Re: TWS forgets

No sure if the problem is related to dial-up connection.. maybe all you can get is a dial-up. Besides that.. I use IBController v2.2 (groups.yahoo.com - twsapi group - look under files). I use this to automanage 2 IB accounts. Using Cable ISP btw. TWS's start sunday night, dies friday night - never a problem. Fully automanaged. Oh - using latest TWS, Java 1.5 - no problems. I have used the above setup both under a linux box & a w2k box - very stable & reliable under both.

Folks, here's the mystery:

Several times weekly and perhaps only when a telephone-ISP disconnect occurs TWS will forget to restart getting data for one or more contracts.

Today, for example, the telephone connection to the ISP was interrupted for two minutes prior to the regular open. Upon restoring of the connection TWS was automatically restarted (by the TWSStart utility)and logged on to IB. However, only the ER2 contract data flow was restored. The YM row in TWS contained no data to the right of the contract Description.

When I saw this I restarted TWS and the YM and ER2 data flow was restored.

This appears to be a problem unchanged by switching to the latest version of TWS and Java 1.5.

Ideas warmly welcomed.
