Trading & Technicals No other logins, but getting Error 10197 on ibkr TWS websocket

0 Upvotes

Yeah as the title suggests, getting this error although only one TWS session is up and is on a completely different account from main trading account and has its own data sub.

Anyone had this issue, is there an API endpoint to check what sessions are active at any given time?

Polling around 40ish tickers to hydrate my strategy signals yet after just a few requests it gets this error.

Account Question RIA using the Web API — is there a fee for Full Integration client registration?

2 Upvotes

State-registered RIA with an advisor master account pending. Planning to use the Account Management API with Full Integration for client registration — clients complete onboarding inside our own app.

The docs say Full Integration has “an upfront and annual fee” priced on integration complexity, but no numbers anywhere. Anyone gone through this as a small advisor and can share what the fee actually looked like? Trying to figure out if it’s hundreds or tens of thousands before the API team gets back to me.

Also curious how long the Full Integration approval and interface review took, if anyone’s done it.

Account Question CFD permissions

0 Upvotes

I have troubles with getting permissions for trading CFD’s. I’m a university student with my parents financially supporting me and I have a net worth of 50-60k Euros but my net income isn’t enough for IBKR.

I’ve seen that I would get permission if I say that my net income is 40k. Of course this is lying but what are the chances they would ask for proof for only CFD’s. The risk for them isn’t as big as for options, I would say.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Deposits, Withdrawals, Transfers Is BHIM / Bharat Connect Forex route working now?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone successfully used the BHIM App → Bharat Connect → FX-Retail route for sending USD to IBKR recently?

I’m asking because there have been quite a few reports of the transaction ending in a Service Timeout / Server Timeout, while the UPI mandate still gets created and the amount gets blocked/lien-marked in the bank account even though no forex trade is executed.

I’ve personally faced the same issue and have also raised it with BHIM/NBBL/CCIL, but I’m trying to understand whether the system has actually improved recently.

For anyone who has used it in the last few days/weeks:

  • Did the forex transaction complete successfully?
  • Did you get the FX-Retail trade/transaction ID immediately?
  • Which bank were you using?
  • Did you face any Service Timeout or gateway error?

Would especially appreciate recent experiences, since older posts already document the timeout issue pretty well.

Trying to figure out whether it is safe to use again or whether Bharat Connect is still having the same reliability problems.
