IBKR - Interactivebrokers.com - API connection help for existing Python Algo Trader

Summary

Help me solve connectivity issues with IBKR api. (I also have a bunch more work like this for someone who can do this project masterfully) Summary: I have a python automated trading test application I built to experiment with. It successfully executes trades on interactive brokers, but I am encountering a lot of connectivity issues/errors, so I created this project to get help. Should be simple for someone who has done this before. More details: My trading engine holds a live socket to Interactive Brokers (IB Gateway / TWS). Throughout the session the connection suffers repeated drops and silent feed failures. The engine does not reliably detect these, so it continues trading on stale data — producing corrupted, double, and zero-fill trades. I need a programmer to rebuild the broker-connection layer for resilience. I am currently using ib_async 2.1.0 (I started with ib_insync` **0.9.86) but I am open to any robust solution I've tried using claude opus 4.8 to sort it out to no avail. The budget includes a $100 bonus if you complete the work before 10pm Sunday 6/28 (new york time) If not completed before then the budget drops to $150 Due to intellectual property concerns I will not be able to provide my code. What I am asking you to do is create a bilateral "IBKR connection bridge" - or propose an alternate plan. and include instructions I can relay to claude opus 4.8 to modify the existing code to talk to your "bridge" to ensure the response is human create I want you to make the first character in your proposal a squirrel emoji, or the word SqUiRR3L see the pdf for more details - but please you are the expert and if you don't like the ideas in the pdf, we are open to your ideas. The only thing we care about is that our software must work smoothly without errors. our positons are ALWAYS buy to open and sell to close calls and puts options (long options only). we read underlying stock data, and options chain data by (OPRA) out of interactive brokers. Payment will be made in full after the software is confirmed to work error free using my paper trading account on interactive brokers from market open to market close. We are located in the USA and this is a work for hire under us copyright law.
