Interactive Brokers Error message

[khoga]

Hello,

I'm able to connect to IB's platform, both Gateway and TWS, but almost immediately am disconnected by IB due to a "Max Rate of Messages per Second has been exceeded" error.

It looks like, from the logs, that NT is constantly asking for account updates, which should be fine, but I know that IB has some funky thresholds on messaging.

I've updated both IB and NT to ensure it wasn't a version problem.

What's going on here? I've finally polished my strategies to the point that I'd like to see some pseudo-live results, but I can' stay connected to the broker. That makes me REALLY nervous about trusting it with a live account - will I need to sit here and monitor NT all day long every day, since it can't reconnect and gets booted from IB??
