I just managed to launch the app through the TWSStart.
I just want to add one additional detail taht caused me to lose 2 hours.
When the TWSStart attempts to launch the IB Gateway, in my case, I was prompted for security code.
This caused a bug for the TWSStart to not recognize once you login (icon keeps flashing even after you login).
I assume this bug prevents the TWSStart to automatically load the external program.
I also had to change the title in the external program to "IB Trader worsktation".
After I did login with the security code, I had to go to "external programs" within TWSStart and manually right click -> run in order fot the app to run.
Then once I did that Iwent and started NT and connected as per the instructions.
Despite the slight troubles, I want to thank to the creator.
Has anyone been using this connection consistently? Any feedback on how reliable it is?
I am asking because 90% of my automated strategies are based on swing trading and want to be sure I am making the best possible choice before I lose valuable data.
Thanks.
