Cannot connect to TWS/ IB Gateway on GCP

[MarioMZhang]

Hi there,

I'm working on google cloud and got this error when connecting


I had the global configuration set on localhost:6080

from the docker's log, i feel like I can connect to the API port

there is no connection refused log as in #16

Could anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Have you forwarded the ports in docker-compose.yml?

Have you forwarded the ports in docker-compose.yml?

Thanks for the reply!
do you mean forwarding port 4002 or 7497? do we have a pointer to forward ports?
And I had put 127.0.0.1 into trusted IP in the setting
here is my compose.yml

Have you forwarded the ports in docker-compose.yml?

are we supposed to use app.connect('127.0.0.1',8888,xxx). I feel like I misunderstood the readme

Hi @extrange ,
after changing the port to 8888, I was able to connect, but not sure if it's the right way to do so. if so, how do I know if I'm on live or paper mode? Thanks!

That's correct, port 8888 is where the TWS API is being exposed.

You can set the mode with the variable IBC_TradingMode (default live).
