IMPORTANT NOTE:

1. Please ensure that you re-login to IB Gateway once a week, every Monday (We observe regular system maintenance by Interactive Broker during the weekend, which causes the connection to drop. The new IB rule of 2FA authentication requires the user to re-login once a week with 2FA verification)
2. Once you have given the user login to Roboray, please do not use the same credential to log in to the IB trading account (IB Traders Workstation, IBKR trading app). This will take away Roboray access and causes a connection drop.
3. Since you can only run one IB Gateway application at a time, please ensure to close any existing IB gateway application before attempting to re-login. Otherwise, it causes a stale connection and prompts an error message.
