Post From: Interactive Brokers Connection & Order Routing Problems

Interesting. Yeah, I use 2 instances of SC: 1 for IB, another for Futures. For the IB I use SC's live equities datafeed (NYSE/NQ/AMEX feed). I don't care about Level II in IB for stocks (I do pay for Level II options etc.). If the statement that "IB uses a single connection for Data Feeds and Order Routing" is true, then when IB market data is down, then no orders are routed. However, I remember a few instances in TWS where I'd get market data down, but still be able to execute (edit: thanks User379468 for seemingly clarifying this! and yes, if differentiating between "SC -> IB connected and SC -> IB's trading connection lost" could be implemented, COOL!). Maybe there was a timing issue with the system status delaying connectivity, and in that situation market data really was active but the system was just slow in telling me it was back online? This is something I'd want to be sure of since if IB's data went down, and I still could enter orders, then that provides some redundancy since I use Barcharts datafeed (SC's data) which I find does not have intermittency issues. It's pretty hard to feel confident entering orders with a datafeed that is intermittent all the time like GFIS. On the theme, thanks! I use Windows 10. I also have a dedicated rig.
