java - 盈透证券 API : Trader Workstation (TWS) vs IB Gateway

Question

在https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=5041&ns=T据记载，为了使用 IB api，您必须通过 TWS 或 IB 网关连接到它。

Our API requires connectivity via Trader Workstation (TWS) or IB Gateway.

各自的优势是什么？哪种解决方案(网关或 TWS)提供更好的性能？

Answer 1

Gateway 没有 TWS 的 GUI，但提供相同的 API。

IB writes about the performance:

The IB Gateway provides a low-resource alternative to TWS for connecting to the IB trading system via the API. The gateway uses approximately 40% fewer system resources than TWS. However, the gateway is GUI-less, which means that you cannot view the API activity as you can when running TWS.

它还有一个关于TWS自动注销的优势:

according to "Dmitry’s TWS API FAQ":

You can also use IB Gateway which is essentially a striped down version of TWS. Unlike TWS, IB Gateway will try to maintain a connection to IB for much longer than 24 hours. There is no guarantee that IB Gateway will keep the connection up for more than a week but this does happen.

如果您在开发或部署应用程序时不需要交易平台的完整 GUI，请使用网关。它以更少的开销提供相同的 API 功能。
