RE: [amibroker] LAN Computers + IB RT-Data

["Herman" <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,

I apologize; the question was intended to go to some of my trading partners
to see if they had done it .. I clicked the wrong email address.

I accept it accessing the TWS from different computers works. My initial
question really meant to ask if sharing IB Data over a LAN has been done.

     did you guys ever run two computers and access the same TWS from both?

    My desktop computer died, have to install from recovery CDs...

    rest of the day is wasted :-(

      You can connect to a TWS on another computer.
      File\Database\DatabaseSettings ... Configure .. and put the IP address
of the computer running TWS.  Usually is 127.0.0.1 which is the local
computer.

      Not sure if this is what you want to do though, but it might be a
work-around.

        Hello,
        I am using IB real time data and have three computers on my LAN.
Typically I trade one or two computers and do developement on my laptop. I
use my Real Account, Simulated account, and the eDemo account. This way of
becoming RT funtional on each computer is not optimum and I would much
prefer to have access to the same IB data on each of my computers. I assume
many users use a LAN and have the same problem...
        Technically data-sharing over the LAN should be very easy to
implement since IB data dribbles in at about two quotes per second, plenty
slow for my main computer to publish data on my LAN and to be used by my
other computers with virtually no degradation.
        Has Anyone done this?
        Thanks and best regards,
        herman
