I am getting all kinds of time out errors from IB today in the Log Viewer from strategies running in SM. I have restarted TWS and WL twice, but no change. Streaming chart is working and can chart some of these symbols. Don't know how to troubleshoot further.

No troubleshooting required. You requested "too much" data and IB cut you off.

We give IB 40 seconds to return a response. If nothing comes back, that's a time out.

Nice. That hasn't happened for a while. I'm auto running the same strategies in the SM every day. Maybe IB tightened their limits (without notice, of course)? Any idea how long they will punish me for? Will it help if deactivate my strategies for a while?

And just to do a contemporary check Are they are still the only game in town available with WL where I can get all of the following: the data I require (daily / intraday, live / historical) and functionality (get option symbols + Greeks)?

As of a few weeks ago, Tradier Build 8 can do intraday.
From a backtesting perspective, it's quite limited, but it certainly provides enough to trade with.

Backtest limited for Options, Intraday, both? It claims to support Greeks with an hourly update. Too bad their sandbox functionality is so limited. Anything else I might miss from IB?

Any idea if Tradier API is faster than IB at processing intraday data requests? Pls see new update.
