    TOS watchlist Custom Quotes show "loading"

    The Custom Quotes (aka Custom Columns) in all my watchlist are stuck. They show "loading" instead of the calculated numbers. Does anyone have any information on this?

    Problem with today's (March 16) TOS update

    60 views and no replies. No problems with the latest update I guess. But this is EliteTrader, so probably 90% of the readers are trading Paper Money accounts anyway.

    Dan Zanger trading service

    oldtime,... Well, there certainly are traders who fit the description you mentioned :) DO you know the specific issue with the charts? Is it delay related (although I cannot see how that would cause this problem since I can SEE on the chart... the price go well below the stop).

    IB Stop Loss Orders Not Executing
