Live algo keeps disconnecting and asking for broker login

I have a live algo connected to IB and during the last few days, the algo keeps disconnecting and asking for broker login at the start of the day. Any reasons for why the algo is disconnecting and requesting credentials again?

Are you using a 2nd user login for your IB? You can't login to your IB account using the same credentials as your algo is setup with.

You need to create a 2nd user and use that to login to your IB while your algo is hooked up. Otherwise it will keep disconnecting your algo.
