API Query

[#REF!McGrath]

In IB I have 2 accounts under the 1 user name. In the API settings i have the one socket port selected.

When I come to upload the API files I am getting an error on the second API file as both files are sharing the same port. I have tried opening a second instance of IB but still run into the socket port issue.

How do I load 2 API files from the same IB account? Or do I load orders for both accounts into the 1 API file?

You need to ensure each API instance is using a different user ID. You can choose any number between 1 and 100

Last night I received the following error in the API:

[Broker] Error: id = 76, error code = 10311, error Message = This order will be directly routed to ISLAND. Direct routed orders may result in higher trade fees. Restriction is specified in Precautionary Settings of Global Configuration/API.

In TWS API precautions i have ticked bypass order precautions for API orders. Do I also need to tick bypass redirect order warnings for stock api orders?

All orders are set to default to SMART

You should bypass all precautions.
