ib gateway test account auto logout everyday

[Sir Zhang]

I register a test account , and use ib gateway .

but the ib gateway logout itself everyday.

it make my strategy can't execute without man monitoring.

any one who use the gateway logout itself? any else setting or some wrong with my test account?

TWS and the Gateway have the Auto Exit options that triggers every 24 hours, There used to be a config file hack to handle this but the new versions of TWS doesn't allow invalid times. 

I have read people use IB Controller or TWSStart to handle systematic trading 24/5, useful for forex, but I have not yet attempted to use these.
