Here is small script which will help you in keeping tws alive throughout the week. Simply copy it in "start-up folder" and stop bitching about TWS's reboot.
Trick is very simple, it will flip the AM / PM portion of your time when popup appears.
This tweak fixes the extra ghosty click on TWS ; I call it ghosty because I could never re-produce it but very often I was finding a pending trade on my TWS (caused by an extra left click on bid/ask). Adding an extra messagebox with 10s timeout seems …
The software "TWSSTART" could also be use for the same purpose.
Main advantage: It will restart TWS automatically in the if for whatever reason it is close. Also a log is available so you may have some info if TWS fail
Are you sure about this automatic restart? As far as I know, auto login/restart is not possible anymore, since IB TWS uses a "Security Code Card" verification (which IMHO is a fantastic security layer).
