I received a notice from IB about a change with regard to the API.

I am no longer able to connect to Interactive Brokers.

How do I connect my IB account to SC?

Thanks, Ken

With the latest release, they turned off the option for "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients". You just need to re-enable the option in TWS. Refer to Step #5 at the following link:
