Post From: Is it possible to use IB Gateway instead of IB TWS?

Thanks to this thread I got things to work very nicely.

Here is what I did:
-Start IB Gateway, choose IB API, Login
-Go to Configure/Settings/API: make a note of the 'Socket port' (in my case 4001)

In Sierra Chart
- Go to Global settings/Trade Service Settings
- in the server field changed 7496 to 4001 (the port number I found above)
- enter username and password
- ticked the 'connect on program startup'
- clicked OK

That's it.
