Would one of you guys mind explaining what switches are and why that's a better way to trade it than the just the outright futures?

I'm glad it hasn't happened to you, but it had never happened to me either through tens of thousands of trades until this recent instance. Where was it stated that the account management window trumps the portfolio page, trades window, and execution report when trying to determine your...

It was listed in the trade confirmation report on the website but not in the execution report available through the Trades window.

Any IB users, Learn from my recent experience and don't trust what the TWS Portfolio page or the Trades window and report states your position is. I scale in and out and add to and lighten positions all day so I have always counted on my execution software to keep track of my current...

I've been asking them to fix this for some time now, but still see this problem intermittently.

When I started up TWS this morning, I had a position that wasn't showing yesterday after the close or when I shut down TWS at 5AM EST this morning. After looking at my activity report I noticed that the position was showing up there. My exported execution report though shows what TWS showed...

I have this same issue. I also have an issue where my hotkeys in a market depth window cause the focus to jump away from the market depth. I tried using the 884 TWS, but I'm having this problem there as well.

Two days ago I started noticing that my stops were triggering about 3 seconds late consistently while trading ES. My stop price gets hit, and the stop triggers and I'm filled about 3 seconds later. I verify this with the Audit Trail and Time & Sales. I've always been stopped immediately on...
