Pre-open Re-route setting / Ignore opening auction setting

[peebeejay]

Hey - I'm trying to configure gateway such that it's able to route orders to non primary exchanges prior to the opening cross executing on the primary exchange (NYSE usually). For context, at times DMMs don't manually open trading (via the opening cross) at the NYSE until after 9:35 if imbalances are large.

To do so requires me to update a setting - See here; the Pre-Open Re-route setting specifically, which seems to be set in the settings for gateway / tws. Slightly more info. Alternatively, I could use the Ignore opening auction setting too, which would have to be changed in the same way.

Do you know of a straightforward way I can toggle this setting with this docker image? Or will it take some work?

My guess is that I provide a custom config for jst.ini, but I'm unsure what param options even exist or where that documentation even lives. Any help would be much appreciated.

you can set a volume

    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/tws_settings/:${TWS_SETTINGS_PATH:-/home/ibgateway/Jts}

that will keep your settings. the sample docker compose files have a volume as example

you will need to start ibgateway/TWS connect through VNC/rdesktop set it manually, and that's it it's in your settings.

Amazing thank you.

So essentially I open it up manually once, set that setting, and then include an arg for volumes like above and I'm good?
