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

["cstrader" <cstrader232@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Herman:

I'm not an expert, but I might be able to help.  127.0.0.1 is only to read the TWS on the machine on which it is running.  It is not a real ip address.  To see the real ip address of the computer -- the one that will be seen by the other computer, do this:

choose start, run:  type "cmd'  then enter

in the dos prompt type "ipconfig /all"

Look for the ip address listed for your LAN.

then put that IP address as the TWS in AB on the other computer.

Hope this helps.

chuck

  OK, I got my computers running again. AB. I have the TWS running on one and the TWS on the other... Problem is that my AB IB plugin status stays Red.

  Seems like this is working for you, I may need a bit more basic instructions... could you tell me what else i have to do?

  If i understand you correctly you collect data on one computer from a TWS running on the other - is this correct?

  What if both my computer use the IP 127.0.0.1 ? should i change one? How do i do that?

  many thanks for you help...

    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
