Randy, My two cents worth. IB keep an archive of "standalone" TWS versions. These do not update automatically to the latest TWS version. The advantages are: 1. you can verify your orders are live because of the notification - eg in the notification part of your tool bar 2. you can test the CPU usage under heavy market activity of each standalone version 3. Versions of TWS that are 973 or older can be used with IB Controller, an open source utility that you can automate including doing what you said - eg have a macro that lauches both Sierra and IB Controller/TWS that automatically logs you into IB A current problem with IB controller is that it does not seem to automatically fill in login details for the latest TWS 975. However, with TWS 975 you can change the IB settings such that if you launch and login on Sunday evening it will keep you logged in and running all week
