WebTrader is Java Servlet app. See the url: https://wt1.interactivebrokers.com/webtrader/servlet/login If IB must stick with Java. One suggestion is that you use JSP with multiple tiers. It could have better performance. I have stand-alone TWS installed in my home pc, it does not have...

I have the same feeling ! WebTrader is based on Java technology. It is just not good enough in performance. It is why I always use Ameritrade for stock trading, not IB. If you use WebTrader frequently, it always take you to wait 2-3 minutes to just get the login prompt during regular...

Can IB provide Copper, Wheat trading ?

I used Mobile Trader a lot as I'm always on the road. However, it seems it has a 15 minutes session limit. Which is too tight and I think it is unnecessary. Can this be changed to 60 mintues or more ?
