I have LEAN installed on my system and changed config.json in the following way in oder to enable live trading with IB:

"environment": "live-interactive",



  // interactive brokers configuration

  "ib-account": "DUXXXXXX",

  "ib-user-name": "myusername",

  "ib-password": "mypsw",

  "ib-host": "127.0.0.1",

  "ib-port": "4002", 

  "ib-agent-description": "Individual",

  "ib-tws-dir": "C:\\Jts",

  "ib-trading-mode": "paper",

  "ib-enable-delayed-streaming-data": true,

The connection is not established with messages:

I am really stuck with this. Could anybody point me what may be wrong. Thank you

Hi landc34 ,

Could you please add more logging information?
We don't see any log output for IBAutomater which is important to understand the issue.

Michael Manus

because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:4002.

wrong port or API connections not allowed?

Landc34

485 ,

Oh, yes, Michael. It's connected after I start TWS, wrote in config.json the same port as at the "Global Settings"=> API=>"Socket port", than restart LEAN.
Is it any way to connect IB without preliminary starting TWS? Any other options how to connect to the account?

Alexandre Catarino

Hi Micheal,
We cannot really help with incomplete information...

Hi landc34
TWS is no longer supported with IBAutomater, only IBGateway (offline version)
Lean makes all the work, you just need to run it.

Dear Alexandre.
Unfortunately, there is no other things in the log that can help identify the problem. I debugged the code. Ok. I'll copy the full log at the end of this message. (That is after just starting Lean Launcher with configuration above, no TWS in background)
I was able to connect live data only after starting TWS and writing the same port. Agree, it's not convinient... If there is any other way to do live trading with IB, I will be very appriciate if you point me to documentation. Did I changed config.json properly? Why it is not working?

I tried with IBGateway. The behavious is the same as with TWS. If I start IBGateway and login before launching LEAN, the connection is established. If I start just LEAN launcher, nothin happens, it does not start IBGateway. The log below, looks the same. Is it expected behavious? If no, what can be the reason? JTS folder in config is correct.

I was getting a similar error. On debugging i found that config.json present in Launcher project was missing in Toolbox project.

I copied it to the bin folder of toolbox project and all works for me now. I have added a post build event to my Toolbox project - xcopy /Y "$(SolutionDir)Launcher\config.json" "$(SolutionDir)ToolBox\bin\Debug". This will automatically copy the file.
