QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi,
Only one session is allowed per ib account. when live algo running, if I login this session, it will disconnect the live also session. Will live algo re-connect to IBKR automatically when running every day ? If not, could you implement this automatic connect feature ?
thanks.

Hi,
I had the same problem and didn't find an easy solution. If you log in through your mobile phone or TWS, you will stop your algo.
The only solution is to open subaccounts with separate account IDs, cash, etc.
At least. that was what I have done. But not sure if this is possible for retail traders.

On the settings page (top right under the person icon) under User & Access Rights, you can create a new user.
When deploying live, you can use that user instead of using your actual account. You won't need separate accounts (although that is still a pattern you can use if you'd like).
Users are great because you can scope their permissions down to only what you need and give them a different password than your account's main login, just like Users in IAM.
I created a user with only permissions to trade and list account details that I use specifically for live trading via QuantConnect. I use my main account for the other stuff, like tax docs, deposits/transfers, etc.
Let me know if this works for you because I just found out about it and it might be worth adding to the docs.

Thanks Mislav and AK M,
We've added this information to the IB docs here.
Best,
