tradingview-interactive-brokers's Issues

ib.connect() returns connect call failed error

I tried your code, with the same instructions as in the video, installed virtual environment for VS Code and WSL, ran webapp and the file, but it fails to connect. Please advise and solve the problem. This was the error message

API connection failed: ConnectionRefusedError(111, "Connect call failed ('127.0.0.1', 7497)")
Make sure API port on TWS/IBG is open

broker.py lost connection after TWS/IBGateway restarted

After TWS/IBGateway restarted, broker.py will lost connection with TWS/IBGateway api. (same IP & Port)

I have to kill broker.py and run it again to make it work.

I am not familiar with coding. Is it possible to keep connection even TWS/IBGateway restarted?

ib.run() not called

First off, thanks for sharing this Larry. This is a fun code snippet. I'm using in testing now.

For some reason, ib.run() is never executed

Disconnects w/out Notice

After long durations (~>4 hours) the code continues to run but no trades are executed. It seems IBKR is disconnecting.

Test:

• Run the code for ~>4 hours
• Close IBKR

Expected:

• Program should crash

Actual:

• IBKR disconnection is not noticed

I was able to fix this by removing the async code and then using a loop to periodically call ib.sleep() and ib.positions() on a loop. I've been unable to get ib.sleep() to work within async. I'd love to see how to remedy this.
