24h data stream from IB, connection problems

bb2

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?
