24h data stream from IB, connection problems


  • Hello,

    As I have partially posted on other threads, I have been testing the connection between IB and bt and want to assure 24h data stream. For that, I have been using ibtest.py and running it with ibtest.py --port 4002 --data0 EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO --data1 USD.JPY-CASH-IDEALPRO --resample --timeframe Seconds --compression 5 --broker --trade --stake 50000

    After IB server restart, bt connection to IB gateway is established ( or maybe not but at least IB gateway still shows 1 connected client) but there is no data stream anymore. I would like to find out if this is an already existing problem, if yes, is there any workaround for this.

    I have been doing this test with my paper trading account.

    I presume the problem is due to IB server restart since this occurs mostly in IB server restart times. ( around 04:35 UTC ).

  • have tested this time with IB's Europe server instead of America. Still same results.

  • Has anyone ever managed to run backtrader with IB 24h without any data streaming issues as described here?
