks
David

Hi David,

I do format one of the computer's partitions and re-install everything from scratch every 6 months. I stumble into this error each time.

At first, I was puzzled with this and was wondering what I was doing wrong. I couldn't pinpoint the root cause of this, but I found out that running another web based java application will miraculously make the web based TWS find everything it needs.

This bug is easy to reproduce:

1) Format partition
2) Install OS and all required updates (In my case: Windows Server 2008 R2-x64)
3) Install latest Java Virtual machine (In my case: Java x86)
4) Make sure the Java plugging is working fine, by using the "Java Version Verifier" on the Java web site.
5) Finally, try lauching TWS from the InteractiveBrokers web site.

Result: Boom! The missing jar's components will appears.

After running the TMX's QuoteStream java web application, from QuoteMedia, everything will work fine for TWS.

This is NOT something new. As far as I remember, I've been having this error for at least 2 years now. I've always wanted to report this bug to IB. Then, having the burden to prove IB the bug is on their side, kept my procrastinating to report it. As far as I have a work around, I keep procrastinating.

I'm surprised that not much people have come across this bug. On the other hand, I guess not much people run TWS, as the first Java application, right of the bat, after having re-install and setup the OS.

I know it's not a solution per say. But it may help you to stop searching for something wrong in your installation, which I'm sure is perfectly fine.

As a side note:

Although I've been silently monitoring this forum for more than a year now, I would like to take the opportunity of this first post/reply to salute all the contributors. Comments on this forum are always constructive, which is much appreciated.

Regards, Mike

You don't mention if you actually have the file. The default location in in the &#92;jts directory.

Re: Need Information Regarding FIll Or Kill Order

 

What you are stating is not quite clear.

Dear Friends,

I am placing an order with Fillorkill as timeinforce which gives 'FOK'.
Do you mean you are placing an order via the API? You are specifying "FOK"
in timeinforce?

but
if i place an FOK order for any Stock (Which they specified in help) that
order is showing
What do you mean by showing? The Order echoed back to you by order
callbacks does not match the Order you passed to placeOrder?

The only think I can think of is maybe TWS requires that you enable the
order feature in order to use it via the API.

Have you tried placing the same order via TWS?

-Kurt

as limit order (LMT) with DAY as Time in Force instead of
Fillorkill (FOK).

please provide me any scrip available to test FOK Order for testing.
