Hi,

MT seems to be causing TWS to pop in front of everything else and take focus.  So if you are typing in MT (or any other application), TWS pops in front of everything else and now you are typing in TWS.  I have been working with IB on this for a few days.

Thanks

dont know then. if MT is just sitting there getting data from TWS, it can't do anything to cause other windows to come to front. If you are doing trading, I can see maybe if TWS is doing a notification, where it gets focus.

OK, that is the cause. MT tries to connect every few minutes, which is probably why the focus thing occurs. 

You have that account selected in one of the open windows - maybe trading on chart or something like that?

I closed everything but one chart and one portfolio.  The portfolio is getting data from TDAmeritrade and I disabled chart trading.  I also disabled the account not in use.  It still occurs.  It makes MT unusable.

ok, then I wouldn't expect any change either. you have that account selected somewhere. Until it is unselected and MT is restarted, you are going to continue having problems. If you cannot find it, send me your settings.
