The inverse of create_new_connections(). Will close and remove IB socket connections as directed.

disconnect(
  number_to_disconnect = "all",
  disconnect_master = FALSE,
  disconnect_tws = FALSE
)

Arguments

number_to_disconnect

Integer. Total number of sockets to disconnect, including Master and TWS connections if included.

disconnect_master

Boolean, default FALSE. If TRUE, then the master_client_idMaster Client Socket will be disconnected if it exists.

disconnect_tws

Boolean, default FALSE. If TRUE, then the client_id_0TWS Socket will be disconnected if it exists.

Examples

# Creating and Disconnecting IB Sockets # The following example walks you through creating and disconnecting the three # kinds of async socks: Master, TWS, and general. After each step, socks() is # called to view the current connected sockets so that you can observe what's # been created / disconnected. # As you go through this example yourself, remember that it's helpful to use the # "connections" window in the Interactive Brokers apps. In IB Gateway, you can # easily see connections from the default window; in TWS, it can be accessed by # clicking on the "DATA" text in the upper right-hand corner of the user # interface window of the app. # Disconnect all sockets that might exist so that we start with a clean slate. disconnect()
