I have two IB accounts running WL on two separate machines. They are running identical scripts but occasionally one (the one connected to the US Central Time IB data farm) takes a trade that the other misses (this one is connected to the IB EU data farm.)
I've looked at all other possible discrepancies I can think of, so I'd ideally like to try switching the account on the EU data farm to the US Central Time one. I've looked at endless posts about jts.ini but drawn a blank so far.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do? Or is it a case of calling IB and asking them to change it? Thx
Many thanks

When you launch TWS, click More Options and select the Region. That's your only option.
However, if you use Streaming Bars in the Strategy Monitor (instead of Streaming or Streaming Charts), you should get identical trades because the data will be identical.
IB Streaming is sampled only about 4 times per second - you don't get all the ticks, so the bars formed by streaming will vary.
