Have had the same problem on stocks that are well above/below the closing price. IB is flaging stocks biased on a percentage from the closing price now. I get in one trade and then get locked out of another trade. They said they were trying to fix the problem but no results yet.

:( I agree with dlincke and alanm, - losing order line focus is a major problem and bug in TWS. Very annoying. I miss trades because of it, reclicking on orders and re-inputing order info. Order lines should never change focus except when clicked on by the user. Come on IB- FIX IT! flier

Request a detailed audit trail from the compliance officer of your broker- do this in written letter and fax- e-mail it to them. Request the reason of the bust. Audit trail will reveal a lot- it is your right and their obligation to provide it. They have to do it. flier

:) I use a time synchronization program called Tardis 2000. It has about 45 different servers to measure from and can use multiple servers to get the most accurate time then reset the clock automatically. It can be setup to correct the clock at regular times by itself. Works great...

You can try Ping plotter for free. It showers the same things as the tracert, ping, netstat commands, except it puts the information in a more appealing graphics format- and would be easy to use. Cost $15. Here is a link. http://tde.tucows.com/preview/195100.html The home address of your...

Got ahead of myself, The ping and tracert commands are followed by a space then the address (either the www.adress or number address). You can also add after ping -t then the address to contentiously ping the target. flier

While connected to your data feeds open a command prompt window, or ms doss box, and type in netstat ,this will list all your connections to the internet and the addresses. Then in this same box type ping and enter, gives time delays between hops. Also type in tracert this gives...

:) DEF, IB, IB Rapid Order Entry still needs improvement, I don't think it saves any time and there is a better and faster way to get a stock symbol and the orderlines with the routes you want displayed in the quote page with only typing in the symbol to the stock once, then hitting <enter>...

:mad: $79 for L2 quotes is a ripoff. NAS only charges $10 for L2 non-pro. I don't think IB needs to provide such L-2 quotes. Concentrate on building stable ECN links. flier

:confused: Def, I installed the latest version 735g, and it still has the same problem with the buy/sell/cancle/connection color boxes being the pastel shades of the colors that should be there. This is when clicking on a buy or sell and geting the dropdown order line. Tried it on two...

Def, Here is a e-mail i sent IB, which netted a auto response- so I don,t know if they read them all: Dear IB, I just installed the JTWS version 731f after using the previous version and the prior 731 e. There has been a change or it is a bug in the order line which is a problem and...

Some motherboards have a problem with 384MB ram. Have a Gatway p300 cpu with a Intel mb that will cause Win 98 to get buggy if 384 mb ram is installed, but works good with 256. Crucial confirmed this bug in some mb, it was a Microsoft98/MB issue. Flier

:mad: IB's last version of their software 731 f now has a highlighted order line, which is causing the color problem in the buy, sell, cancle, live, and connection color boxes. This is a change they made and is no good- need to go back to the previous color layout. Clicking on buy or sell...
