About to give up on the gateway approach - trades/account status don't work

[secbitchris]

Hi, using ib_async with this.

I have never successfully managed to get it to read any account data whasoever. All market price data works fine, sees my subscription, lets me pull price data from anything, historical too.

However, there is zero ability whatsoever for this setup to see any actual account data. If I switch to a simple ibapi python script pointed at the Trader Workstation software over 7496, it works, even got it to take a trade.

But using this? Impossible.

What am I doing wrong? Is there anyone out there who has gotten a setup involving this container gateway thing to actually take trades, see account value, buying power, etc?

i'm using ib_async, and i can confirm that "account data" works fine. there are several methods to get account data, so i tested a few and everything looks fine.

I don't see how this can be related to this docker container. i see that there is an open discussion ib-api-reloaded/ib_async#148 on ib_async, so i would recomend to keep the discussion over there.

I have tried every single thing in there. Nothing works. I got it to work using standard TWS. Every single attempt to read any account data at all results in a 321 error. The moment I switch to using the TWS workstation over 7496 everything magically works.
