Hi QC staff,
I've ported my algorithm from Quantopian and was disappointed to see QC asking to partially opt out of IB's SLS in order to live trade. Yes I understand an attacker won't have access to account management, blah blah blah. That's poor security for a company needing access to a very large amount of my money. Quantpian worked with SLS to make the IB gateway connection. Yes, in the rare case a machine was rebooted we had to reenter our account credentails.
It further looks like IB has developed Web trading API this year that supports OAuth. See https://www.interactivebrokers.com/download/03-IB17-1071-API.pdf and https://www.interactivebrokers.com/webtradingapi/
Q. What's the timeline for live trading that either uses OAuth or doesn't require SLS opt-out?

The oAuth API doesn't have streaming web sockets and isn't suitable for QuantConnect. In the near future there's no plans to change that as we have more pressing features / developments.
