[R-SIG-Finance] IBrokers TWS quits daily

[Jeff Ryan]

Hi Noah,

The TWS will automatically log you out. That is the way it works. 

If you want a continuous session, try the IB Gateway. Basically a low resource GUI-less application. This will stay up for as long as you need. 

HTH

When the TWS quits, my R instance Hangs, and I need to quit R, restart TWS, restart R, re-execute my script, then re-accept the connection in TWS.  Not only is this a pain, but If the system were live, I couldn't ever miss a restart time.
