Multiple clients versus only one client?

[alexpe...@gmail.com]

I am having some instability problems with my algorithm and I am wondering if this could be due to using multiple clients at the same time. I call reqMktData as well as reqHistoricalData on 20 different forex pairs, each pair running on its own client. Therefore a total of 20 clients alive 24/24. Would it change anything having only one client calling reqMktData and reqHistoricalData 20 times instead of having 20 clients each calling the methods only once? Any thoughts?

I'm getting the same issue - did you find a solution? Thanks.

With the new official python api, you can go up to 32 clients. But I thought the old api/ibpy had a limit of 8 mentioned in the old documentation or somewhere. I cant find the olds docs, but I wonder if dropping the number of clients would help solve issues as you already suggested.
