@JanS - Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I thought I read that something like this existed, just couldn't remember where and what to look for. Looking at it now that seems so obvious! LOL. Thanks! @Acro - Thanks for the feedback. I think my TWS is keeping itself up-to-date automatically, contrary to your statement. I just checked and I have 975.3b (20 March 2019) and I did not manually update it. Maybe there's a setting to change this to manual update I just haven't changed. If so I think what I take from your comment is to do it automatically and then keep an archive of the different versions in case I need to rollback for some reason, correct? I assume you've had a need to do that then? Are you also stating that I SHOULD keep the TWS running verses using the IB Gateway as JanS and I are discussing? Sounds like IB Controller would be the way to go, but not available in the newer versions, oh well. I'll search for the TWS feature to keep me logged in, that may help. I find that I get logged out every day which is just a hassle. I understand security (being in Cybersecurity as my profession actually), but if I have other controls in place I can accept the risk of staying in at my home residence. Another reason I want to stay logged in is because I have 2-factor authentication enabled which authenticates me using an SMS Text to my phone...yet another step I have to do if I have to log in/out daily. For some reason I can't disable 2-factor (not sure i want to anyway), not sure if that's because I'm in Europe vs. the US. Anyway, thanks for your help! Randy |
