Message Codes

The TWS uses the IBApi.EWrapper.error method not only to deliver errors but also warnings or informative messages. This is done mostly for simplicity's sake. Below is a table with all the messages which can be sent by the TWS/IB Gateway. All messages delivered by the TWS are usually accompanied by a brief but meaningful description pointing in the direction of the problem.

System Message Codes

Remember that the TWS API simply connects to a running TWS/IB Gateway which most of times will be running on your local network if not in the same host as the client application. It is your responsibility to provide reliable connectivity between the TWS and your client application.

The messages in the table below are not a consequence of any action performed by the client application. They are notifications about the connectivity status between the TWS and itself and our servers. Your client application must pay special attention to them and handle the situation accordingly. You are very likely to loose connectivity to our servers at least once a day due to our daily server maintenance downtime as clearly detailed in our Current System Status page. Note that after the system reset, the TWS/IB Gateway will automatically reconnect to our servers and you can resume your operations normally.

Important: during a reset period, there may be an interruption in the ability to log in or manage orders. Existing orders (native types) will operate normally although execution reports and simulated orders will be delayed until the reset is complete. It is not recommended to operate during the scheduled reset times.

CodeTWS messageAdditional notes
1100Connectivity between IB and the TWS has been lost.Your TWS/IB Gateway has been disconnected from IB servers. This can occur because of an internet connectivity issue, a nightly reset of the IB servers, or a competing session.
1101Connectivity between IB and TWS has been restored- data lost.* The TWS/IB Gateway has successfully reconnected to IB's servers. Your market data requests have been lost and need to be re-submitted.
1102Connectivity between IB and TWS has been restored- data maintained. The TWS/IB Gateway has successfully reconnected to IB's servers. Your market data requests have been recovered and there is no need for you to re-submit them.
1300TWS socket port has been reset and this connection is being dropped. Please reconnect on the new port - <port_num>The port number in the TWS/IBG settings has been changed during an active API connection.

Warning Message Codes

CodeTWS messageAdditional notes
2100New account data requested from TWS. API client has been unsubscribed from account data. The TWS only allows one IBApi.EClient.reqAccountUpdates request at a time. If the client application attempts to subscribe to a second account without canceling the previous subscription, the new request will override the old one and the TWS will send this message notifying so.
2101Unable to subscribe to account as the following clients are subscribed to a different account. If a client application invokes IBApi.EClient.reqAccountUpdates when there is an active subscription started by a different client, the TWS will reject the new subscription request with this message.
2102Unable to modify this order as it is still being processed. If you attempt to modify an order before it gets processed by the system, the modification will be rejected. Wait until the order has been fully processed before modifying it. See Placing Orders for further details.
2103A market data farm is disconnected.Indicates a connectivity problem to an IB server. Outside of the nightly IB server reset, this typically indicates an underlying ISP connectivity issue.
2104Market data farm connection is OK A notification that connection to the market data server is ok. This is a notification and not a true error condition, and is expected on first establishing connection.
2158Sec-def data farm connection is OK A notification that connection to the Security definition data server is ok. This is a notification and not a true error condition, and is expected on first establishing connection.
2105A historical data farm is disconnected.Indicates a connectivity problem to an IB server. Outside of the nightly IB server reset, this typically indicates an underlying ISP connectivity issue.
2106A historical data farm is connected. A notification that connection to the market data server is ok. This is a notification and not a true error condition, and is expected on first establishing connection.
2107A historical data farm connection has become inactive but should be available upon demand. Whenever a connection to the historical data farm is not being used because there is not an active historical data request, the connection will go inactive in IB Gateway. This does not indicate any connectivity issue or problem with IB Gateway. As soon as a historical data request is made the status will change back to active.
2108A market data farm connection has become inactive but should be available upon demand. Whenever a connection to our data farms is not needed, it will become dormant. There is nothing abnormal nor wrong with your client application nor with the TWS. You can safely ignore this message.
2109Order Event Warning: Attribute "Outside Regular Trading Hours" is ignored based on the order type and destination. PlaceOrder is now processed.Indicates the outsideRth flag was set for an order for which there is not a regular vs outside regular trading hour distinction
2110Connectivity between TWS and server is broken. It will be restored automatically.Indicates a connectivity problem between TWS or IBG and the IB server. This will usually only occur during the IB nightly server reset; cases at other times indicate a problem in the local ISP connectivity.
2137Cross Side WarningThis warning message occurs in TWS version 955 and higher. It occurs when an order will change the position in an account from long to short or from short to long. To bypass the warning, a new feature has been added to IB Gateway 956 (or higher) and TWS 957 (or higher) so that once can go to Global Configuration > Messages and disable the "Cross Side Warning".
2168Etrade Only Not Supported Warning The EtradeOnly IBApi.Order attribute is no longer supported. Error received with TWS versions 983+. Remove attribute to place order.
2169Firm Quote Only Not Supported Warning The firmQuoteOnly IBApi.Order attribute is no longer supported. Error received with TWS versions 983+. Remove attribute to place order.

Client Error Codes

Client errors are those occurring purely on the TWS API client code and as such they are never sent by the TWS. They are mostly errors happening when validating messages before these are sent to the TWS and you are unlikely to receive the vast majority of them. As such only a small list of these errors is documented below. To see all available errors of this type please refer to the IBApi.EClientErrors class.

CodeMessageAdditional notes
501Already Connected.Your client application is already connected to the TWS.
502 Couldn't connect to TWS. Confirm that "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" is enabled and connection port is the same as "Socket Port" on the TWS "Edit->Global Configuration...->API->Settings" menu. When you receive this error message it is either because you have not enabled API connectivity in the TWS and/or you are trying to connect on the wrong port. Refer to the TWS' API Settings as explained in the error message. See also Connectivity
503The TWS is out of date and must be upgraded.Indicates TWS or IBG is too old for use with the current API version. Can also be triggered if the TWS version does not support a specific API function.
504Not connected. You are trying to perform a request without properly connecting and/or after connection to the TWS has been broken probably due to an unhandled exception within your client application.
