Subject : RE: Use a 2nd IB Userid to trade/monitor your acct
Posted : 6/9/2013 8:50 PM
Post #25993 - In reply to #25066
Algo: You do not need data subscriptions from IB to run TP (or at least I have been running that way for a month or so).
Caveats:
- I'm only running in a paper account right now, so...
- You cannot do any of the things Wes mentioned with stops, reviewing charts in TWS, etc.
I think you might get delayed, Daily bars only without a data subscription.

I've ignored the TWS interface since starting to use the IB Gateway API on a cloud based server to run TP 7/24 and I shut off my data subscriptions due to TWS resources, etc., but Wes' research has made me curious to take a look at the tandem API/TWS set up. TWS is a powerful interface. Thanks Wes for the suggestion/research.
