Well then your B.S.detector doesn't work sorry. Mine on the other hand works very well you see, don't know why . Always has. And I question the motives of your reply. Or maybe you just have a reading comprehension problem, a very frequent problem nowadays, like ADHD. "Not credible to bash a...

I decided for now to go back to my previous version of java, however when I tried to simply delete that folder, java was just binned and it didn't switch to the previous version although I had gone into the console and checked previous version. So it appears I need to uninstall the new java...

I am back (after a little vacation) and luckily my account hasn't been destroyed yet by TWS (crossing fingers). Must be because I have been very scared of the funny markets these past couple of weeks and when I traded, it was very, very small. And I know exactly what to do to avoid the erronuous...

Experienced more of the same: 10 minute wait ! # 1 on the menu (trading) I think not every desk has the same work ethic. When they want to call it a day, they just don't care about your call, or some may be understaffed during the summer holiday period. Anyway that sucks .

Sorry I have been busy with the funny markets. But now I am back to tell you all about IB's response and their "advice" about my problem which fixed nothing and instead transformed my TWS in a timebomb. When I called them, I got the Johnny on the phone and explained this unbelievable situation...

MoreLeverage I was not talking about modifying a live order. The issue I experienced and described occurred when modifying an order (its size) in the process of preparing the order before transmission. I do not know whether any similar issue occurs when modifying a live order, don't recall...

I will see what I can do about the vid, ideally the vid would also show an execution , because just showing the size reverting to actual (previously hidden)size on cancel may not be that convincing, I know it's evidence of the real order size not being the modified size, but only because I got...

The key is whether the true size appears in a flash when you cancel the order , it you don't see a change in size when you cancel, it's working fine.

If I click on Transmit right after deleting the preset size and typing the new size, my TWS version will NOT send an order with the modified size. It will send the order with the previously displayed size, but will show my modified size on all its pages . The "scroll method" I refer to is when...

Well I am not a programmer, and I am still not sure whether TWS always worked like that. But it seems to me it shouldn't be that way, developers should find a way to allow a typed modification to be automatically confirmed. But the real bug is where TWS hides the real size working on the...

The question remains as to whether the need to "confirm" a typed size change has long been a feature of TWS order entry process as claimed by the rep I talked to. But even if it is, I would call this a "bug" or a flaw because of the inconsistency with the change via scroll menu. How is a...

You can double check , and redouble check, won''t do any good since IB TWS shows your modified size before you send and after, when the order is working(on quote page and pending page) . So you don't see the error, but on the exchange an order for an erroneous size is working. If you trade near...

The stock trade mentioned above infuriated me as I realized this TWS malfunction could have the direst consequences on someone's account. That day, I wanted to sell just a few shares of an odd lot which I had held in the account for a long time. But my preset size was several hundreds shares. I...

In this thread, I will expose the workings of this nuclear bomb inside a 2014 version of TWS. I discovered a bug in IB TWS that can potentially destroy your account in one click. I use an older version of TWS like many IB customers who wish to avoid the frequent issues on new TWS releases. So...
