Hi George,



Please follow these steps, from the IBridgePy help page :

  1. Check if the correct IBridgePy version has been downloaded. (It solves most of the issues)
  2. Make sure that Anaconda is used if you are using Windows.
  3. Check if multiple Python versions have been installed. If yes, uninstall the unused python version. Or, execute RUN_ME.py using the correct Python.
If that still does not wor, please share a screenshot of the error along with the screenshot of environment details (OS name/version, Python name/version, IBridgePy version)

Hope this helps!

Hi Gaurav, 

thank you for the prompt reply 

It worked but just once . I get the situation of my account but when i run run_me again i get broker_client_factory.CallBacks:errorId=-1 errorCode=502 errorMessage=Couldn't connect to TWS.  Confirm that "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" is enabled on the TWS "Configure->API" menu.

broker_client_factory.CallBacks:EXIT IBridgePy version= 11.1.4



The activex is enabled and port is as stated in bridgepy

Hi George,



I could not replicate the issue at my end. Could you please try again and share screenshots of your application window, before and after the error. Please include the global configuration page / API Settings too. 

Thanks!
