tws <- twsConnect() just hangs often #28

Description

I run Ibrokers with the latest verison of TWS and the API on windows. While occasionally it connects, in most cases just hangs after tws <- twsConnect() (Port, host, client id etc. are all default values, and moreover it works every 10th time or so). Even with timeout set or verbose, no output is shown, no log file create in thh TWS folder. Also, is there a rule if you should start TWS before or after R? But in either case, only works randomly for me.

How is the timeout set for the connection?

yeh thought this hsould fix it but timeout doesn change behavior at all tws <- twsConnect(verbose = T, timeout = 1)

also hangs indefinitively.

I'm not able to replicate this on my machines. I doubt it is something specific to the IBrokers package.

It would help to have your sessionInfo() output. That would give more information about your OS and environment.

One idea to try: turn off any firewalls you have running. And/or see if there's a way to trust all local connections. It might be an issue with your computer's internet settings.

well this could be it due to an ad blocker! Thanks!
