As you can see status is green, but no port is open or data sent/recieved. I've tested restart during market hours and outside. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Adam Attached Files

You must manually close and restart the gateway on any weekend. Zorro needs not be restarted, but the current gateway version won't recover properly from its automated shutdown.

I have to manually stop/start zorro trading after every auto gateway restart. I've tried multiple strategies and they are all the same. None of them reopen a port in the gateway. Adam

Its happening with both the gateway and TWS. I've looked at the logs, but nothing there. A "client" tab isn't opened either. I'll turn on verbose logging and check it.

Shutdown requires manually closing and opening the gateway. Zorro can reconnect automatically, you can even set BarMode to let it explicitly disconnect and re-connect, but it won't help. After a shutdown, the gateway is in a state that it does not accept API connections. Only closing it solves that. I hope that this behavior changes with a new gateway version, but so far, all versions behave this way.

I know the weekly restart/shutdown is different. Any thoughts on why it won't reconnect? I can add a video if that helps. The zorro log just shows it isn't restablishing a connection. ¯\_(?)_/¯ I'll try BarMode to force reconnection and set StartDate to NOW, so I don't keep missing trades.
