Hi Garrett,
Gateway connects fine to the IB server. However, I have a problem
connecting IBrokers to Gateway.
The error message for *Gateway* is the same as when I forget to click
"Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" in the *TWS* settings. But in
Gateway I cannot find such a setting.
> tws <- twsConnect()
Error in socketConnection(host = host, port = port, open = "ab",
blocking = blocking) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In socketConnection(host = host, port = port, open = "ab", blocking =
blocking) :
localhost:7496 cannot be opened
Do you use any special settings for Gateway?
Thanks,
M
