+running ``ib`` gateway in ``docker``
+------------------------------------
+We have a config based on the (now defunct)
+image from "waytrade":
+
+https://github.com/waytrade/ib-gateway-docker
+
+To startup this image with our custom settings
+simply run the command::
+
+    docker compose up
+
+And you should have the following socket-available services:
+
+- ``x11vnc1@127.0.0.1:3003``
+- ``ib-gw@127.0.0.1:4002``
+
+You can attach to the container via a VNC client
+without password auth.
+
+SECURITY STUFF!?!?!
+-------------------
+Though "``ib``" claims they host filter connections outside
+localhost (aka ``127.0.0.1``) it's probably better if you filter
+the socket at the OS level using a stateless firewall rule::
+
+    ip rule add not unicast iif lo to 0.0.0.0/0 dport 4002
+
+We will soon have this baked into our own custom image but for
+now you'll have to do it urself dawgy.

+# If you have enabled more than one second factor authentication
+# device, TWS presents a list from which you must select the device
+# you want to use for this login. You can use this setting to
+# instruct IBC to select a particular item in the list on your
+# behalf. Note that you must spell this value exactly as it appears
+# in the list. If no value is set, you must manually select the
+# relevant list entry.

+# can then be made to automatically restart IBC in order to initiate
+# the login sequence afresh. Otherwise, manual intervention at TWS's
+# Second Factor Authentication dialog is needed to complete the
+# login.
+#
+# Permitted values are 'yes' and 'no'. The default is 'no'.

+# Linux provide options to automatically restart in these
+# circumstances, but only if this setting is also set to 'yes'.

+#
+# It is recommended for clarity that you use an absolute path. The
+# effect of using a relative path is undefined.
+#
+# Linux and macOS users should use the appropriate path syntax.
+#
+# Note that, for Windows users, you MUST use double separator
+# characters to separate the elements of the folder path: for
+# example, IbDir=C:\\IBLiveSettings is valid, but
+# IbDir=C:\IBLiveSettings is NOT valid and will give unexpected
+# results. Linux and macOS users need not use double separators,
+# but they are acceptable.

+
+# Store settings on server
+# ------------------------
+#
+# If you wish to store a copy of your TWS settings on IB's
+# servers as well as locally on your computer, set this to
+# 'yes': this enables you to run TWS on different computers
+# with the same configuration, market data lines, etc. If set
+# to 'no', running TWS on different computers will not share the

+# Existing Session Detected Action
+# --------------------------------
+#
+# When a user logs on to an IBKR account for trading purposes by any means, the
+# IBKR account server checks to see whether the account is already logged in
+# elsewhere. If so, a dialog is displayed to both the users that enables them
+# to determine what happens next. The 'ExistingSessionDetectedAction' setting
+# instructs TWS how to proceed when it displays this dialog:
+#
+#   * If the new TWS session is set to 'secondary', the existing session continues
+#     and the new session terminates. Thus a secondary TWS session can never
+#     override any other session.
+#
+#   * If the existing TWS session is set to 'primary', the existing session
+#     continues and the new session terminates (even if the new session is also
+#     set to primary). Thus a primary TWS session can never be overridden by
+#     any new session).
+#
+#   * If both the existing and the new TWS sessions are set to 'primaryoverride',
+#     the existing session terminates and the new session proceeds.
+#
+#   * If the existing TWS session is set to 'manual', the user must handle the
+#     dialog.
+#
+# The difference between 'primary' and 'primaryoverride' is that a
+# 'primaryoverride' session can be overriden over by a new 'primary' session,
+# but a 'primary' session cannot be overriden by any other session.
+#
+# When set to 'primary', if another TWS session is started and manually told to
+# end the 'primary' session, the 'primary' session is automatically reconnected.
+#
+# The default is 'manual'.
+
+ExistingSessionDetectedAction=primary
+
+
+# Override TWS API Port Number
+# ----------------------------
+#
+# If OverrideTwsApiPort is set to an integer, IBC changes the
+# 'Socket port' in TWS's API configuration to that number shortly
+# after startup. Leaving the setting blank will make no change to
+# the current setting. This setting is only intended for use in
+# certain specialized situations where the port number needs to
+# be set dynamically at run-time: most users will never need it,
+# so don't use it unless you know you need it.
+
+OverrideTwsApiPort=4002
+
+
+# Read-only Login
+# ---------------
+#
+# If ReadOnlyLogin is set to 'yes', and the user is enrolled in IB's
+# account security programme, the user will not be asked to perform
+# the second factor authentication action, and login to TWS will
+# occur automatically in read-only mode: in this mode, placing or
+# managing orders is not allowed. If set to 'no', and the user is
+# enrolled in IB's account security programme, the user must perform
+# the relevant second factor authentication action to complete the
+# login. 
+
+# If the user is not enrolled in IB's account security programme,
+# this setting is ignored. The default is 'no'.
+
+ReadOnlyLogin=no
+
+
+# Read-only API
+# -------------
+#
+# If ReadOnlyApi is set to 'yes', API programs cannot submit, modify
+# or cancel orders. If set to 'no', API programs can do these things.
+# If not set, the existing TWS/Gateway configuration is unchanged.
+# NB: this setting is really only supplied for the benefit of new TWS
+# or Gateway instances that are being automatically installed and
+# started without user intervention (eg Docker containers). Where
+# a user is involved, they should use the Global Configuration to
+# set the relevant checkbox (this only needs to be done once) and
+# not provide a value for this setting.
+
+ReadOnlyApi=no
+
+
+# Market data size for US stocks - lots or shares
+# -----------------------------------------------
+#
+# Since IB introduced the option of market data for US stocks showing
+# bid, ask and last sizes in shares rather than lots, TWS and Gateway
+# display a dialog immediately after login notifying the user about
+# this and requiring user input before allowing market data to be
+# accessed. The user can request that the dialog not be shown again.
+#
+# It is recommended that the user should handle this dialog manually
+# rather than using these settings, which are provided for situations 
+# where the user interface is not easily accessible, or where user
+# settings are not preserved between sessions (eg some Docker images).
+#
+# - If this setting is set to 'accept', the dialog will be handled
+#   automatically and the option to not show it again will be
+#   selected.
+#
+#   Note that in this case, the only way to allow the dialog to be
+#   displayed again is to manually enable the 'Bid, Ask and Last
+#   Size Display Update' message in the 'Messages' section of the TWS
+#   configuration dialog. So you should only use 'Accept' if you are
+#   sure you really don't want the dialog to be displayed again, or
+#   you have easy access to the user interface.
+#
+# - If set to 'defer', the dialog will be handled automatically (so
+#   that market data will start), but the option to not show it again
+#   will not be selected, and it will be shown again after the next
+#   login.
+#
+# - If set to 'ignore', the user has to deal with the dialog manually.
+#
+# The default value is 'ignore'.
+#
+# Note if set to 'accept' or 'defer', TWS also automatically sets
+# the API settings checkbox labelled 'Send market data in lots for
+# US stocks for dual-mode API clients'. IBC cannot prevent this.
+# However you can change this immmediately by setting
+# SendMarketDataInLotsForUSstocks (see below) to 'no' .
+
+AcceptBidAskLastSizeDisplayUpdateNotification=accept
+
+
+# This setting determines whether the API settings checkbox labelled
+# 'Send market data in lots for US stocks for dual-mode API clients'

+# 4.   TWS Auto-Closedown
+# =============================================================================
+#
+# IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting with TWS 974, this setting no longer
+# works properly, because IB have changed the way TWS handles its
+# autologoff mechanism. 
+#
+# You should now configure the TWS autologoff time to something
+# convenient for you, and restart IBC each day.
+#
+# Alternatively, discontinue use of IBC and use the auto-relogin
+# mechanism within TWS 974 and later versions (note that the 
+# auto-relogin mechanism provided by IB is not available if you
+# use IBC).
+
+# Set to yes or no (lower case).
+#
+#   yes   means allow TWS to shut down automatically at its
+# 	  specified shutdown time, which is set via the TWS
+#	  configuration menu.
+#
+#   no    means TWS never shuts down automatically.
+#
+# NB: IB recommends that you do not keep TWS running
+# continuously. If you set this setting to 'no', you may
+# experience incorrect TWS operation.
+#
+# NB: the default for this setting is 'no'. Since this will
+# only work properly with TWS versions earlier than 974, you
+# should explicitly set this to 'yes' for version 974 and later.
+
+IbAutoClosedown=yes
+
+
+
+# =============================================================================
+# 5.   TWS Tidy Closedown Time
+# =============================================================================
+#
+# NB: starting with TWS 974 this is no longer a useful option
+# because both TWS and Gateway now have the same auto-logoff
+# mechanism, and IBC can no longer avoid this.
+#
+# Note that giving this setting a value does not change TWS's
+# auto-logoff in any way: any setting will be additional to the
+# TWS auto-logoff.
+#
+# To tell IBC to tidily close TWS at a specified time every
+# day, set this value to <hh:mm>, for example:
+# ClosedownAt=22:00
+#
+# To tell IBC to tidily close TWS at a specified day and time
+# each week, set this value to <dayOfWeek hh:mm>, for example:
+# ClosedownAt=Friday 22:00
+#
+# Note that the day of the week must be specified using your
+# default locale. Also note that Java will only accept
+# characters encoded to ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1). This means that
+# if the day name in your default locale uses any non-Latin-1
+# characters you need to encode them using Unicode escapes
+# (see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.3
+# for details). For example, to tidily close TWS at 12:00 on
+# Saturday where the default locale is Simplified Chinese,
+# use the following:
+# #ClosedownAt=\u661F\u671F\u516D 12:00
+
+ClosedownAt=

+
+# Accept Incoming Connection
+# --------------------------
+#
+# If set to 'accept', IBC automatically accepts incoming
+# API connection dialogs. If set to 'reject', IBC
+# automatically rejects incoming API connection dialogs. If
+# set to 'manual', the user must decide whether to accept or reject
+# incoming API connection dialogs. The default is 'manual'.
+# NB: it is recommended to set this to 'reject', and to explicitly
+# configure which IP addresses can connect to the API in TWS's API
+# configuration page, as this is much more secure (in this case, no
+# incoming API connection dialogs will occur for those IP addresses).
+
+AcceptIncomingConnectionAction=reject
+
+
+# Allow Blind Trading
+# -------------------
+#
+# If you attempt to place an order for a contract for which
+# you have no market data subscription, TWS displays a dialog
+# to warn you against such blind trading.
+#
+#   yes   means the dialog is dismissed as though the user had
+# 	  clicked the 'Ok' button: this means that you accept
+# 	  the risk and want the order to be submitted.
+#
+#   no    means the dialog remains on display and must be
+#         handled by the user.
+
+AllowBlindTrading=yes
+
+
+# Save Settings on a Schedule
+# ---------------------------
+#
+# You can tell TWS to automatically save its settings on a schedule
+# of your choosing. You can specify one or more specific times,
+# like this:
+#
+# SaveTwsSettingsAt=HH:MM [ HH:MM]...
+#
+# for example:
+# SaveTwsSettingsAt=08:00   12:30 17:30
+#
+# Or you can specify an interval at which settings are to be saved,
+# optionally starting at a specific time and continuing until another
+# time, like this:
+#
+#SaveTwsSettingsAt=Every n [{mins | hours}] [hh:mm] [hh:mm]
+#

+# 7.   Settings Specific to Indian Versions of TWS
+# =============================================================================
+
+# Indian versions of TWS may display a password expiry
+# notification dialog and a NSE Compliance dialog. These can be
+# dismissed by setting the following to yes. By default the
+# password expiry notice is not dismissed, but the NSE Compliance
+# notice is dismissed.
+
+# Warning: setting DismissPasswordExpiryWarning=yes will mean
+# you will not be notified when your password is about to expire.
+# You must then take other measures to ensure that your password
+# is changed within the expiry period, otherwise IBC will
+# not be able to login successfully.
+
+DismissPasswordExpiryWarning=no
+DismissNSEComplianceNotice=yes
+
+
+
+# =============================================================================
+# 8.   IBC Command Server Settings
+# =============================================================================
+
+# Do NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS unless you
+# intend to issue commands to IBC (for example
+# using telnet). Note that these settings have nothing to
+# do with running programs that use the TWS API.
+
+# Command Server Port Number
+# --------------------------
+#
+# The port number that IBC listens on for commands
+# such as "STOP". DO NOT set this to the port number
+# used for TWS API connections. There is no good reason
+# to change this setting unless the port is used by
+# some other application (typically another instance of
+# IBC). The default value is 0, which tells IBC not to
+# start the command server
+
+#CommandServerPort=7462
+
+
+# Permitted Command Sources
+# -------------------------
+#
+# A comma separated list of IP addresses, or host names,
+# which are allowed addresses for sending commands to
+# IBC.  Commands can always be sent from the
+# same host as IBC is running on.
+
+ControlFrom=127.0.0.1
+
+
+# Address for Receiving Commands
+# ------------------------------
+#
+# Specifies the IP address on which the Command Server
+# is so listen. For a multi-homed host, this can be used
+# to specify that connection requests are only to be
+# accepted on the specified address. The default is to
+# accept connection requests on all local addresses.
+
+BindAddress=127.0.0.1
+
+
+# Command Prompt
+# --------------
+#
+# The specified string is output by the server when
+# the connection is first opened and after the completion
+# of each command. This can be useful if sending commands
+# using an interactive program such as telnet. The default
+# is that no prompt is output.
+# For example:
+#
+# CommandPrompt=>
+
+CommandPrompt=
+
+
+# Suppress Command Server Info Messages
+# -------------------------------------
+#
+# Some commands can return intermediate information about
+# their progress. This setting controls whether such
+# information is sent. The default is that such information
+# is not sent.
+
+SuppressInfoMessages=no
+
+
+
+# =============================================================================
+# 9.   Diagnostic Settings
+# =============================================================================
+#
+# IBC can log information about the structure of windows
+# displayed by TWS. This information is useful when adding
+# new features to IBC or when behaviour is not as expected. 
+#
+# The logged information shows the hierarchical organisation
+# of all the components of the window, and includes the
+# current values of text boxes and labels.
+#
+# Note that this structure logging has a small performance
+# impact, and depending on the settings can cause the logfile
+# size to be significantly increased. It is therefore
+# recommended that the LogStructureWhen setting be set to
+# 'never' (the default) unless there is a specific reason
+# that this information is needed.
+
+
+# Scope of Structure Logging
+# --------------------------
+#
+# The LogStructureScope setting indicates which windows are
+# eligible for structure logging:
+#
+#    - if set to 'known', only windows that IBC recognizes
+#      are eligible - these are windows that IBC has some
+#      interest in monitoring, usually to take some action
+#      on the user's behalf;
+#
+#    - if set to 'unknown', only windows that IBC does not
+#      recognize are eligible. Most windows displayed by
+#      TWS fall into this category;
+#
+#    - if set to 'untitled', only windows that IBC does not
+#      recognize and that have no title are eligible. These
+#      are usually message boxes or similar small windows,
+#
+#    - if set to 'all', then every window displayed by TWS
+#      is eligible.
+#
+# The default value is 'known'.
+
+LogStructureScope=all
+
+
+# When to Log Window Structure
+# ----------------------------
+#
+# The LogStructureWhen setting specifies the circumstances
+# when eligible TWS windows have their structure logged:
+#
+#     - if set to 'open' or 'yes' or 'true', IBC logs the
+#       structure of an eligible window the first time it
+#       is encountered;
+#
+#    - if set to 'activate', the structure is logged every
+#      time an eligible window is made active;
+#
+#    - if set to 'never' or 'no' or 'false', structure
+#      information is never logged.
+#
+# The default value is 'never'.
+
+LogStructureWhen=never
+
+
+# DEPRECATED SETTING
+# ------------------
+#
+# LogComponents - THIS SETTING WILL BE REMOVED IN A FUTURE
+# RELEASE
+#
+# If LogComponents is set to any value, this is equivalent
+# to setting LogStructureWhen to that same value and
+# LogStructureScope to 'all': the actual values of those
+# settings are ignored. The default is that the values
+# of LogStructureScope and LogStructureWhen are honoured.
+
+#LogComponents=
